Abstract

Carbon-neutral livestock farming is an emerging approach aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining productivity and sustainability. This paper explores key innovations and best practices in achieving carbon neutrality in livestock systems, including precision feeding, regenerative grazing, manure management, methane mitigation strategies, and renewable energy integration. Advances in feed additives, genetic selection, carbon sequestration through agroforestry, and waste-to-energy technologies are also discussed as viable pathways to reducing the carbon footprint of livestock farming. Additionally, the role of policy frameworks, carbon credit programs, and farmer-led sustainability initiatives is examined. By adopting a multi-faceted approach, carbon-neutral livestock farming can contribute to climate change mitigation, environmental conservation, and long-term agricultural resilience.
