“…The inhibitory activities of flavonoids used in this experiment toward methanogenesis were in the following descending order as follows: myricetin ≥ kaempferol ≥ flavone > quercetin ≥ naringin > rutin ≥ catechin ( 115 ). Catechin decreased CH 4 production both in vitro ( 116 ) and in vivo ( 117 ). Catechin causes direct inhibition of methanogens ( 115 ) as well as may act as hydrogen sinks during degradation by rumen microbes via cleavage of ring structures and reductive dehydroxylation reactions ( 116 ).…”

“…Becker et al (2014) reported an abatement of methane production in an in vitro rumen fluid environment that occurs linearly with the addition of flavan-3-ol catechin. In this experiment, as many as six hydrogen atoms per catechin molecule were captured by catechin-degradation products and CH 4 production was reduced at a rate of 1.2 mol CH 4 per mol catechin.…”

“…In recent years, essential oils ( Benchaar, 2007 ), plant secondary metabolites such as condensed tannins and saponins ( Pen et al, 2006 ; Bhatta et al, 2009 ) and dietary lipids ( Dohme et al, 2001 ) have arisen as attractive rumen modifiers to improve rumen microbial metabolism as well as inhibit methane production in ruminants. The positive effects of flavonoid-rich plant extracts (PE) on methane emission and methanogens population in vitro as well as in vivo have been examined ( Patra et al, 2006 ; Bodas et al, 2008 ; Patra and Saxena, 2010 ; Oskoueian et al, 2013 ; Becker et al, 2014 ). In addition, flavonoid supplementation could improve ruminal fermentation of dairy cows with increasing milk yield ( Theodorou et al, 1994 ), protecting ruminal acidosis ( Balcells et al, 2012 ), reducing methane emission and changing microbial populations such as protozoa and methanogen ( Baker, 1999 ).…”
