DESCRIPTION:Prof. Mutian Niu\, Institute of Agricultural Sciences\, Depart
 ment of Environmental Systems Science\, ETHZ\nAbstract:\nRuminants are uni
 quely able to convert human inedible plant biomass into high-quality prote
 in\, playing a critical role in meeting global nutritional needs and provi
 ding economic opportunities for millions of people. However\, they emit me
 thane (CH4)\, a potent greenhouse gas\, primarily from rumen fermentation.
  Enteric CH4 accounts for the majority of CH4 emissions from livestock. As
 sessing the efficacy of CH4 mitigation strategies and understanding how ru
 men microbial fermentation works are crucial for improving environmental s
 ustainability in dairy farming.\n\nShort Biography:\nMutian Niu is Assista
 nt Professor of Animal Nutrition at Institute of Agricultural Sciences\, a
 t Department of Environmental Systems Science\, at ETH Zurich. His researc
 h program is focusing on feed and feeding\, and nutrient utilization of da
 iry cows. For example\, recent work from my group aims at improving rumen 
 fermentation and mitigating enteric methane emissions in dairy cows.\n
