Rice cultivation and ruminants are the top two sources of methane (CH 4 ), a potent greenhouse gas, in agriculture. The supplementation of ruminants with cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), a by-product of the cashew nut industry, can reduce CH 4 production through alteration of the rumen microbiota. To...
