Influence of Oregano Essential Oil on the Rumen Microbiome of Organically Reared Alpine Goats: Implications for Methanobacteria Abundance

Influence of Oregano Essential Oil on the Rumen Microbiome of Organically Reared Alpine Goats: Implications for Methanobacteria Abundance

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with organic oregano (<i>Origanum vulgare</i>) essential oil (OEO) on the rumen microbial population, with a focus on methanogenic archaea, in lactating dairy goats. A total of nine age-matched goats (mean body we...
