• 17:43, 31 December 2024 Cmosconi talk contribs deleted page NDIR vs LMD (content was: "Both methods are low invasive. LMD needs larger labor force, wheras NDIR can be used during milking and feeding. According to Rey at al. (2019), the repeatability of the CH4 concentration was greater for NDIR (0.42) than for LMD (0.23).
