Genetic and phenotypic variance and covariance components for methane emission and postweaning traits in Angus cattle.

Journal of animal science - 1 Apr 2016

Donoghue K A, Bird-Gardiner T, Arthur P F, Herd R M, Hegarty R F

Abstract excerpt

Ruminants contribute 80% of the global livestock greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mainly through the production of methane, a byproduct of enteric microbial fermentation primarily in the rumen. Hence, reducing enteric methane production is essential in any GHG emissions reduction strategy in livestock. Data on 1,046 young bulls and heifers from 2 performance-recording research herds of Angus cattle were analyzed to...
