Feed-based approaches in enteric methane amelioration.
2015Abstract 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 ...

Nutritional management for enteric methane abatement: a review
Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 2008A 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 in ...

Enteric methane emissions from German pigs [PDF]
, 2012 Methane emissions from enteric fermentation of pigs are object of emission reporting. Hitherto they were treated as part of the energy balance of pigs, in accordance with IPCC guidance documents. They were calculated from the gross energy intake rate and a constant methane conversion ratio. Meanwhile numerous experimental data on methane emissions from

Editing microbes to mitigate enteric methane emissions in livestock
World Journal of Microbiology and BiotechnologyLivestock 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 ...

Enteric Methane Production Potential of Non-Leguminous Forages
Animal Nutrition and Feed Technology, 2015The present study was undertaken to assess the methane production potential of multi-cut nonleguminous forages viz. rye grass and guinea grass harvested through four cuts using in sacco degradation and in vitro gas production (IVGP) procedures.

Enteric Methane Emission and Reduction Strategies in Sheep
2017Climate change is associated with the anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) is widely evident throughout the world. CH4 is considered one of the major GHGs, 20 times more potent than CO2, contributing to 15–20% of total global GHG emission.

Prediction of enteric methane production in beef cattle
2016Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas with an elevated global warming potential (GWP) equivalent to 28 times that of CO2. Also, production of enteric CH4 results in a 2 to 12% loss of the gross energy intake of cattle thus knowing the amount of CH4 released to the environment is important. The overall objective of this research was to evaluate the accuracy

Enteric methane mitigation in ruminants through feeding
2017Action against climate change can be achieved through greenhouse gas mitigation, especially decreasing methane emission. Methane is naturally produced in the rumen. Decreasing enteric methane emission in domestic ruminants, including beef cattle, can be achieved through various feeding practices.

Enteric methane emissions from German dairy cows
2012Up to now, the German agricultural emission inventory used a model for the assessment of methane emissions from enteric fermentation that combined an estimate of the energy and feed requirements as a function of performance parameters and diet composition, with the constant methane conversion rate provided in the IPCC guidelines.

Reducing Enteric Methane Emission Using Plant Secondary Metabolites
2015Methane is produced from the anaerobic fermentation in ruminants as a pathway for the disposal of metabolic hydrogen produced during microbial metabolism. This methane is not only related to environmental problems but also is associated with energy losses to the tune of 8–12 % of ingested gross energy.
