Ruminant enteric methane mitigation: a review

Animal Production Science, 2011
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 the full impact of any future price on carbon. In this review, strategies for reducing ruminant methane output are considered in relation to rumen ecology and biochemistry,

Methanotrophs in enteric methane mitigation.

2015
Abstract In recent years, greater concern for environmental health, especially the mitigation of greenhouse gases, has been debated on various platforms. Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) and is produced globally by both biotic and anthropogenic activities.

Nutritional management for enteric methane abatement: a review

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 2008
A variety of nutritional management strategies that reduce enteric methane (CH4) production are discussed. Strategies such as increasing the level of grain in the diet, inclusion of lipids and supplementation with ionophores (>24 ppm) are most likely to be implemented by farmers because there is a high probability that they reduce CH4 emissions ...

Dietary mitigation of enteric methane from cattle.

CABI Reviews, 2009
Abstract Enteric methane from ruminants accounts for about 11-17% of methane generated globally, or 17-30% of methane from human activity. Methane arises from the activity of methanogens in the rumen that use hydrogen to reduce carbon dioxide, thereby preventing the accumulation of reducing equivalents, which would otherwise impede ...

Methane Emission from Enteric Fermentation: Methanogenesis and Fermentation

2015
Rumen fermentation of carbohydrates plays a fundamental role in ruminant metabolism as the main source of energy. Acetic, propionic and butyric acids (namely, volatile fatty acids, VFA) are the main products of the rumen fermentation of structural and nonstructural carbohydrates contained in the ruminant’s diet.

Editing microbes to mitigate enteric methane emissions in livestock

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology
Livestock production significantly contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions particularly methane (CH4) emissions thereby influencing climate change. To address this issue further, it is crucial to establish strategies that simultaneously increase ruminant productivity while minimizing GHG emissions, particularly from cattle, sheep, and goats ...

Effects of dilution on methane entering an SOFC anode

Journal of Power Sources, 2002
Abstract Methane and other hydrocarbons such as propane and butane are ideal fuels for SOFCs operating in portable devices for domestic or leisure use [J. Power Sources 71 (1998) 268]. This paper addresses the fuel entry conditions necessary for such devices.

Feed-based approaches in enteric methane amelioration.

2015
Abstract Mitigation of methane (CH4) emissions from ruminants is necessary not only from the global warming point of view but also for saving dietary energy. Livestock being the significant contributors to the anthropogenic CH4 pool have remained the prime target of global research for the past two decades, in order to find suitable ...

Estimation Methodologies for Enteric Methane Emission in Ruminants

2015
As enteric methane emissions from ruminants contribute to feed inefficiency and global warming, methodologies to measure the enteric methane from either the individual ruminant or the herd are needed. Therefore, methane emission estimations in ruminants may provide insight into potential methane mitigation strategies.
