348. The Effect of Increasing Inclusion Level of Different Rumen Buffers or Alkalizing Agents on in vitro Fermentation Outcomes When Added to a High-roughage Diet for Growing Beef Cattle.

Reducing enteric methane (CH4) emissions from beef cattle remains an opportunity to promote production efficiency and minimize the environmental footprint of beef production. Rumen buffers and alkalinizing agents decrease the concentration of free hydrogen ions in the rumen that may be reduced to form dihydrogen, a p...
