Abstract excerpt
Genetic selection to reduce CH4 emissions is a promising solution for reducing the environmental impact of dairy cattle production. Before such a selection program can be implemented, however, it is necessary to have a better understanding of the genetic determinism of CH4 emissions and how this might influence other traits of interest. In this study, we performed a genetic analysis of 6 CH4 traits predicted from...
