Abstract

Global warming, droughts and the drowning of the island nations are among the most devastating effects of climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions.Therefore, with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with livestock activities and to create a framework for supporting research projects in animal science, this study was conducted.Through the search and collecting the available information on the Internet, libraries and specialized sites, as well as the holding of various meetings and participation in international expert conferences and the setting up of special questionnaire, research strategies were presented as large-scale projects and research projects.In order to reduce greenhouse gases with the origin of animal production and create a complete research chain in Iran, eight research strategies, including studies on livestock species and their number in country, improvement and breeding of ruminant animals, nutritional strategies and increasing the nutritional value of livestock and poultry feeds, improving ruminal microorganisms, research into livestock buildings and facilities, modification of the structure of  slaughterhouses, changing and modifying the pattern of fuel consumption and production of biogas, as well as changes and modifying the pattern of animal protein consumption, in the form of 59 master plans and projects were presented.In general, the implementation of national and international commitments, the presentation and implementation of research strategies to create a complete research chain, research control on animal science projects and public education (people and industrial factory farms) are among the most important strategies.
