TLDR
The addition of monensin gave the expected decrease in acetate:propionate ratios, decreased acetate and butyrate production, and increased valerate (but not propionate) production.About:

Methane production by ruminants: its contribution to global warming
TL;DR: The most promising areas for future research for reducing methanogenesis are the development of new products/delivery systems for anti-methanogenic compounds or alternative electron acceptors in theRumen and reduction in protozoal numbers in the rumen.

Manipulation of ruminal fermentation
TL;DR: A proper balance between fermentative and glandular digestion needs to be achieved for optimal productivity in ruminants as mentioned in this paper, which is the goal of most of the diets formulated with an intention of providing the animal with optimal levels of nutrients to achieve the optimal level of performance.

Control of rumen methanogenesis.
C. J. Van Nevel,Daniël Demeyer +1 more
TL;DR: It can be concluded that drastic inhibition of methane production is not unequivocally successful as a result of several factors, such as: instantaneous inhibition often followed by restoration of methanogenesis due to adaptation of the microbes or degradation of the additive, toxicity for the host animal, negative effects on overall digestion and productive performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generally Overlooked Fundamentals of Bacterial Genetics and Ecology
TL;DR: The overall themes are that propagation of resistance is an ecological problem, and thus ameliorating this problem requires recognition of long-established information on the commensal microbiota of mammals, as well as that of recent molecular understanding of the genetic agents involved in the movement of resistance genes.

Methane output and lactation response in Holstein cattle with monensin or unsaturated fat added to the diet
TL;DR: The ruminal microflora in the cows that had previously received monensin seemed to have undergone some adaptive changes and no longer responded as before and was seen to have depressed ruminal biohydrogenation.

Ionophores: their effect on production efficiency and mode of action [Rumen fermentation, proton, cation gradients, monensin, lasalocid].
W G Bergen,D B Bates +1 more
TL;DR: The effect of ionophores on prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is described and this knowledge is then utilized to explain many of the observed ionophore effects on the rumen fermentations and host gastrointestinal physiology.

Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Monensin on the Performance of Cattle
TL;DR: Energy metabolism data suggested that monensin improved digestibility of DM, reduced fasting heat production and increased dietary net energy maintenance (NEm) values more than it increased net energy gain (NEg) values.
