Reduction of enteric methane emission using methanotroph-based probiotics in Hanwoo steers
Feeding methanotroph-methylotroph consortium NC52PC significantly reduced methane emissions in Korean beef cattle without any adverse effects on animal health. These findings suggest that this probiotic could serve as a promising feed additive to effectively mitigate methane emissions from ruminants. However, further research is needed to evaluate the long-term effects of NC52PC on animal health, and on meat and milk quality.
