Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Zinc sulfate and propylene glycol (PG) on methane (CH 4 ) emission, nutrient intake, digestibility, and production in sheep grazing on a native Caatinga (Brazilian semi-arid savannah) pasture during the rainy season (from March to June 2014). Fifteen mixed Santa In s sheep, all non-castrated males, with initial body weight of 19.8 1.64 kg, and 4 0.35 months of age, were distributed in a complete randomized design into three treatments: control (CT) concentrate supplemented at 0.7% of body weight; CT + 300 mg of Zn/day; and CT + 2.5 mL of pro
