The rumen microbiome inhibits methane formation through dietary choline supplementation
Abstract Enteric fermentation from ruminants is a primary source of anthropogenic methane emission. This study aims to add another approach for methane mitigation by manipulation of the rumen microbiome. Effects of choline supplementation on methane formation were quantified in vitro using the Rumen...

Abstract Enteric fermentation from ruminants is a primary source of anthropogenic methane emission.
