Methane mitigation and ruminal fermentation changes in cows fed cottonseed and vitamin E

ABSTRACT: Inherently, ruminant production of methane (CH4), a greenhouse gas (GHG), causes animal energy losses. Cottonseed is a lipid source and is used sometimes to enhance energy density in cattle diets. It also can mitigate enteric CH4. Lipids release peroxides in the rumen, and antioxidants hav...
