Question

Cattle ranches cause acute green house effect because of

• A. Methanogenic bacteria in rumen
• B. Mechanised milking practices
• C. Decomposition of organic remains in faeces
• D. Decomposition of left over fodder

Answer 1

The correct option is A Methanogenic bacteria in rumen

Cattle ranches are the grazing animals that are raised on a large land area. Cattles are responsible for green house effect because their rumen (stomach) contains methanogenic bacteria that produce methane gas which is a green house gas. Methane gas is released by the cattle in the atmosphere which then causes green house gas by trapping the radiations and this results in warming of earth's surface.

So, the correct answer is 'Methanogenic bacteria in rumen'.
