Estimation of genetic parameters for milk mid-infrared-predicted methane production in Holstein dairy cattle.

Abstract excerpt

Livestock methane emissions contribute to 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Integrating methane production into breeding goals has the potential to mitigate methane emissions and contribute to more sustainable livestock systems. To achieve this through genetic selection, large datasets of phenotypic records are required, making the use of direct measurement of methane emissions limited on a broad scale....
