• Dynamics of the ruminal microbial ecosystem, and inhibition of methanogenesis and propiogenesis in response to nitrate feeding to Holstein calves 

      Ortiz Chura, Abimael; Gere, José; Marcoppido, Gisela Ariana; Depetris, Gustavo; Cravero, Silvio Lorenzo Pedro; Faverin, Claudia; Pinares-Patiño, Cesar; Cataldi, Angel Adrian; Ceron Cucchi, Maria Esperanza (Elsevier, 2021-12)
      It is known that nitrate inhibits ruminal methanogenesis, mainly through competition with hydrogenotrophic methanogens for available hydrogen (H2) and also through toxic effects on the methanogens. However, there is limited ...
    • Enteric methane emission from Sheep fed with rhodes grass hay (Chloris gayana) alone or supplemented with dried distillers’ grains with solubles 

      Gere, José; Feksa Frasson, Mónica; Wawrzkiewicz, Marisa; Fernández Pepi, María Gabriela; Ramos, María Laura; Bualo, Ricardo Alberto; Ceron Cucchi, Maria Esperanza; Jaurena, Gustavo (MDPI, 2022-09)
      Livestock systems based on subtropical and tropical pastures are characterized by the low productivity of livestock due to the poor nutritional value of the forage (low nitrogen concentration and digestibility, and high ...
    • Improving the accuracy of beef cattle methane inventories in Latin America and Caribbean countries

(Elsevier, 2023-01)
      On-farm methane (CH4) emissions need to be estimated accurately so that the mitigation effect of recommended practices can be accounted for. In the present study prediction equations for enteric CH4 have been developed in ...
    • On the use of the SF6 gas tracer technique in Latin America for measuring methane emissions in ruminants : a review and analysis 

      Loza, Cecilia; Ceron Cucchi, Maria Esperanza; Cabezas-Garcia, Edward Hernando; Ortiz Chura, Abimael; Gualdrón-Duarte, Laura; Gere, Jose Ignacio (Taylor and Francis, 2024)
      The SF6 gas tracer technique is extensively used to measure enteric CH4 emissions for scientific research in Latin-American countries. Although guidelines on how to properly implement this technique have been published, ...
