Dietary wheat and reduced methane yield are linked to rumen microbiome changes in dairy cows.

Dietary wheat and reduced methane yield are linked to rumen microbiome changes in dairy cows.

Fermentation of pasture grasses and grains in the rumen of dairy cows and other ruminants produces methane as a by-product, wasting energy and contributing to the atmospheric load of greenhouse gasses.
