Approaches to modulate buffalo gut microbiome for efficient feed utilization and reduced environmental pollution by Vijit Dey, Puran C. Lailer, Tirtha K. Datta

“… Buffaloes are excellent converters of highly fibrous feeds into edible products like milk and meat due to the rumen microbiome structure and their functionality. About 37– 44% of global methane emissions, mainly due to enteric fermentation of feeds by fibrolytic bacteria and formation of methane by methanogenic archaea, present in the rumen, is contributed by ruminants and a major source of methane production in the agriculture sector. …”
