Abstract: Abstract Previous research demonstrated that a fixed value of 0.2433 (SE = 0.0134) Mcal of CH4/kg of dry matter intake (DMI) could be used to predict CH4 production with accuracy and precision on par with similar equations… read more here.

Abstract: CH4 produced by ruminants aggravates the greenhouse effect and cause wastage of feed energy, and CH4 emissions are related to methanogens. According to the current literature, there is a symbiotic relationship between methanogens and cellulolytic… read more here.
