[EN] Methane (CH4) is a natural by-product of microbial fermentation in the rumen and is a powerful greenhouse gas. An open-circuit indirect calorimetry system for continuous determination of CH4 and CO2 production and O-2 ...
López Luján, Mª del Carmen; Fernández Martínez, Carlos Javier(Elsevier, 2013-01)
The heat production (HP) from CH4 and CO2 production and O-2 consumption was determined by the respirometry quotient (RQ) method and by C-N balance measurements (CN method). Twelve dry and none pregnant Guirras sheep were ...

A mobile open-circuit respirometry system was constructed for estimating heat production (HP) in small ruminants from CH4 and CO2 production and 02 consumption by the respiratory quotient (RQ) method. The method was evaluated ...
LÓPEZ LUJÁN, MARÍA DEL CARMEN(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-04-28)
[EN] For many years energy needs of ruminants have tried to be known to formulate rations adjusted, but it has been found that there are a variety of factors that affect them. Therefore, lots of studies are needed for ...
[EN] A dynamic model of methane (CH4) emission in goats was proposed and parameterized from energy balance experimental data. The model focused on dry matter intake and fat content of the diet as explanatory variables for ...
