Which gas can be linked with livestock farming?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Methane
Ruminant livestock such as cattle and buffalo produce methane during digestion through enteric fermentation. Methane can also be released from manure when it decomposes without oxygen. Because methane traps much more heat per molecule than carbon dioxide over a shorter period, livestock farming is an important agricultural greenhouse-gas source.
