畜産は世界のGHG排出に大きく寄与するが、疾病による生産性低下が排出原単位を悪化させる。本レビューは寄生虫、乳腺炎、繁殖障害などの疾病と排出の関係を整理し、家畜衛生改善が排出削減と生産性向上の両立に有効であることを示す。また、現行のGHG会計枠組み（Tier1,2）における疾病影響の捉え方の限界と改善点を議論する。
English
This review synthesizes evidence linking livestock health to greenhouse gas emissions intensity, showing that disease control improves productivity and reduces emissions per unit output. It highlights significant mitigation potential in low- and middle-income countries and identifies gaps in current GHG accounting frameworks regarding animal health impacts.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では畜産由来のGHG排出削減が急務ではないが、グローバルサプライチェーンを通じたScope 3排出管理や、畜産物輸入に関わる企業にとって、本レビューの知見はサプライヤーにおける排出原単位改善の根拠となり得る。
In the global GX context
This review is globally relevant as it makes the case for integrating animal health into climate policy, particularly for NDCs and corporate Scope 3 accounting in agricultural supply chains. It also critiques existing Tier 1/2 GHG accounting for failing to capture disease-related emission variations, urging adoption of higher-tier methods.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Important for researchers studying agricultural mitigation potential and GHG accounting methodology improvements.
🏢実務担当者:Livestock companies and supply chain managers can use these findings to justify investments in animal health as a cost-effective emission reduction strategy.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers should consider including animal health interventions in national climate plans and agricultural support programs.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Livestock production contributes substantially to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, yet the role of animal health in mitigating these emissions remains under-recognised within both research and policy frameworks. Diseases reduce productivity, impair reproductive performance, increase mortality and culling rates, and prolong production cycles, thereby increasing GHG emissions intensity. This review brings together current evidence linking animal health and GHG emissions across major disease categories and production systems, including parasitic infections, mastitis, and reproductive disorders. Available studies consistently demonstrate that improving animal health can reduce emissions intensity through gains in productivity and resource-use efficiency, although the magnitude of these effects varies among diseases, livestock systems, and regions. Evidence from sub-Saharan Africa, India, and South America highlights both the potential mitigation benefits of disease control and the substantial data gaps that remain, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The review also examines how animal health is represented within current GHG accounting frameworks and discusses the limitations of existing Tier 1 and Tier 2 approaches in capturing disease-related impacts on emissions. While higher-tier methodologies offer greater biological realism, their application is often constrained by data availability. Improving the integration of animal health within emissions assessment frameworks, livestock development programmes, and climate policy could provide a practical pathway to reduce emissions intensity while delivering co-benefits for productivity, animal welfare, food security, and rural livelihoods.
