KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Day 1 : Animal Gut & Nutrition Summit:
BALANCING FORMATE AND HYDROGEN PRODUCTION AND UTILIZATION IN THE RUMEN: KEY TO MITIGATING ENTERIC METHANE PRODUCTION AND EMISSIONS
Case study
- Methane emissions account for 40% to 45% of greenhouse gas emissions from ruminant livestock with over 90% of these emissions arising from enteric fermentation.
- Because of its relatively short half-life (ca. 12 years) of atmospheric methane and its warming potential (28 times that of CO2) it is imperative that we reduce both CH4 (and N2O) emissions from livestock production.
- Molecular hydrogen (H2) and formate (HCOO−) are metabolic end-products in the rumen and serve as
electron sinks in this anaerobic fermentation system. - Consequently, methanogens and possibly homoacetogens and other fermentative bacteria play a key role in maintaining metabolic efficiency in the system.
- Methanogenesis is the main pathway for the disposal of H2 in the rumen. CH4 formation is predicted to account for 2/3rds of the electrons generated with approximately 20% of rumen CH4 produced from formate.
- Propionate and butyrate account for ca 1/3rd of electrons generated during rumen fermentation. Succinate, lactate, and ethanol are minor since they do not accumulate in significant quantities.
- Thus, ruminant methane mitigation strategies need to understand and account for the fate of H2 and formate in the rumen ecosystem under methane-inhibited conditions.
