Two Different Bacterial Community Types Are Linked with the Low-Methane Emission Trait in Sheep

The potent greenhouse gas methane (CH(4)) is produced in the rumens of ruminant animals from hydrogen produced during microbial degradation of ingested feed. The natural animal-to-animal variation in the amount of CH(4) emitted and the heritability of this trait offer a means for reducing CH(4) emis...
