Abstract :
Ruminant animals play an important role in the food chain for evaluate cellulose and non-protein nitrogenous (NPN) compounds absorbed partially or not by other farm animals and humans. However, ruminant animals also bring some disadvantages. Methane, produced as a natural consequence of the ruminal digestion and it is a potent green house gas, is a problem, both ecologically and economically. The aim of this paper is to discuss methods used to reduce the production of methane in ruminants.
