Seasonal Effect of Grass Nutritional Value on Enteric Methane Emission in Islands Pasture Systems
Animals, 2023 Quantifying entericCH4 from grazing systems is a challenge for all regions of the world, especially when cattle feed mostly on pasture throughout the year, as pasture quality varies with the seasons. In this study, we examine the influence of seasonality

Biowaste-grown live microbial feed additive sustainably and significantly cut enteric methane emissions in Indian livestock [PDF]
Scientific ReportsRuminant enteric methane, the largest agricultural source of CH₄, is a key target in global climate policies. We developed a biowaste-derived live fed microbial (LFM) from fruit- and vegetable residues and evaluated its potential as a scalable ...

Feed additives for methane mitigation: Recommendations for testing enteric methane-mitigating feed additives in ruminant studies [PDF]
Journal of Dairy ScienceThere is a need for rigorous and scientifically-based testing standards for existing and new enteric methane mitigation technologies, including antimethanogenic feed additives (AMFA). The current review provides guidelines for conducting and analyzing data from experiments with ruminants intended to test the antimethanogenic and production effects of ...
