| Summary: | Methane (CH4) emissions from enteric fermentation that occurs in the digestive systems of ruminant animals. Includes asses, buffalos, camels, cattle, goats, horses, llamas, mules, sheep, and swine. | |
| Method: | GHG emissions are provided by country, regions and special groups, with global coverage. The FAO does not provide an assessment of uncertainty, thus we present this value as approximate. | |
