Heritability estimates of enteric methane emissions predicted from fatty acid profiles, and their relationships with milk composition, cheese-yield and body size and condition
In the present study we estimated the genetic parameters of enteric methane emissions (EME) traits predicted from milk fatty acid profile (FA) and those of their predictors in 1,091 Brown Swiss cows reared on 85 farms in order to assess the potential of using EME-related phenotypes in selective bree...
