| Abstract |
As a new type of methane control agent, natural plant extract has been widely studied in recent years, but in vivo studies are few. This study was to investigate the effects of the dietary supplementation of 2 different polyphenols on the methane (CH4) emission and digestion metabolism in sheep. Ten healthy crossbred sheep (Dorper ♂ × small-tailed Han ♀; BW 60.0 ± 1.73 kg) were used in a change-over design. The sheep were fed the following 3 diets in the present study: the basal diet (CON) with no supplementation; the basal diet supplemented with 2 g mulberry leaf flavonoid (MLF) per day per sheep; the basal diet supplemented with 0.25 g resveratrol (RES) per day per sheep. Both MLF and RES reduced CH4 emission scaled to metabolic weight per kilogram of DMI and CO2 output scaled to metabolic weight, but the effect of RES was significant (P < 0.05). Both MLF and RES significantly improved apparent digestibility of DM, OM, NDF, ADF, and nitrogen, but the effect of RES was significant (P < 0.05). Both MLF and RES significantly improved ME (P < 0.05) and reduced energy losses in CH4 emission (P > 0.05). In conclusion, MLF and RES can improve the digestibility of nutrients, the utilization of nutrients and energy, and reduce CH4 emission, but they are not conducive to nitrogen retention. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 January 2017.
All research outputs
#15,169,543
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Animal Nutrition
#94
of 373 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#202,457
of 400,004 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Animal Nutrition
#2
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 373 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 400,004 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
