Decreasing the fiber content of forages has been found to scale back methane production. Particularly, some legume forages are shown to decrease CH4 production, which has been explained by the presence of condensed tannins, low fiber content, high DM intake, and faster passage from rumen. Saponins, like China tree and Sesbania sesban, have potential to scale back CH4 production through an immediate effect on methanogen bacteria and protozoal number. Addition of 3–5% of the diet as tallow or oils has been found to decrease the methane production by 2–3%. Cattle production features a long history and milk production wasn't always the last word goal. Keeping cows and oxen for draughting purposes and for the production of natural manure was as important as for milk and beef production even in Europe till the mid of the twentieth century. This is the rationale that quite number of European breeds are well muscled and have sound feet and legs. Modern breeding programs combined with AI (AI) were applied in most of the breeds, improving milk yield and beef performance at an equivalent time. In Scandinavia, as well as in continental Europe, selection programs started around 1965 and replaced the former dominance of the show ring. Since these breeding programs are quite successful, many dual-purpose breeds still exist and are under active improvement. Farm size and price of land are another explanation for missing competition of beef breeds in most parts of Europe. Therefore, milk and beef are produced with the same breeds. This article also covers minor breeds, but it is impossible to describe all of them. References offer the possibility to go into further detail, and it should be mentioned that there are several activities to document the world cattle gene pool and also programs to conserve some of the original breeds.
