| dc.description.abstract | As the threat of global warming escalates, the livestock industry looks into exploring how
different feed additives may reduce greenhouse gas emissions, namely methane gas. The
reviews of various literature explore new and innovative nutritional additions in the daily
rations of ruminant species that help reduce methane emissions significantly for the benefit of
reducing greenhouse gases globally. Feed additives which suppress the enzyme that triggers
methane production as well as those that modulate the rumen microbiome such as various
species of algae, forages and specific essential oil blends are only some of the solutions that
will be discussed in this review. Authorised feed additives on the market that are readily
available and showing their effects will also be evaluated. In vitro and in vivo studies using
different methods of experimenting will be discussed. | en_US |
