Change in greenhouse gas emissions, water and land use over 50-yr period examined
There is interest in identifying natural products capable of manipulating rumen microbial activity to develop new feed additives for ruminant nutrition as a strategy to reduce methane. Two trials were performed using the in vitro gas production technique to evaluate the interaction of substrate (n...
In order to ascertain the effects of supplementation of a blend of ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi) oil and nitrate on rumen fermentation and microbial profile, three rumen-fistulated buffaloes were used in a 3×3 switch over design. The dietary treatments involved feeding of a basal diet alone without...
The effects of rice bran and corn on ensiling characteristics of potato vines were investigated. Ruminal fermentation of potato vine silage was measured using a rumen simulation technique (Rusitec). Potato vines were treated (fresh weight basis) for ensiling without additives (control), with 15%...
It was hypothesised that the inclusion of nitrate (NO3-) or cysteamine hydrochloride (CSH) in a protein deficient diet (4.8% crude protein; CP) would improve the productivity of sheep while reducing enteric methane (CH4) emissions. A complete randomised designed experiment was conducted with...
Ruminant methane production is a significant energy loss to the animal and major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. However, it also seems necessary for effective rumen function, so studies of anti-methanogenic treatments must also consider implications for feed efficiency....
Combined levels of cottonseed oil and tannin from tea by-products (Camellia sinensis) were added to diets fed to thirty growing crossbred cattle (Brahman x Laisind) in a completely randomized block design (RCB) experiment with six replications per treatment. The animals were offered one of 5 diets: ...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate, through a survey conducted on commercial farms, the global warming potential (GWP) of different lactating cow total mixed rations (TMR) and to identify the best dietary strategies to increase feed efficiency (FE) and reduce enteric CH4 emission. A total ...
