In ruminants, methane is produced mostly by enteric fermentation where microbes decompose and ferment plant materials, such as celluloses, fiber, starches, and sugars, in their digestive tract or rumen. Enteric methane is one by‑product of this digestive process and is expelled by the animal through burping.
