چکیده مقاله:

The aim of this study was to use meta-analysis to identify the enteric methane (CH4) mitigation strategy that reduced CH4 emission without lowering production. To this end, a database initially developed was updated, compiling data from 61 publications (233 experiments) for various observations in dairy cattle on effects of hydrogen sink (H-sink), ionophore, lipid and concentrate feeds inclusion on enteric CH4 production, milk production and milk composition from dairy cattle. There was no significant effect (P>0.05) of H-sink and ionophore feeds inclusion on CH4 production while supplementation of lipid and concentrate considerably suppressed CH4 production (P<0.05). CH4 production per kg milk produced was not depressed with H-sink treatment (P<0.05). Lipids lightly increased CH4 production per kg milk from 26.19 g kg−1 for control to 29.12 g kg−1 for treatment (P>0.05), while concentrate and ionophore feeds inclusion decreased CH4 production per kg milk with no significant effect (P>0.05). There was a significant effect of concentrate on milk protein and milk yield, which increased from 23.27 kg d−1 for control to 26.52 kg d−1 for concentrate treated diet (P<0.05). Milk yield and milk protein was not significantly affected with H-sink, ionophore and lipid feeds inclusion (P>0.05). This meta-analysis demonstrates that lipid and concentrate feeds inclusion reduced CH4 emissions from dairy cattle without lowering their production.

Methanogens: Methane Producers of the Rumen and Mitigation Strategies

Methanogens are the only known microorganisms capable of methane production, making them of interest when investigating methane abatement strategies. A number of experiments have been conducted to study the methanogen population in the rumen of cattle and sheep, as well as the relationship that methanogens have with other microorganisms. The rumen methanogen species differ depending on diet and...

Dietary Strategies for Mitigation of Methane Production by Growing and Finishing Cattle

Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of diet and monensin on performance, digestibility, and methane production in steers fed forage-based diets. In Exp. 1, 72 individually fed steers (300 ± 25 kg) were used in a randomized block design arranged as 2 separate 2 × 2 factorials with two common treatments, thus 6 diets were fed with 12 steers per treatment. Factors included hig...

Blast Mitigation Analysis of Semi-Buried Structure

Semi-buried structures are most commonly used at first line of defense along the border between two countries. This demands investigation of their dynamic behaviour under blast loading. Herein, a semi-buried structure with foam sandwiched walls and buttresses to reduce the effect of blast is analysed. The effect of provision of different configurations of buttresses and foam core between two la...
