Ruminants on low quality feed possibly produce over 75% of the methane from the world's population of ruminants. The supplementation to improve efficiency of feed utilization and increase product output may reduce methane production per unit of productions. Other additional strategies are available including improving diet quality, eliminating nutrient deficiencies, using growth promotants, appropriate genotypes, the increased use of ionophores that will reduce total feed fermented and decreased methane per unit of product. Environment-friendly development of livestock production systems demands that the increased production be met by increased efficiency of production. The stoichiometry ofrumen fermentation has indicated an important approach to help ameliorate the greenhouse effect, that is, lowering of entric methane production per unit of feed intake or per unit of animal products from ruminants by strategic supplementation.
