The red macroalgae Asparagopsis taxiformis is a potent natural antimethanogenic that reduces methane production during in vitro fermentation with rumen fluid (2016, background): “In previous in vivo experiments investigating enteric CH 4 abatement, BCM induced abatement in Brahman steers of 93% and 50% after separate 28 and 90 days feeding regimes, respectively (Tomkins et al .”
Special topics--Mitigation of methane and nitrous oxide emissions from animal operations: I. A review of enteric methane mitigation options. (2013, unknown): “…some studies have suggested adaptation of the rumen ecosystem to this class of compounds (Johnson et al., 1972; Immig et al., 1996), thus reducing their long-term efficacy, the effect of BCM appeared to persist in the studies by Sawyer et al. (1974), Tomkins et al. (2009), and Abecia et al. (2012).”
Interactions between microbial consortia in biofilms: a paradigm shift in rumen microbial ecology and enteric methane mitigation (2014, background): “However, the effect of BCM appeared to be persistent (Sawyer et al. 1974; Tomkins et al. 2009; Abecia et al. 2012).”
