Abstract
Sheep with a relatively low methane yield were observed to have shorter fluid and particle mean retention times (MRT). Because the application of pilocarpine, a saliva stimulant, was successful in reducing retention times in ruminants in previous studies, we applied this substance to sheep, expecting a reduction in MRT and methane yield. Three non‐pregnant sheep (74 ± 10 kg) were fed a hay‐only diet in a 3 × 3 Latin square design with oral doses of 0, 2.5 and 5mg pilocarpine/kg body weight and day. Measurements included feed and water
