Measuring Methane Production from Ruminants (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Makkar, Harinder P. S.; Vercoe, Philip E.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book gives a comprehensive and unique account of the methodologies for measuring methane from in vitro fermentation systems, and from stall-fed and grazing animals. The methods and protocols have been presented in simple format for direct practical use. This book will equip the readers to measure and monitor methane emissions accurately and to meet the challenge of improving productivity from ruminants without damaging the environment.
