英文摘要	Simple Summary Yaks are one of the sources of greenhouse gas emissions from livestock farming on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region, and regulating greenhouse gas emissions from yaks has important ecological significance. In this study, we evaluated potential links between basal diet, rumen microbiota composition, and CH4 and CO2 emissions of yaks under different feeding regimes. We found the CO2 and CH4 emissions of yaks were lower in traditional grazing than in warm-grazing and cold-indoor feeding regimes. The rumen microbiota of the yaks changed because of differences in basal diet. The CO2 and CH4 emissions of yaks were related to complementarity among members of the rumen functional genera. We believe that shifts in feeding regimes are effective measures reducing greenhouse gas emissions from yaks and rumen microbiome characterization could be useful screening tools for selecting yaks with low gas emissions. Shifts in feeding regimes are important factors affecting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock farming. However, the quantitative values and associated drivers of GHG emissions from yaks (Bos grunniens) following shifts in feeding regimes have yet to be fully described. In this study, we aimed to investigate CH4 and CO2 emissions differences of yaks under different feeding regimes and their potential microbial mechanisms. Using static breathing chamber and Picarro G2508 gas concentration analyzer, we measured the CO2 and CH4 emissions from yaks under traditional grazing (TG) and warm-grazing and cold-indoor feeding (WGCF) regimes. Microbial inventories from the ruminal fluid of the yaks were determined via Illumina 16S rRNA and ITS sequencing. Results showed that implementing the TG regime in yaks decreased their CO2 and CH4 emissions compared to the WGCF regime. The alpha diversity of ruminal archaeal community was higher in the TG regime than in the WGCF regime. The beta diversity showed that significant differences in the rumen microbial composition of the TG regime and the WGCF regime. Changes in the rumen microbiota of the yaks were driven by differences in dietary nutritional parameters. The relative abundances of the phyla Neocallimastigomycota and Euryarchaeota and the functional genera Prevotella, Ruminococcus, Orpinomyces, and Methanobrevibacter were significantly higher in the WGCF regime than in the TG regime. CO2 and CH4 emissions from yaks differed mainly because of the enrichment relationship of functional H-2- and CO2-producing microorganisms, hydrogen-consuming microbiota, and hydrogenotrophic methanogenic microbiota. Our results provided a view that it is ecologically important to develop GHG emissions reduction strategies for yaks on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau based on traditional grazing regime.
