Microbial composition, rumen fermentation parameters, enteric methane emissions, and lactational performance of phenotypically high- and low-methane emitting dairy cows Raw sequence reads
The current study investigates the effect of the high- and low-methane emission phenotype on rumen fermentation, microbial composition, production performance, and enteric emissions of lactating Holstein cows. In this study animals with high- and low- methane emission phenotype differed in their rumen fermentation parameters, nutrient digestibility, microbial composition, and genomic parameters.
