Willow silvopastoral systems as a strategy to reduce methane emissions while maintaining cattle performance

Willow silvopastoral systems as a strategy to reduce methane emissions while maintaining cattle performance

Abstract Willow (Salix sp.) is a common tree used in agroforestry for biofuel production and contains condensed tannins (CTs). This study investigated, for the first time, the feasibility of using willow grazing in a silvopastoral system to improve ruminant productivity while minimizing environmenta...
