摘要

Current greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from Canada's agriculture sector are estimated at over 66 mégatonnes C02-equivalent, representing approximately 10% of total GHG emissions in the country. Animal agriculture contributes 58 % of the total emissions from agriculture; with 28 % associated with enteric fermentation and 30 % related to manure handling, storage and land application. Animal agriculture is unique because the majority of GHG emissions are not related to fossil fuel use, rather emissionsare associated with microbes used for breakdown and digestion of feed in the animal gut and anaerobic or aerobic decomposition of manure generated following the excretion of feed that was not successfully utilized by the animal. Unlike many other sectors, where reduced fossil fuel use is directly related to reduce GHG emissions, the agriculture sector must first develop a better understanding of these microbial processes before effective mitigation strategies can be employed with confidence. Enteric GHG emissions are primarily associated with ruminants, which release methane as an end-product of fermentation in the rumen and large intestine. The methane emitted by ruminants can represent a significant portion (4 to 12 %) of the feed energy offered tothe animal. Feeding and management strategies that improve production efficiencies of the animal are, therefore, likely to simultaneously reduce energy lost in the form of methane. Our understanding of GHG emissions from manure is not as clear. Current estimates for the amount of manure produced by livestock, the apportionment of manure to the various handling and storage systems, the composition of manure, and the coefficients used for methane and nitrous oxide emissions for the various storage and land application systems were derived using very little Canadian data. Considerable error may exist in the current estimates associated with manure handling, storage and application, which presents a serious dilemma for municipal and provincial governmentsunder pressure to develop manure handling policies. The relative impact of nutritional and manure handling strategies will be discussed in the context of intensive livestock production systems.
