3-nitrooxypropanol Report

Introduction Sheep, cattle, goats, and some wild animals such as antelopes and their families that are predominantly known as ruminants ferment plant material in their rumen. The result of this fermentation process is the formation of propionate, CO2, acetate, butyrate, and methane (Alexander et al., 2015). The carbon dioxide and methane formed escape from the bodies of these animals into the atmosphere.3-nitrooxypropanol is believed to inhibit methanogenesis in ruminant, an action that has various applications and benefits to the environment and animals. This report will consider the need for and application of the 3-nitrooxypropanol and how it would work ...

Define the terms ecology, ecosystem, and biosphere.

Ecology may be referred as the study of how organisms interact in their environment including both the physical (abiotic) and the living (biotic) aspects of the environment. Ecosystems endure through the (abiotic) and (biotic) relations within them.
