Nitrate decreases ruminal methane production with slight changes to ruminal methanogen composition of nitrate-adapted steers
Abstract Background This study was conducted to examine effects of nitrate on ruminal methane production, methanogen abundance, and composition. Six rumen-fistulated Limousin×Jinnan steers were fed diets supplemented with either 0% (0NR), 1% (1NR), or 2% (2NR) nitrate (dry matter basis) regimens in...
