PS3-8. Effects of Oxygenated Drinking Water on Feed and Water Intake, Gas Flux, Microbial Communities, Digestibility, and Ruminal Fermentation in Beef Steers and Cows on a Forage-based Diet.
Enteric methane (CH4) emissions from beef cattle contribute substantially to agricultural greenhouse gas production. Infusing oxygen in the anaerobic environment of the rumen could alter ruminal oxidation-reduction potential and potentially reduce methanogenesis. This study utilized nanobubble technology (Moleaer, Ha...
