From: Body fat mobilization in early lactation influences methane production of dairy cows
Daily CH4 production, CH4 per dry matter intake (CH4/DMI), CH4 per neutral detergent fiber (CH4/NDF), CH4 per metabolizable energy (ME) intake (CH4/ME intake) and CH4 per energy corrected milk yield (CH4/ECM) in cows with high (■; n = 10) and low (□; n = 10) plasma NEFA concentrations in week 5 p.p.
(a) Time P < 0.001, group P = 0.51, time × group P = 0.91, ANOVA. (b) Time P = 0.17, group P = 0.54, time × group P = 0.14, ANOVA; † indicates P = 0.1, Tukey-Test. (c) Time P < 0.001, group P = 0.66, time × group P = 0.91, ANOVA; † indicates P = 0.08, Tukey-Test. (d) Time P < 0.001, group P = 0.44, time × group P = 0.09, ANOVA. (e) Time P < 0.023, group P = 0.82, time × group P = 0.14, ANOVA. Data in bar charts are shown as LSM ± SE.
