Nitrate supplementation in cattle reduces ruminal methane emissions
The results show that nitrate supplementation reduces, in a dose-dependent manner, the production and emission of ruminal methane in dairy cows.

Sources of non-protein nitrogen (NPN) such as urea or nitrate are attractive to include in the diet of ruminants because of their low cost relative to vegetable protein.
