Balancing rumen available protein to microbial crude protein ratios reduced cumulative ammonia and sulfur dioxide gas emissions without impairing steer growth performance.
Steers fed excess protein emitted 52% more ammonia and 44% more sulfur dioxide than protein-deficient cattle, while balanced diets decreased methane production by up to 20%.
A randomized incomplete block design assessed 112 Black Angus steers in pen enclosures over two 42-day periods, demonstrating viable dietary strategies to curb feedlot air pollution.
