Effects of adaptation of in vitro rumen culture to garlic oil, nitrate and saponin and their combinations on methanogenesis, fermentation, and abundances and diversity of microbial populations

This study investigated the effects of garlic oil (0.25 g/L), nitrate (5 mM) and quillaja saponin (0.6 g/L), alone and in binary or ternary combinations, on methanogenesis, rumen fermentation, and abundances of select microbial populations using in vitro rumen cultures. Potential adaptation to these...
