Saponin rich tropical fruits affect fermentation and methanogenesis in faunated and defaunated rumen fluid (2003, background): “However, an important constraint is suggested by the fact that there is still no simple and effective on farm defaunation method (Moss et al., 2000).”
Effect of octadeca carbon fatty acids on microbial fermentation, methanogenesis and microbial flora in vitro (2008, background): “Methane produced during anaerobic fermentation in the rumen is an energy loss to the host animal and contributes to the emissions of greenhouse gases into the environment (Moss et al., 2000).”
Effects and modes of action of live yeasts in the rumen (2006, background): “However, as a result of this process, methane is eructated by ruminants at 400 to 500 litres per day in adult cattle, and this represents a loss of carbon and energy of 8–12% of the energy available in the diet (Vermorel, 1995; Moss et al., 2000).”
Evaluation of dietary strategies to reduce methane production in ruminants: A modelling approach (2001, background): “Moss et al. (2000) reported that methane production decreases when forages are preserved in ensiled form.”
Effects of active dry yeasts on the rumen microbial ecosystem : Past, present and future (2008, background): “Daily excretion, mostly by eructation, of methane is estimated to be 400–500 L in an adult cow, representing a loss of carbon and energy of 8–12% of the net energy in the diet (Vermorel, 1995; Moss et al., 2000).”
Aspects of rumen microbiology central to mechanistic modelling of methane production in cattle (2008, background): “Propionate, on the other hand, largely produced with fermentation of non-structural carbohydrates, serves as a competitive pathway for H2 use in the rumen and is accompanied by a decrease in overall CH4 production (Hegarty 1999; Moss et al. 2000).”
In vitro screening of various tropical foliages, seeds, fruits and medicinal plants for low methane and high ammonia generating potentials in the rumen (2008, background): “of milk or meat potentially produced from this feed (Moss et al., 2000).”
Factors affecting rumen methanogens and methane mitigation strategies (2009, background): “Mitigation of methane may contribute to lowering the greenhouse effect that is a topical issue for the scientific community (Johnson and Johnson 1995; Moss et al. 2000 ).”
