Short- and long-term dietary supplementation as well as withdrawal of the enteric methane inhibitor 3-nitrooxypropanol reveal distinct effects on the rumen microbial community
Both ST and LT supplementation affected overall rumen microbial profile, with individual microbial groups responded to 3-NOP supplementation differently. After 3-NOP withdrawal, not all microbes showed recovery, indicating that the 3-NOP driven shifts were only partially reversible. These findings provide an understanding of the effects of 3-NOP on rumen microbial communities and their adaptability to methane mitigation strategies.
