AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies have not effectively addressed the issue of methane production in ruminants, which contributes to global warming and energy loss, while maintaining the production of total short-chain fatty acids in the rumen.

Method used

A composition comprising Pongamia pinnata seed oil, used as an active ingredient in a feed composition for ruminants, reduces methane production while maintaining the production of total short-chain fatty acids.

Benefits of technology

The composition effectively reduces methane production in the rumen of ruminants, particularly in cattle, while maintaining the production of total short-chain fatty acids, thus improving feed efficiency and reducing environmental impact.

Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of suppressing production of methane by ruminants. Provided is a composition for reducing production of methane in the rumen of a ruminant, the composition comprising a Pongamia pinnata seed oil. Also provided is a ruminant feed composition comprising 0.1-10% of a Pongamia pinnata seed oil. The Pongamia pinnata seed oil may be contained as refined oil, crude oil, or a degummed deacidified product of crude oil of Pongamia pinnata seeds.
