This study investigates how Asparagopsis supplementation affects rumen microbiota, finding reduced methane production and changes in microbial gene expression and function.

The paper expands the global RNA virome by five-fold, identifying new clades of RNA bacteriophages and revealing novel virus-host interactions.

Supplementing beef steer diets with 0.25% or 0.5% Asparagopsis taxiformis for 147 days reduces enteric methane yield by up to 80% and improves feed efficiency without altering meat quality.

This study evaluates two Pacific Coast macroalgae for their ability to reduce methane emissions from ruminants in vitro, finding A. taxiformis significantly more effective than Z. farlowii.

This study evaluates the effect of Asparagopsis taxiformis on methane production and rumen microbiome in dairy cattle, finding a 95% reduction in methane with no negative impact on fermentation parameters.
