Benefits of including methane measurements in selection strategies.

Journal of animal science - 1 Sept 2016

Robinson D L, Oddy V H

Abstract excerpt

Estimates of genetic/phenotypic covariances and economic values for slaughter weight, growth, feed intake and efficiency, and three potential methane traits were compiled to explore the effect of incorporating methane measurements in breeding objectives for cattle and meat sheep. The cost of methane emissions was assumed to be zero (scenario A), A$476/t (based on A$14/t CO equivalent and methane's 100-yr global...
