Poster Abstract: Biserrula pelecinus is among a few forage legume species with low enteric methane emission when fermented in rumen and it is unclear whether metabolites in biserrula play a role in this. The objective of this study was to investigate the metabolomics of biserrula for candidate biomarkers associated with low methanogenesis. We characterized the biserrula core collection of 30 accessions from different geographical origin for methanogenesis in the rumen and metabolomic profile by NMR and Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS). Metabolomic profile was predictive of methanogenesis. Forty seven putative metabolites were identified by LCMS that were highly expressed (P
