Extract

Researches worldwide have been studying ruminal methane production in vitro and the in vitro gas production technique has demonstrated an ability to predict the in vivo enteric methane production from ruminants (Getachew et al., 2005; Tavendale et al., 2005). Studies of rumen microbial ecology in animals fed with tannin rich plants have demonstrated that tannins can affect rumen ecology. The objective of this study was to measure methane (CH4) production of Brazilian tannin rich plants incubated in vitro.
