Saponin rich tropical fruits affect fermentation and methanogenesis in faunated and defaunated rumen fluid (2003, methodology): “Concentrations of volatile fatty acids (VFA) were measured using gas chromatography (GC Star 3400 CX, Varian, Sugarland, TX, USA) according toTangerman and Nagengast (1996) .”
In vitro screening of the potential of numerous plant species as antimethanogenic feed additives for ruminants (2008, background): “Lack of effects on substrate degradation in response to some plant extracts that have reduced methane production has also been reported (Śliwiński et al., 2002).”
Potential of phytofactors to mitigate rumen ammonia and methane production. (2010, background): “…schidigera, Sapindus saponaria, Frangula alnus, Sapindus rarak, indicate a possibility of the effect of these compounds on the process of methanogenesis in the rumen (Ningrat et al., 2002; Śliwiński et al., 2002a; Hess et al., 2003, 2004; García-González et al., 2008, 2010; Wang et al., 2009).”
Effect of plant extracts on in vitro methanogenesis, enzyme activities and fermentation of feed in rumen liquor of buffalo (2006, background): “The tropical plants containing saponins have been found to suppress or eliminate protozoa from the rumen and reduce methane and ammonia production (Kamra et al., 2000; Sliwinski et al., 2002; Lila et al., 2003).”
