A methodology framework for weighting genetic traits that impact greenhouse gas emission intensities in selection indexes.

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience - 1 Jan 2018

Amer P R, Hely F S, Quinton C D, Cromie A R

Abstract excerpt

A methodological framework was presented for deriving weightings to be applied in selection indexes to account for the impact genetic change in traits will have on greenhouse gas emissions intensities (EIs). Although the emission component of the breeding goal was defined as the ratio of total emissions relative to a weighted combination of farm outputs, the resulting trait-weighting factors can be applied as...
