The present invention relates to a method for reducing the production of methane emanating from the digestive activities of a ruminant and/or for improving ruminant animal performance by using, as active compound at least one organic molecule substituted at any position with at least one nitrooxy group, or a salt thereof, which is administrated to the animal together with the feed. The invention also relates to the use of these compounds in feed and feed additives such as premix, concentrates and total mixed ration (TMR) or in the form of a bolus.
The present invention relates to the use of specific nitrooxy compounds as methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) inhibitor, in particular for inhibiting the methane production in Methanothermobacter wolfeii, Methanobrevibacter smithii, Methanobrevibacter millerae, Methanobacterium bryantii, as well as Methanosphaera stadtmanae.

The present invention relates to the field of reduction of methane emission in ruminants. Particularly, it relates to the use of a feed composition or a feed additive comprising at least one antibiotic and at least one organic molecule substituted at any position with at least one nitrooxy group for reducing the production of methane emanating from the digestive activities of ruminants, and/or to improve the ruminant performance.
