Abstract
The effects of two kinds ofEscherichia coli(E. coli) strain, wild-typeE. coliW3110 andE. colinir-Ptac, which has enhanced NO2reduction activity, on oral CH4emission and NO3toxicity in NO3-treated sheep were assessed in a respiratory hood system in a 4×6 Youden square design. NO3(1·3g NaNO3/kg0·75body weight) and/orE. colistrains were delivered into the rumen through a fistula as a single dose 30min after the morning meal.Escherichia colicells were inoculated for sheep to provide an initialE. colicell density of optical density at 660nm of 2, which corresponded to 2×1010cells/ml. The six treatments consisted of saline,E. coliW3110,E. colinir-Ptac, NO3, NO3plusE. coliW3110, and NO3plusE. colinir-Ptac. CH4emission from sheep was reduced by the inoculation ofE. coliW3110 orE. colinir-Ptac by 6% and 12%, respectively. NO3markedly inhibited CH4emission from sheep. Compared with sheep given NO3alone, the inoculation ofE. coliW3110 to NO3-infused sheep lessened ruminal and plasma toxic NO2accumulation and blood methaemoglobin production, while keeping ruminal methanogenesis low. Ruminal and plasma toxic NO2accumulation and blood methaemoglobin production in sheep were unaffected by the inoculation ofE. colinir-Ptac. These results suggest that ruminal methanogenesis may be reduced by the inoculation ofE. coliW3110 orE. colinir-Ptac. The inoculation ofE. coliW3110 may abate NO3toxicity when NO3is used to inhibit CH4emission from ruminants.
