Potential of Molecular Weight and Structure of Tannins to Reduce Methane Emissions from Ruminants: A Review
There is a need to reduce enteric methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) to ensure the environmental sustainability of ruminant production systems. Tannins are naturally found in both tropical and temperate plants, and have been shown to consistently decrease urinary nitrogen (N) excretion when consum...
