Virtual screening and in vitro validation of methane inhibitor – Fraxin
The production of methane (CH4) poses a major challenge to both livestock and the environment, in particular contributing to the greenhouse effect, so reducing CH4 emissions is urgent. In this study, methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) was used as a target to screen natural product libraries, identify potential natural CH4 inhibitors, and then verify their inhibitory effects on MCR and decreased in vitro CH4. The results showed that fraxin and MCR scored well. In the follow-up verification, fraxin showed significant inhibitory activity on MCR, significantly decreased in vitro CH4 production (P = 0.010), and significantly increased DMD (P = 0.049). The inhibition effect of 1 mg/gDM was the best, and the inhibition rate was 10.85 %. In this study, we found that fraxin can be used as a new feed additive that can inhibit CH4.
期刊介绍:
Animal Feed Science and Technology is a unique journal publishing scientific papers of international interest focusing on animal feeds and their feeding.
Papers describing research on feed for ruminants and non-ruminants, including poultry, horses, companion animals and aquatic animals, are welcome.
The journal covers the following areas:
Nutritive value of feeds (e.g., assessment, improvement)
Methods of conserving and processing feeds that affect their nutritional value
Agronomic and climatic factors influencing the nutritive value of feeds
Utilization of feeds and the improvement of such
Metabolic, production, reproduction and health responses, as well as potential environmental impacts, of diet inputs and feed technologies (e.g., feeds, feed additives, feed components, mycotoxins)
Mathematical models relating directly to animal-feed interactions
Analytical and experimental methods for feed evaluation
Environmental impacts of feed technologies in animal production.
