Dietary tannins can affect rumen microbiota and enteric fermentation to mitigate methane emissions, although such effects have not yet been fully elucidated. We tested two subunits of hydrolyzable tannins named gallic acid (GA) and ellagic acid (EA), alone (75 mg/g DM each) or combined (150 mg/g DM in total), using the Rusitec system. EA and EA+GA treatments decreased methane production, volatile fatty acids, nutrient degradation, relative abundance of , , but increased .
