The contribution of global cattle and buffaloes to the annual enteric methane emission is 77 and 13 per cent, respectively. India has about 13 per cent of the global population of cattle and 53 per cent of the global population of buffaloes and these account for 4.92 and 2.91 Tg of annual global enteric methane emission from the respective species.
ICAR-National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology has carried out systematic and comprehensive research and developed phyto-sources based anti-methanogenic products such as Harit Dhara and Tamarin Plus.
