Many strategies are currently explored within the dairy sector to reduce enteric methane (CH4<\/sub>) from the rumen by adding CH4 reducing compounds to the ration and by applying adaptations to the ration. However, it is not clear how effects of different CH4<\/sub> reducing strategies differ under different circumstances.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Different circumstances include interactions with different types of rations, e.g. a grass silage based ration or a corn silage based ration. Furthermore, different circumstances also include rumen health status. Subclinical acidosis (SARA) is a condition which can occur in dairy cows. Although it is known that animals which have a lowered average rumen pH also produce less CH4<\/sub>, it remains unclear how different CH4<\/sub> reducing feeding strategies interact with these different states of rumen health status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next to effects of CH4<\/sub> reducing strategies in different circumstances, there is also still a gap of knowledge in how individual animal characteristics are related to enteric CH4<\/sub> production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PPS RuMeHealth is a collaboration between the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality and a consortium of different partners from the agricultural feed sector. The goals within this project are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
