We study the effect of magnetic field on the dominant neutrino emission processes in neutron stars.The processes are first calculated for the case when the magnetic field does not exceed the critical value to confine electrons to the lowest Landau state.We then consider the more important case of intense magnetic field to evaluate the direct URCA and the neutronisation processes. In order to estimate the effect we derive the composition of cold nuclear matter at high densities and in beta equilibrium, a situation appropriate for neutron stars. The hadronic interactions are incorporated through the exchange of scalar and vector mesons in the frame work of relativistic mean field theory. In addition the effects of anomalous magnetic moments of nucleons are also considered.
