(2013, neutral): “The model of Janssen (2010) proposes a dynamic interaction between dissolved hydrogen, passage rate, propionate production, and the growth and activity of methanogens in the rumen.”
Methane yields from Brahman cattle fed tropical grasses and legumes (2012, background): “Patterns of digestion of fibrous tropical plants by cattle, characterised by high ratios of acetic : propionic acid and low efficiencies of microbial growth in the rumen, are consistent with diversion of H generated from fermentation towards methane as a terminal H acceptor (see Demeyer 1991; Jansse”
