Answer 1

Answer:

Livestock produce greenhouse gases, especially methane, from their digestive processes. Ruminants, such as cows, use bacteria to help digest food. ... Approximately 37% of human-induced methane production comes from livestock. Ammonia gas is commonly used as a fertilizer and some of it escapes into the atmosphere.

Answer 2

Livestock produce greenhouse gases, especially methane, from their digestive processes. Ruminants, such as cows, use bacteria to help digest food. This is an inefficient process.

In modern livestock facilities, the high density of animals results in the emission of large quantities of methane and other small hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia.

Approximately 37% of human-induced methane production comes from livestock.

Ammonia gas is commonly used as a fertilizer and some of it escapes into the atmosphere. Overfertilization with solid or liquid fertilizers causes soil bacteria to produce excess quantities of nitrous oxide.

Pesticides and fumigants, such as methyl bromide, are added to fields. These toxic substances escape as gases or as particulate matter that is carried by wind.

Tractors and other farm machinery use petroleum. This equipment lacks the emission control devices that are required on automobiles.
