More feed efficient sheep produce less methane and carbon dioxide when eating high-quality pellets.

Journal of animal science - 1 Sept 2017

Abstract excerpt

The Australian sheep industry aims to increase the efficiency of sheep production by decreasing the amount of feed eaten by sheep. Also, feed intake is related to methane production, and more efficient (low residual feed intake) animals eat less than expected. So we tested the hypothesis that more efficient sheep produce less methane by investigating the genetic correlations between feed intake, residual feed...
