Dietary nitrate and presence of protozoa increase nitrate and nitrite reduction in the rumen of sheep

Nitrate (NO−3) supplementation is an effective methane (CH4) mitigation strategy for ruminants but may produce nitrite (NO−2) toxicity. It has been reported that rumen protozoa have greater ability for NO−3 and NO−2 reduction than bacteria. It was hypothesised that the absence of ruminal protozoa i...
