The most important question: what method to use if you need to measure CH4? The answer may be: it depends on what you like to do. In the Table 7 we summarize some experimental conditions and designs, and make recommendations.

Experimental condition and design Methane measurement method recommendation
Need to measure absolute methane values – animal numbers and location not important Respiration chamber;

SF6; GreenFeed

Need to rank animals from low to high methane emission Sniffer method
Need to measure methane on farm Sniffer method;

GreenFeed; PAC

Low budget measurements needed Proxy;

Proxies measurement

High animal numbers required Sniffer method;

Proxies measurement; LMD

Table 7. Recommendations for measuring methane in diverse experimental conditions and designs.
