Abstract excerpt
Genetic selection offers a sustainable approach to mitigating methane emissions from dairy cattle, a key contributor to agricultural GHG. This study evaluated 4 GHG-related traits, methane production (MetP, g/d), carbon dioxide production (CDP, g/d), methane intensity (MetI g/kg milk), and residual methane production (RMet, g/d) in Holstein cows. A total of 79,040 weekly averages of gas emission traits were...
