Dietary supplementation of composite feed additive reduces enteric methane production and enhances feed efficiency, milk production and immunity in Murrah buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) by Avijit Dey, Shyam S. Paul, Satbir S. Dahiya, Ashok K. Balhara, Jerome Andonissamy, Balbir S. Punia, Yendrembam M. Chanu

“…Supplementation of RESMI (@ 2.5% of feed intake.) was found to reduce methane emission (p<0.05) by reducing the number of methanogenic archaea in the rumen and promoting the growth of alternate hydrogen utilizers like sulfate-reducing bacteria. The feed additive stimulated the rumen ecosystem by increasing microbial fibrolytic activity. …”
