Effect of multispecies swards on ruminal fermentation, methane emission and potential for climate care cattle farming − an in vitro study by M.U. Hassan, P. Sidoruk, D. Lechniak, M. Szumacher-Strabel, J. Bocianowski, S. Ślusarczyk, P.R. Hargreaves, D. Ruska, A. Dorbe, Dz. Kreismane, K. Klumpp, J. Bloor, R.M. Rees, A. Kuipers, P. Galama, Z. Váradyová, K. Čobanová, A. Cieślak

“…Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock ruminants, particularly methane (CH4), nitrous oxide, and indirectly ammonia (NH3) significantly contribute to climate change and global warming. Conventional monoculture swards for cattle feeding, such as perennial ryegrass or Italian ryegrass, usually require substantial fertiliser inputs. …”

“…However, studies show more and more often that cocoa-based agroforestry systems host a relativily high diversity of shade species, compared to monoculture plantations. In addition to the goods and services provided by these species, only local farmers' perceptions could allow the maintenance and success of this cultivation system in forest-savanna transition zone, considered as unfavorable for cocoa cultivation. …”
