This collaboration between Aarhus University and Wageningen Livestock Research has five main goals.

  • Setting up Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for measuring methane using sniffers
  • Setting up international protocols to measure methane on commercial farms
  • Develop software tools to automate the processing of data into a phenotype
  • Combine historical data in both countries for genetic evaluations
  • Measure enteric methane in 20.000 new cows.
