Methane emissions among individual dairy cows during milking quantified by eructation peaks or ratio with carbon dioxide (2014)
Journal Article
Bell, M. J., Saunders, N., Wilcox, R., Homer, E., Goodman, J., Craigon, J., & Garnsworthy, P. (2014). Methane emissions among individual dairy cows during milking quantified by eructation peaks or ratio with carbon dioxide. Journal of Dairy Science, 97(10), 6536-6546. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2013-7889

The aims of this study were to compare methods for examining measurements of CH4 and CO2 emissions of dairy cows during milking and to assess repeatability and variation of CH4 emissions among individual dairy cows. Measurements of CH4 and CO2 emissi... Read More about Methane emissions among individual dairy cows during milking quantified by eructation peaks or ratio with carbon dioxide.

Use of modelling to identify perennial ryegrass plant traits for future warmer and drier climates (2014)
Journal Article
Christie, K. M., Eckard, R. J., Rawnsley, R. P., Cullen, B. R., & Bell, M. J. (2014). Use of modelling to identify perennial ryegrass plant traits for future warmer and drier climates. Crop and Pasture Science, 65(8), 758-766. https://doi.org/10.1071/CP13408

Potential exists to select pasture species better adapted to anticipated warmer temperatures and lower rainfall, associated with increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas concentrations, to maximise pasture yields and persi...

Variation in enteric methane emissions among cows on commercial dairy farms (2014)
Journal Article
Bell, M., Potterton, S., Craigon, J., Saunders, N., Wilcox, R., Hunter, M., …Garnsworthy, P. (2014). Variation in enteric methane emissions among cows on commercial dairy farms. animal, 8(9), 1540-1546. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1751731114001530

Methane (CH4) emissions by dairy cows vary with feed intake and diet composition. Even when fed on the same diet at the same intake, however, variation between cows in CH4 emissions can be substantial. The extent of variation in CH4 emissions among d...
