Abstract

The impact of methane emission on the environment due to livestock cumulative density was studied computationally using MATLAB ODE45 numerical scheme for a time interval of 0(30)720 days. The study revealed that on the based day of our experimental time here called the initial condition, the relative abundance of the livestock cumulative density relative N1 is recorded as two hundred (200) in size whereas the methane gas emission N2 records two hundred and fifty (250) unit emitted. Furthermore, from the thirtieth (30th) day up to the seven hundred and tweenth (720th) day, the data base result shows a monotonic increasing pattern in the relative abundance of both coordinates which converges to a saturating value of 992 sizes for the livestock cumulative density and 897 units as the methane gas emitted into the environment. From the result obtained, we observed further in this time interval that as the livestock cumulative density increases, the methane gas emitted into the environment increases, which indicates a direct proportion in terms of their interactions.The full detailed results and discussion is presented in this study.
