Journal ArticleDOI
Exploitation of dietary tannins to improve rumen metabolism and ruminant nutrition.
TL;DR: The effects of tannins on nitrogen metabolism in the rumen and intestine, and microbial populations (bacteria, protozoa, fungi and archaea), metabolism of tANNins, microbial tolerance mechanisms to tannin, inhibition of methanogenesis, ruminal biohydrogenation processes and performance of animals are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new perspective on the use of plant secondary metabolites to inhibit methanogenesis in the rumen
TL;DR: Although PSM may negatively affect nutrient utilization, there is evidence that methanogenesis could be suppressed without adversely affecting rumen fermentation, which could be exploited to mitigate methane emission in ruminants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary phytochemicals as rumen modifiers: a review of the effects on microbial populations
TL;DR: A greater understanding of the modulatory effects of phytochemicals on the rumen microbial populations together with fermentation will allow a better management of theRumen ecosystem and a practical application of this feed additive technology in livestock production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Essential Oils on Methane Production and Fermentation by, and Abundance and Diversity of, Rumen Microbial Populations
Amlan Kumar Patra,Zhongtang Yu +1 more
TL;DR: A single EO may not effectively and practically mitigate methane emission from ruminants unless used at low doses in combinations with other antimethanogenic compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rumen methanogens and mitigation of methane emission by anti-methanogenic compounds and substances
TL;DR: This review provides a brief overview of the rumen methanogens and then an appraisal of most of the antimethanogenic compounds and substances that have been evaluated both in vitro and in vivo.
