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.

Variation in composition of pre-grazed pasture herbage in the United Kingdom, 2006-2012 (2014)
Journal Article
Wilkinson, J. M., Allen, J. D., Tunnicliffe, R., Smith, M., & Garnsworthy, P. C. (2014). Variation in composition of pre-grazed pasture herbage in the United Kingdom, 2006-2012. Animal Feed Science and Technology, 196, 139-144. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anifeedsci.2014.07.001

A total of 8814 samples of pre-grazed herbage samples was analysed by near infrared spectroscopy calibrated against wet chemistry between March 2006 and October 2012. There were decreasing trends over the seven-year period in annual mean crude protei... Read More about Variation in composition of pre-grazed pasture herbage in the United Kingdom, 2006-2012.

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...

A case study of the carbon footprint of milk from high-performing confinement and grass-based dairy farms (2014)
Journal Article
O'Brien, D., Capper, J., Garnsworthy, P., Grainger, C., & Shalloo, L. (2014). A case study of the carbon footprint of milk from high-performing confinement and grass-based dairy farms. Journal of Dairy Science, 97(3), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2013-7174

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is the preferred methodology to assess carbon footprint per unit of milk. The objective of this case study was to apply a LCA method to compare carbon footprints of high performance confinement and grass-based dairy farms....
