This study swaps rumen contents between low- and high-methane-yielding cows and finds that methane production remains tied to the host, not the microbiome, with asymmetric microbiome reconstitution observed.

The paper identifies functional differences in the rumen microbiome of lactating cows with varying methane intensity, linking specific metabolic pathways to methane production efficiency.
