Mitigating enteric methane emissions: An overview of methanogenesis, inhibitors and future prospects.

ABSTRACT: Enteric methane emissions account for approximately 17% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and represent 2% to 12% of energy losses from energy intake in ruminants. To reduce these emissions and accelerate the achievement of carbon neutrality, it is critical to understand the factors driving methanogenesis in the rumen and develop effective methane mitigation strategies. Methanogenesis inhibitors, when used in conjunction with nutritional and breeding management strategies, are widely regarded as effective additives for optimizing rumen function, enhancing nutrient utilization and reducing enteric methane emissions. The field of inhibitor development is evolving rapidly under increasing mitigation pressure, necessitating continual review to guide the understanding of their me
