Methanogenesis plays a crucial role in the digestive process of ruminant animals. During
this process, methanogenic archaea produce methane as a byproduct of their metabolism …

Methane emission from beef and dairy cattle combined contributes around 4.5-5.0% of total
anthropogenic global methane. In addition to enteric methane (CH4) produced by the …

In the last decade, several countries have included feed efficiency (as residual feed intake;
RFI) in their breeding goal. Recent studies showed that RFI is favorably correlated with …

The present study aimed to perform a meta-analysis using the three-level model to integrate
published estimates of genetic parameters for methane emission traits [methane yield …

To reduce methane (CH 4) emissions of dairy cows by animal breeding, CH 4
measurements have to be recorded on thousands of individual cows. Currently, several …

Methane emissions in ruminant livestock has become a hot topic, given the pressure to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions drastically in the European Union over the next 10 to 30 …

In livestock sector, dairy animals alone produce 18% of the total greenhouse gas emissions
globally as methane (CH4). This Enteric methane is the largest component of total carbon …

Methane (CH 4) emissions will be added to many national ruminant breeding programs in
the coming years. Little is known about the covariance structure of CH 4 traits over a …

Sustainability-the new hype of the 21st century has brought discomfort for the government
and society. Sustainable agriculture is essential to face our most concerning challenges …

Ruminant animals, such as dairy cattle, produce CH4, which contributes to global warming
emissions and reduces dietary energy for the cows. While the carbon foot print of milk …
