Optimising the proportion of selection candidates measured for feed intake for a beef cattle breeding objective that includes methane emissions

Reducing daily methane production (DMP) via selection for lower estimated daily (pasture) feed intake (DFI) has the potential to be more cost effective than direct selection for DMP. Daily feed intake has a high heritability and high genetic correlation to DMP and has a potential lower cost of measu...
