Heritabilities for enteric methane traits range from 0.08 to 0.19 in Danish Holstein cows, indicating genetic variability.
A genetic correlation of 0.44 exists between methane concentration and energy-corrected milk, emphasizing emission increases with higher milk production.
Bivariate repeatability linear animal models were used to analyze the genetic architecture of methane traits alongside milk production traits.
Follow-up studies are needed to develop independent methane traits for breeding lower-emission cows without sacrificing milk production.
