Effect of release rate of the SF6 tracer on methane emission estimates based on ruminal and breath gas samples

The release rate (RR) of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) gas from permeation tube in the rumen appears to be positively related with methane (CH4) emissions calculated using the SF6 tracer technique. Gas samples of breath and ruminal headspace were collected simultaneously in order to evaluate the hypoth...
