Abstract excerpt
Ruminants contribute up to 80% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock, and enteric methane production by ruminants is the main source of these GHG emissions.

Data from 2 performance-recording research herds of Angus cattle were used to evaluate a number of methane measures that target methane...
