Simple Summary Regardless of the production system adopted, ruminant livestock
contribute to greenhouse emissions that are associated with climate change. Among the …

A wide range of plant bioactive components (phytochemicals) have been identified as
having potential to modulate the processes of fermentation in the rumen. The use of plants …

The objective of this work was to study nutritional strategies for decreasing methane
production by ruminants fed tropical diets, combining in vitro and in vivo methods. The in …

Methane (CH4) gas is a by-product of anaerobic fermentation of carbohydrates in the rumen
of ruminant species. Agriculture contributes with 47% of anthropogenic emissions of CH4 …

The rumen is an integrated dynamic microbial ecosystem composed of enormous
populations of bacteria, protozoa, fungi, archaea, and bacteriophages. These microbes …

Simple Summary Increasing fibrous feed digestibility while reducing methane (CH4)
emission through manipulating rumen fermentation patterns to improve animal performance …

Objective The aim of the experiment was to assess the effect of increasing amounts of
Leucaena leucocephala forage on dry matter intake (DMI), organic matter intake (OMI) …

Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala), a leguminous shrub promising to cope with feed
scarcity in the tropics, may help in mitigating ruminal methane (CH4) emission in the tropics …

Two comparative in vitro and in vivo experiments were accomplished to assess the effects of
Moringa oleifera root bark (MRB) and ionophore antibiotic monensin as dietary feed …

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the inclusion of Leucaena leucocephala on
dry matter (DM) intake and digestibility, nitrogen (N) balance and energy utilization in cattle …
