Host genetics and the rumen microbiome jointly associate with methane emissions in dairy cows
Cattle and other ruminants produce large quantities of methane (~110 million metric tonnes per annum), which is a potent greenhouse gas affecting global climate change. Methane (CH(4)) is a natural by-product of gastro-enteric microbial fermentation of feedstuffs in the rumen and contributes to 6% o...
