Phenotypic association among performance, feed efficiency and methane emission traits in Nellore cattle.

Phenotypic association among performance, feed efficiency and methane emission traits in Nellore cattle.

Enteric methane (CH4) emissions are a natural process in ruminants and can result in up to 12% of energy losses. Hence, decreasing enteric CH4 production constitutes an important step towards improving the feed efficiency of Brazilian cattle herds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relations...
