Abstract: Methane production is a natural byproduct of enteric fermentation of carbohydrates to volatile fatty acids in rumen of dairy cattle. Dietary ingredients can influence how much methane is produced by microorganisms in the rumen. This seminar will highlight previous research conducted at DFRC and describe how diet formulation, feed ingredient selection, and feed additives can mitigate enteric methane emissions from lactating dairy cows.
