Global warming occurs as a result of gases emitted by humans into the atmosphere, creating greenhouse effect. The livestock sector contributes between 25 and 40 % of anthropogenic methane emissions. This value arises as a result of cellulose disintegration of ruminant animals in the enteric fermentation process. Approximately 10% of methane production in animal husbandry is produced from anaerobic fertilizer storage. However, when the animals are grazed, the fertilizer is left directly in the soil, which reduces the emissions from animal manure. Human-derived animal production effects to global warming by providing 9 % of CO2 emissions, 35- 40 % of CH4 emissions and 65 % of N2O emissions. On the other hand, as a result of global warming and high temperature and drought, sustainable animal production systems and threats to the survival of various ecosystems are seen. Livestock production will be affected by changes in temperature and water source through impacts on pasture and forage quantity and quality, concentrate feed and price, and disease and pest development. Animal production is the world’s largest land use sector and utilizes around 60 % of the global biomass harvest. In future years, climate change will affect the natural resource base of animal production, especially the productivity of range land and feed crop. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the livestock production system is not a high priority, but it is necessary to reduce the economic power of the business and the strategies to reduce emissions. In this review, ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to animal husbandry and the interaction between global warming and the livestock sector will be discussed extensively.
