From: Body fat mobilization in early lactation influences methane production of dairy cows
Carbohydrate oxidation (COX) and fat oxidation (FOX) at different time points in cows with high (■; n = 10) and low (□; n = 10) plasma NEFA concentrations in week 5 p.p.; and linear regression of FOX and CH4 yield (n = 20).
(a) Time P < 0.001, group P = 0.24, time × group P = 0.08, ANOVA; † indicates P = 0.09; Tukey-Test. (b) Time P < 0.001, group P = 0.14, time × group P = 0.22, ANOVA; † indicates P = 0.06; Tukey-Test. (c) Slope P = 0.37. (d) Slope P = 0.78. Data in bar charts are shown as LSM ± SE.
