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…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential for methanogenesis of dairy cattle (Bos taurus taurus), beef cattle (Bos taurus indicus), buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), sheep (Ovis aries) and goats (Capra hircus) fed similar diets. Moreover, it is intended to: i. assess, using the in vitro gas production technique, the rumen fermentation efficiency of the different ruminant species; ii. ch…

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…
In Brazil, lamb farming for the meat has grown steadily over the years, this activity is extremely important, since animals can adapt very well in different edaphoclimatic conditions, and our country, due to the conditions, has a huge chance to reach among the the main sheep-producing countries. Ruminants as a whole are animals that produce significant amounts of greenhouse gases through …

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…
