Assessment of some browse tree leaves on gas production and sustainable mitigation of CH4 and CO2 emissions in dairy calves at different age

The present context was aimed to determine the in vitro gas production (GP), mitigation of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, and ruminal fermentation from nine different tree leaves as suitable alternatives for alfalfa hay. Tree leaves and alfalfa hay were incubated with rumen inoculu...

Description
Summary:The present context was aimed to determine the in vitro gas production (GP), mitigation of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, and ruminal fermentation from nine different tree leaves as suitable alternatives for alfalfa hay. Tree leaves and alfalfa hay were incubated with rumen inoculum from calves at different ages (20, 40, and 60 d). The level of asymptomatic GP [mL/g dry matter (DM)] differed (P
