Exploring indicators of genetic selection using the sniffer method to reduce methane emissions from Holstein cows

Objective This study aimed to evaluate whether the methane (CH4) to carbon dioxide (CO2) ratio (CH4/CO2) and methane-related traits obtained by the sniffer method can be used as indicators for genetic selection of Holstein cows with lower CH4 emissions. Methods The sniffer method was used to simulta...
