Advancing methane mitigation in ruminants through feed additive combinations: efficacy, interactions, and implementation challenges
studies often show promising results, validation of combinations of feed additives in large-scale production systems is lacking. The complexity of hydrogen metabolism and microbial adaptation underscores the need for more integrated research efforts. Optimizing additive combinations that not only reduce CH₄ but also support animal productivity is essential for developing sustainable, climate-smart livestock systems.
