Genetic insights into enteric methane emissions in indoor-fed growing cattle.

Abstract excerpt

Despite increasing interest in the genetic selection of ruminants for reduced enteric methane emissions, uncertainty remains on which methane trait definitions best reflect the exploitable genetic variation independent of traits already included in national cattle breeding programs. The present study aimed to explore the genetic variability in a range of methane-related traits in growing beef cattle and quantify...
