Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Selective breeding is a potential strategy for reducing methane (CH4) emissions in ruminants. In Australian beef cattle, large scale emission recording is currently being conducted using GreenFeed Emission Monitors (C-Lock Inc, USA). GreenFeeds repeatedly collect CH4 and carbon dioxide (CO2) spot-samples of varying duration on attending animals. This study used emission phenotypes from Australian...
