[QUOTE="Cowgirl, post: 8621502, member: 3213"] I agree with everyone but the problem is that no matter how often we say it, the powers that be remain convinced that we need to do something about methane from cows! I agreed to go to the meeting because I think by agreeing to discussion we may get further than just saying « it’s all rubbish ». There is a lot of very interesting science behind it - that the host has a genetic influence over the type of methanogenic organisms which inhabit the rumen. I suspect we’ll end up with it being another genomic selection trait with EBVs. Personally I would be prepared to use it as one of a range of traits for selecting breeding stock, but it wouldn’t be an important one on the list. [/QUOTE]
