Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by van Cleef et al comparing the effects of high inclusions of crude glycerin in diets for feedlot sheep on enteric methane (CH4) production. The inclusion of high concentrations of crude glycerin in feedlot diets for lambs does not alter in vitro gas production but linearly increases methane concentrations and linearly decreases terminal pH.
