Notice how the title is about land use emissions. That's about changes in how land is used, not overall ememissions.
Deforestation is done to clear land tongrow animal feed more than anything else. It's not just methane from the cattle.
'Livestock’ emissions here include direct emissions from livestock only – they do not consider impacts of land use change for pasture or animal feed.
