PRECISION LIVESTOCK FARMING AS A CLIMATESMART STRATEGY FOR SUSTAINABLE DAIRY PRODUCTION AND PLANETARY HEALTH Abstract The dairy sector faces mounting pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while maintaining productivity and ensuring animal welfare. Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) integrates sensor technologies, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics to optimize herd management and reduce environmental footprints.…

DIETARY SEAWEED SUPPLEMENTATION REDUCES ENTERIC METHANE EMISSIONS AND IMPROVES FEED EFFICIENCY IN TROPICAL BEEF CATTLE Abstract Enteric methane emissions from ruminant livestock represent a major contributor to agricultural greenhouse gas outputs and global climate change. Climate-smart feeding strategies are increasingly being explored to mitigate methane emissions without compromising productivity. This study evaluated the effect of…

ONE HEALTH APPROACHES TO PREVENTING AND CONTROLLING ZOONOTIC DISEASES:INTEGRATING HUMAN, ANIMAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH FOR SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL HEALTH SECURITY Abstract Zoonotic diseases, transmissible between animals and humans, pose major threats to public health, food security, and economic stability, and emerging pathogens like SARS-CoV-2, Ebola, avian influenza, and antimicrobial-resistant bacteria highlight the need for coordinated interventions,…

DIETARY STRATEGIES FOR ENTERIC METHANE MITIGATION IN DAIRY COWS: EVALUATING THE EFFECTS OF NITRATE AND SEAWEED SUPPLEMENTATION ON GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, MILK PRODUCTION Abstract Methane (CH₄) from enteric fermentation in ruminants, produced mainly by rumen methanogenic archaea using hydrogen and carbon dioxide from microbial feed fermentation, is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming…
