Article Synopsis
- Biochar is being studied as a supplement for ruminants to potentially reduce methane emissions from digestion, but results vary based on the type, source, and administration methods of the biochar.
- Two experiments were conducted: the first involved 12 steers fed different biochar doses along with molasses to measure methane emissions and analyze rumen microbes over 56 days.
- The second experiment involved 45 heifers grazing together on biochar, also mixed with molasses, for 60 days to assess its impact on productivity and methane emissions under natural grazing conditions.
