Phenotypic and genetic characterisation of methane emission predicted from milk fatty acid profile of Sarda dairy ewes

Individual methane emissions are a potential breeding goal for selection plans aimed at improving the sustainability of ruminant farming systems. However, a large-scale recording of individual methane emissions is hampered by the high costs of the equipment and the logistics of the experiments. Equa...
