Abstract

Methane (CH4) originating from enteric fermentation in ruminants, especially in cattle, is both an important greenhouse gas and causes a 12% loss in adult gross energy. Therefore, cost-effective strategies are needed to reduce metagenesis in the ruminant production system. Recent studies have shown that the chemically synthesized compound 3-Nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP) has the potential to reduce enteric CH4 production by up to 30%. Asparagopsis taxiformis has proven to be a potent enteric CH4 inhibitor without affecting milk yield or nutrient utilization. However, there are some concerns that feeding seaweed to ruminants may lead to a spike in milk and/or meat bromoform content with potential implications for consumer health. The purpose of this review is to examine the general findings of in vivo and in vitro studies showing the efficacy of 3-NOP and red macroalgae.

Sığırlarda Enterik Metan Emisyonlarının Azaltılmasında Makroalg ve 3-Nitrooksipropanol’un Etkinliği

Abstract

Ruminantlarda özellikle sığırlarda enterik fermantasyondan kaynaklanan metan (CH4), hem öneli bir sera gazıdır ve hem de yein brüt enerjisinde %12 bir kayba neden olur. Bu nedenle, ruminant üretim sisteminde metajenezi azaltmak için uygun maliyetli stratejilere ihtiyaç vardır. Son çalışmalar, kimyasal olarak sentezlenen bileşik 3-Nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP), enterik CH4 üretimini %30'a kadar azaltma potansiyeline sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Asparagopsis taxiformis’in, süt verimini veya besin madde kullanımını etkilemeksizin güçlü bir enterik CH4 inhibitörü olduğu kanıtlanmıştır. Bununla birlikte, deniz yosununun geviş getiren hayvanlara verilmesinin, süt ve/veya et bromoform içeriğinde tüketici sağlığı üzerinde potansiyel etkileri olan bir artışa yol açabileceğine dair bazı endişeler vardır. Bu derlemenin amacı, 3-NOP ve kırmızı makroalglerin etkinlik durumlarını gösteren in vivo ve in vito çalışmaların genel bulgularını incelemektir.
