Dynamic model development of enteric methane emission from goats based on energy balance measured in indirect open circuit respiration calorimeter

A dynamic model of methane (CH4) emission in goats was proposed and parameterized from energy balance experimental data. The model focused on dry matter intake and fat content of the diet as explanatory variables for CH4 emission. Experimental and literature data were used to develop the model. Then...
