Abstract
Herein, it is shown that strong specific anti-methanogen avian antibodies can be produced when chickens are immunized with an optimal dose of methane producing bacterial antigen (methanogen) formulated with an appropriate adjuvant. The antibodies can in turn be used to reduce methane gas production from an animal by administering an effective amount of the anti-methanogen antibodies to the animal, thereby reducing methane gas evolved by the animal compared to an untreated or mock treated control animal of similar age and condition.
