Feedlot finisher diet composition affects inhibition of methane by 3-nitrooxypropanol

Research output: Contribution to conference › Abstract › peer-review

Abstract

3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP) is highly efficacious at inhibiting methane (CH4) emissions from cattle fed feedlot finisher diets typical of Australian production systems (based on white grains (wheat or barley) and including monensin), with inclusion of 100 mg 3-NOP/kg DM in a diet containing 81% barley, 2.4% oil and 25 ppm monensin reducing both CH4 production and yield by 87 % (Almeida et al. 2023). This experiment sought to validate that result in 3 commercial feedlot finisher diets, also based on wheat or barley, including 25 ppm monensin and 100 mg 3-NOP/kg DM.
