Sheep Methane Emission on Semiarid Native Pasture—Potential Impacts of Either Zinc Sulfate or Propylene Glycol as Mitigation Strategies

Sheep Methane Emission on Semiarid Native Pasture—Potential Impacts of Either Zinc Sulfate or Propylene Glycol as Mitigation Strategies

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Zinc sulfate and propylene glycol (PG) on methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) emission, nutrient intake, digestibility, and production in sheep grazing on a native <i>Caatinga</i> (Brazilian semi-arid savannah) pasture during the rain...
