ProceedingsItem Open Access Effect of nitrate and nitrate reducing bacteria on methane production in growing Murrah buffaloes(2013-06) Sakthivel, PC; Kamra, DN; Agarwal, N, et al.; TANUVASPresently, India possesses 57% of world’s buffalo and 16% of cattle population. Contribution of methane emission by Indian buffaloes is 42% (Chhabra et al., 2009). The addition of altemate electron acceptors to the rumen seems to be a logical mean of reducing methane emission, So the aim of the present study was to assess the effect of nitrate on methane production in growing Murrah buffaloes.
