Effect of the macroalgae Asparagopsis taxiformis on methane production and rumen microbiome assemblage

Abstract Background Recent studies using batch-fermentation suggest that the red macroalgae Asparagopsis taxiformis has the potential to reduce methane (CH4) production from beef cattle by up to ~ 99% when added to Rhodes grass hay; a common feed in the Australian beef industry. These experiments ha...
