The neutrino emissivity of compact stars is investigated in this work. We consider stars consisting of nuclear as well as quark matter for this purpose. Different models are used to calculate the composition of nuclear and quark matter and the neutrino emissivity. Depending on the model under consideration, the neutrino emissivity of nuclear as well as quark matter varies over a wide range. We find that for nuclear matter, the direct URCA processes are allowed for most of the relativistic models without and with strange baryons, whereas for the nonrelativistic models this shows a strong dependence on the type of nuclear interaction employed. When the direct URCA processes are allowed, the neutrino emissivity of hadronic matter is larger than that of the quark matter by several orders of magnitude. We also find that the neutrino emissivity departs from $T^6$ behavior when the temperature is larger than the difference in the Fermi momenta of the particles, participating in the neutrino-producing reactions.
