The impact of divergent breed types and diets on methane emissions, rumen characteristics and performance of finishing beef cattle
This study was undertaken to further develop our understanding of the links between breed, diet and the rumen microbial community and determine their effect on production characteristics and methane (CH4) emissions from beef cattle. The experiment was of a 2×2 factorial design, comprising two breeds...
