Variations in methane emissions from dairy cows: associations with rumen microbial synergy and metabolic pathway divergence

Abstract Background Methane (CH4) is a metabolic by-product of rumen microbial fermentation, contributing significantly to global warming and dietary energy loss. Elucidating the mechanisms underlying natural variation in rumen methanogenesis is essential for the development of effective CH4 mitigat...
