Abstract Greenhouse gas emissions from ruminants, including methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), make a significant contribution to global warming. Exploring novel and effective approaches for reducing ruminant greenhouse gas emissions is essential for cleaner livestock production and alleviating global warming. To investigate the effectiveness of a new feed source, Neolamarckia cadamba leaves (NCL), in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from ruminants as well as the underlying mechanism, 0%, 10%, 30%, and 50% NCL were ensiled with corn stalk in two trials. The results indicated that NCL inclusion increased the crude protein content (P
