Application of propionate-producing bacterial consortium in ruminal methanogenesis inhibited environment with bromoethanesulfonate as a methanogen direct inhibitor.

ABSTRACT: Methane production in ruminants is primarily due to the conversion of metabolic hydrogen (H₂), produced during anaerobic microbial fermentation, into methane by ruminal methanogens. While this process plays a crucial role in efficiently disposes of H₂, it also contributes to environmental pollution and eliminating methane production in the rumen has proven to be challenging. This study investigates the use of probiotics, specifically propionate-producing bacteria, to redirect accumulated H₂ in a methane-mitigated environment. For this objective, we supplemented experimental groups with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Megasphaera elsdenii for the reinforced acrylate pathway (RA) and Selenomonas ruminantium and Acidipropionibacterium
