Given the global emphasis on reducing enteric methane (CH4) emissions by the livestock sector, several mitigation strategies are being studied. In Brazil, much animal production takes place extensively on pastures, often with some level of degradation and high CH4 emissions. Thus, the need to mitigate these emissions is essential to ensure the sustainability of pasture-based cattle produc…
The use of additives as a ruminal manipulation strategy is widely used in Brazil and in the world in order to promote gains in production, improve zootechnical indices and, consequently, intensify production. Secondary plant compounds such as saponins, tannins, and essential oils have been studied as potential alternatives to the use of conventional antibiotics as growth promoters in rumi…
Brazil occupies a prominent position in livestock production, however, the significant contribution of ruminants to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with a potential effect on climate change have been widely discussed. Despite the valuable ability of the fermentation, the process to transform fibrous foods into high-quality products such as meat and milk, the emission of enteric methane (CH…
Brazil is a country dependent on the wealth generated by agribusiness, and the production of ruminants is one of the pillars of this chain. However, as is well known, this sector generates a significant amount of pollutant gases, mainly coming from the emission of enteric gases. From this, a great concern has arisen over the sector, since countries that do not reduce the emission of pollu…

Methane (CH4) is a relevant greenhouse gas and in farming comes mainly from enteric fermentation. Although in absolute numbers much smaller than that of cattle, year after year, the sheep herds show growth, which becomes worrisome, as it contributes to the increase in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and contributes to climate change. The growth of the world population and t…
The present work aims to quantify and classify the protozoan populations in the rumen of Nellore steers, submitted to different levels of pasture intensification and, accordingly, to evaluate the levels that have the greatest potential to minimize the emission of greenhouse gases in the systems of animal production. The animals will be randomized under the procedures: 1) degraded pasture …
The Brazilian sheep production showed significant growth between the years 2008 and 2018, the effective herd increased by 12.7% reaching more than 18.9 million animals in 2018. Despite this, like most sectors belonging to the agricultural sector, there are cost management problems as well as environmental impact. However, based on society's demand and supply, the Neoclassical Economic The…

The objective of this study will be to evaluate the inclusion of the Yerba-mate extract and their effects on fermentation, degradability of the diet and microbial populations in the dual-flow continuous culture system. The experiment will be conducted in the Faciola's Lab at the Department of Animal Science, University of Florida with 8 fermenters, each fermenter unit will be randomly ass…
The objective of this proposal is to evaluate the effect of propanediol mononitrate (PDMN) inclusion in the diet of dairy cows on dry matter and nutrient intake, milk production and composition. The experiment will be conducted in the tie-stall barn of Penn State's Dairy Center with 12 cows at various lactation stages; between 60 and 120 days in milk. Cows will be simultaneously receiving…
