Comparison of methane production between C3 and C4 grasses and legumes (2011, background): “Others have shown that increasing retention time of forages in the rumen can lead to increased CH4 production (Pinares-Patino et al., 2003).”
Invited review: Enteric methane in dairy cattle production: quantifying the opportunities and impact of reducing emissions. (2014, methodology): “In essence, this has been done in the research to develop CH4 prediction equations (Moe and Tyrrell, 1979; Mills et al., 2003) and in the meta-analysis of Archimède et al.”
Evaluation of enteric methane prediction equations for dairy cows used in whole farm models (2010, methodology): “The negative m-value for the IPCC (1997) Tier II equation indicates a general over-prediction of CH4 production, whereas the positive value for Kirchge ner et al. [1995, eqns (1) and (2)] and Moe & Tyrrell (1979b) indicates under-prediction on average.”
Special topics--Mitigation of methane and nitrous oxide emissions from animal operations: I. A review of enteric methane mitigation options. (2013, unknown): “On average, C4 grasses in the database had about 16% higher NDF content than C3 grasses (64.6 vs. 55.7%, respectively), and the greater methanogenic potential of structural vs. nonstructural carbohydrates has been documented by Moe and Tyrrell (1979).”
