Summary
Livestock production significantly contributes to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), and carbon dioxide (CO₂), posing challenges to climate change mitigation and environmental sustainability. This review explores advanced, system-wide approaches to reduce emissions from livestock systems while enhancing productivity, resilience, and resource efficiency. It covers short-term mitigation strategies such as dietary interventions-including methane inhibitors, microbial modulators, and natural compounds-that target enteric fermentation. Long-term solutions involve genetic and breeding innovations, such as microbiome-genome interaction analyses, CRISPR-based editing, and low-methane phenotyping, supported by genomic selection and precision phen
