Slide 10: Role of Ruminants in Food Security and Livelihoods
ROLE OF RUMINANTS IN FOOD SECURITY AND LIVELIHOODS ‹#› many of people who depend on livestock are among the most vulnerable populations • 730 million poor live in rural and marginal areas • 430 million are poor livestock keepers • direct food - high value protein • traction and nutrients for arable

Slide 13: Large Technical Mitigation Potential
LARGE TECHNICAL MITIGATION POTENTIAL ‹#› Production units aligned to average emission intensity of 10th percentile Addressing the emission intensity gap Production units aligned to average emission intensity of 25th percentile enteric CH4 emissions can be reduced by approximately between 22% and 33%
Slide 14: Mitigation Potential
MITIGATION POTENTIAL ‹#› Meeting/Workshop title • place and date
Slide 15: Enteric Methane Emissions Are Energy Losses
ENTERIC METHANE EMISSIONS ARE ENERGY LOSSES: 2-12% OF ‹#› FEED ENERGY IS LOST There is a strong link between GHG emission intensity and resource use efficiency Meeting/Workshop title • place and date
Slide 16: Partitioning of Feed Energy
‹#› PARTITIONING OF FEED ENERGY Ruminant animals with low levels of production efficiency have relatively high methane emissions per unit of product because these animals use a large fraction of their feed intake solely for maintenance. Meeting/Workshop title • place and date

REDUCTION IMPROVES PRODUCTIVITY ‹#› RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MILK YIELD AND ENTERIC CH4 PER KG MILK Meeting/Workshop title • place and date
Slide 18: Addressing Enteric Methane from Livestock
‹#› ADDRESSING ENTERIC METHANE FROM LIVESTOCK Meeting/Workshop title • place and date
Slide 19: A Wide Range of Technical Interventions
A WIDE RANGE OF TECHNICAL INTERVENTIONS TO IMPROVE ‹#› NATURAL RESOURCE USE EFFICIENCY & PRODUCTIVITY AND REDUCE EMISSIONS Enteric CH4 : at animal AND herd level • Improved feeding practices and feed processing (improving forage quality, feed processing, concentrate use) • Supplementary feeding - in
Slide 20: Mitigation Options: Feeding, Supplements, Herd Management
‹#› Feeding practices Supplements & additives Herd mgt. A wide range of mitigation options for reducing methane from enteric fermentation Many have some mitigation uncertainty, are not cost effective, have poorly understood interactive effects with other emission sources, or other associated risk.
Slide 21: Benefits from Enteric CH4 Reduction
BENEFITS FROM ENTERIC CH4 REDUCTION Specialized beef ‹#› Mixed dairy production production in in South Asia South America Notes Global impacts - Million tonnes CO2 eq. 213 201 Enteric Methane Baseline - Percentage of enteric methane in (62%) (50%) total GHG mitigation - Million tonnes CO2 eq. -54 -9
Slide 22: Summary: Why Focus on Enteric CH4?
‹#› SUMMARY: WHY FOCUS ON ENTERIC CH4 ? • Opportunity for high impact. 78% of agricultural and 30% of global methane emissions; expected to grow • Low cost and wide range of co-benefits (climate, productivity, profitability, food security, nutritional benefits, human health benefits, adaptation (gre
Slide 23: From Science to Action: Issues to Consider
‹#› FROM SCIENCE TO ACTION: ISSUES TO CONSIDER • Importance of the sector: food security, livelihoods, income, economic development, exposure to CC • Complexity added by the diversity and heterogeneity of livestock systems • Barriers:limited awareness of emissions levels, reduction opportunities and

Slide 28: Tools: Linking Productivity Gains to Emissions Reduction
TOOLS: LINKING PRODUCTIVITY GAINS TO EMISSIONS REDUCTION ‹#› Bridging the milk yield gap Methane emissions = 64% • xi= Yield gaps due to “animal husbandry practices” • yi= Gap in productivity due to “genotype” • A protocol and accounting tool, validated by third party, to certify emission reduction
Slide 29: Key Messages
KEY MESSAGES ‹#› Agricultural emissions are highly variable and reflect the diversity of production environments. Implementation needs to adapt to local conditions and technological solutions differ from place to place; blanket solutions are bound to fail. In developing countries, any mitigation str
