Genetic Analysis of Methane Emission Traits in Holstein Dairy Cattle

Genetic Analysis of Methane Emission Traits in Holstein Dairy Cattle

Genetic selection can be a feasible method to help mitigate enteric methane emissions from dairy cattle, as methane emission-related traits are heritable and genetic gains are persistent and cumulative over time. The objective of this study was to estimate heritability of methane emission phenotypes...
