Journal ArticleDOI
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.

TL;DR: Improve forage quality and the overall efficiency of dietary nutrient use is an effective way of decreasing CH4 Ei, and several feed supplements have a potential to reduce CH4 emission from ruminants although their long-term effect has not been well established and some are toxic or may not be economically feasible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of hydrogen on rumen methane formation and fermentation balances through microbial growth kinetics and fermentation thermodynamics
TL;DR: Analysis of the literature confirms that increased particulate passage rate is associated with higher rumen H2 concentrations, less CH4 formation, and increased importance of propionate as a fermentation endproduct, and the model suggests that the prevailing H2 concentration influences the thermodynamics of rumen fermentation.

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.
