Nitrate decreases methane production also by increasing methane oxidation through stimulating NC10 population in ruminal culture
Abstract Studies proved that addition of nitrate in rumen could lead to reduction of methane emission. The mechanism of this function was involved in the competition effect of nitrate on hydrogen consumption and the inhibitory effect of generated nitrite on methanogen proliferation. The present stud...
