Enteric Fermentation
Methane produced by microbial fermentation in the digestive tract of ruminants — cattle, buffalo, sheep and goats — and released mainly by eructation. The single largest livestock source, and the one addressed by methane-inhibiting feed additives such as 3-NOP, essential oils and seaweed-derived compounds.
Also known as: Rumen Methane
