Sažetak
The global livestock sector significantly contribute to the total anthropogenic GHG emissions, but at the other hand, it can also deliver a significant share of the necessary mitigation effort. Since the ruminants are the main contributor to the livestock sector emission, the aims of this study were to define global flow of GHG emission in supply chain, sources of GHG emission as well as the differences in emission intensity between production systems that is milk or meat production and grazing or mixed systems in cattle, sheep and goats. Also, relationship between emission intensity and system productivity was analyzed. It was found that main source of GHG emissions in ruminants supply chain, milk or meat, is enteric fermentation and feed production. Also, meat production systems contribute more to the sector’s emissions than milk production system. Furthermore, grazing system, comparing to the mixed, produce more GHG. This stands for all studied ruminants, cattle, sheep and goats. Further, in ruminant production systems, there is a strong negative relationship between productivity and emission intensity that is emission intensity decreases as yield increases. Considering that the livestock sector currently is in challenging period when the necessity of sectors GHG emissions reduction and significant demand growth for livestock products (projected to be +70% between year 2005 and 2050) need to be harmonized, stimulation of dairy farmers for higher production level seems to be effective mitigation measure.
