Methanogenic archaea reside primarily in the rumen and the lower segments of the
intestines of ruminants, where they utilize the reducing equivalents derived from rumen …

The goal of this review was to analyze published data related to mitigation of enteric
methane (CH4) emissions from ruminant animals to document the most effective and …

Increasingly countries are seeking to reduce emission of greenhouse gases from the
agricultural industries, and livestock production in particular, as part of their climate change …

Simple Summary Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. It is 80-times more effective at
heating the earth than carbon dioxide over the first 20 years following release into the …

Although livestock production accounts for a sizeable share of global greenhouse gas
emissions, numerous technical options have been identified to mitigate these emissions. In …

Maximizing the flow of metabolic hydrogen ([H]) in the rumen away from CH4 and toward
volatile fatty acids (VFA) would increase the efficiency of ruminant production and decrease …

In Australia, agriculture is responsible for~ 17% of total greenhouse gas emissions with
ruminants being the largest single source. However, agriculture is likely to be shielded from …

Feeding nitrate to dairy cows may lower ruminal methane production by competing for
reducing equivalents with methanogenesis. Twenty lactating Holstein-Friesian dairy cows …
