The relationship between methane emission and daytime-dependent fecal archaeol concentration in lactating dairy cows fed two different diets

<p>Archaeol is a cell membrane lipid of methanogenic archaea excreted in feces and is therefore a potential biomarker for individual methane emission (MEM). The aims of this study were to examine the potential of the fecal archaeol concentration (fArch) to be a proxy for MEM prediction in cows...
