Full TextAbstract
Methane produced during ruminal fermentation represents a loss of 2–12% of the gross energy consumed by ruminants, and it is also a greenhouse gas that has been implicated as a contributor to the global warming (Johnson and Johnson, 1995). Thus, much research has been carried out on manipulation of the rumen fermentation to inhibit rumen methanogenesis with a view to increase energetic efficiency. The present experiment was conducted to determine the effects of diets containing different non-fibre carbohydrates (NFC, sucrose or starch) on rumen methanogenesis bacteria and protozoa populations in Holstein steers by real time PCR.
