BILE ACIDS IN FEED FOR REDUCING METHANE PRODUCTION EMANATING FROM THE DIGESTIVE ACTIVITIES OF RUMINANTS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for reducing the production of methane emanating from the digestive activities of a ruminant by using, as active compound deoxycholic acid and/or chenodeoxycholic acid and/or a derivative thereof, which is administrated to the animal. The invention also relates to the use of these ingredients in feed and feed additives such as premix, concentrates and total mixed ration (TMR) or in the form of a bolus.
