Prediction of methane emission from beef cattle using data measured in indirect open-circuit respiration calorimeters
The objectives of the present study were to examine relationships between methane (CH4) output and animal and dietary factors, and to use these relationships to develop prediction equations for CH4 emission from beef cattle. The dataset was obtained from 108 growing-to-finishing beef steers in five...
