Article Synopsis
- Ruminants are important for food security, but there are concerns about their environmental impact, especially related to greenhouse gases from cattle, prompting this study on humic substances (HS).
- The study involved Angus × Hereford heifers fed a barley silage-based diet with varying levels of HS to analyze effects on nutrient digestibility, methane emissions, and rumen microbiome.
- Results showed HS improved nitrogen retention and crude protein digestibility, but did not significantly affect methane production, while altering the composition of the rumen microbiome.
