Role of Age-Related Shifts in Rumen Bacteria and Methanogens in Methane Production in Cattle
Rumen microbiota are essential for maintaining digestive and metabolic functions, producing methane as a byproduct. Dairy heifers produce large amounts of methane based on fermentation of digested organic matter, with adverse consequences for feed efficiency and the environment. It is therefore impo...
