Enteric Methane Production, Yield, and Intensity in Smallholder Dairy Farming Systems in Peri‐Urban Areas of Coastal West African Countries: Case Study of Benin

Enteric Methane Production, Yield, and Intensity in Smallholder Dairy Farming Systems in Peri‐Urban Areas of Coastal West African Countries: Case Study of Benin

ABSTRACT Enteric methane (eCH4) is a major environmental pollutant emitted by ruminants. To target mitigation measures, it is necessary to accurately estimate GHG emissions from livestock farming. Until now, milk‐producing farms in the peri‐urban areas of South Benin are pasture‐based systems, and h...
