Pilot Study of the Effects of Polyphenols from Chestnut Involucre on Methane Production, Volatile Fatty Acids, and Ammonia Concentration during In Vitro Rumen Fermentation

Nutritional strategies can be employed to mitigate greenhouse emissions from ruminants. This article investigates the effects of polyphenols extracted from the involucres of <i>Castanea mollissima</i> Blume (PICB) on in vitro rumen fermentation. Three healthy Angus bulls (350 ± 50 kg), w...
