Eucalyptus reduces methane in dairy calves

Mitigating methane production is still a major concern in dairy production. Researchers are turning to sustainable and environmentally friendly strategies. The leaf extract of Corymbia citriodora (Eucalyptus) has emerged to be of high efficacy in reducing methane production in dairy calves. During microbial degradation of feed in the rumen, considerable amounts of energy and nitrogen are lost in the form of methane. Methane is a greenhouse gas with significant potential for increasing global wa
