Abstract excerpt
Methane emissions from ruminants significantly contribute to GHG, making it crucial for sustainable livestock breeding to understand how both genetic and microbial factors influence methane production. We compared the heritability and microbiability for enteric methane in cows using microbial features derived from 16S rRNA amplicon data and shotgun metagenomics data, together with genome-wide marker data. The...
