Lee, C. and Beauchemin, KA 2014. A review of feeding supplementary nitrate to ruminant
animals: Nitrate toxicity, methane emissions, and production performance. Can. J. Anim. Sci …

Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas (GHG) produced and released by eructation to the
atmosphere in large volumes by ruminants. Enteric CH4 contributes significantly to global …

Increasingly countries are seeking to reduce emission of greenhouse gases from the
agricultural industries, and livestock production in particular, as part of their climate change …

Nitrate may lower methane production in ruminants by competing with methanogenesis for
available hydrogen in the rumen. This study evaluated the effect of 4 levels of dietary nitrate …

The digestive physiology of ruminants is sufficiently different (eg, with respect to mean
retention time of digesta, digestibility of the feed offered, digestion, and fermentation …

The objective of this study was to test the effect of linseed oil and nitrate fed alone or in
combination on methane (CH4) emissions and diet digestibility in cows. The experiment was …

Ruminal methane production is among the main targets for greenhouse gas (GHG)
mitigation for the animal agriculture industry. Many compounds have been evaluated for …

Nitrate and certain short chain nitrocompounds and nitro-oxy compounds are being
investigated as dietary supplements to reduce economic and environmental costs …

This study investigated the long-term effects (13 months) of encapsulated nitrate
supplementation (ENS) on enteric methane emissions, rumen fermentation parameters …

A decrease in methanogenesis is expected to improve ruminant performance by allocating
rumen metabolic hydrogen ([2H]) to more energy-rendering fermentation pathways for the …
