Climate change brings challenges to cattle production, such as the need to adapt to new
climates and pressure to reduce greenhouse emissions (GHG). In general, the improvement …

Over the last decade, extensive research effort has been placed on developing methane
mitigation strategies in ruminants. Many disciplines on animal science disciplines have been …

The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of incorporating enteric methane into
the breeding objective of dairy cattle in Spain, and to evaluate both genetic and economic …

Records of methane emissions from 1,501 cows on 14 commercial farms in 4 regions of
Spain were collected from May 2018 to June 2019. Methane concentrations (MeC) were …

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 …

Interest on methane emissions from livestock has increased in later years as it is an
anthropogenic greenhouse gas with an important warming potential. The rumen microbiota …

Genetic selection to reduce methane (CH 4) emissions from dairy cows is an attractive
means of reducing the impact of agricultural production on climate change. In this study, we …

Genetic selection to reduce CH 4 emissions is a promising solution for reducing the
environmental impact of dairy cattle production. Before such a selection program can be …

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 …

Reducing methane (CH 4) emissions from agriculture, among other sectors, is a key step to
reducing global warming. There are many strategies to reduce CH 4 emissions in ruminant …
