methane and Weight Gain

methane has been researched along with Weight Gain in 28 studies

Methane: The simplest saturated hydrocarbon. It is a colorless, flammable gas, slightly soluble in water. It is one of the chief constituents of natural gas and is formed in the decomposition of organic matter. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
methane : A one-carbon compound in which the carbon is attached by single bonds to four hydrogen atoms. It is a colourless, odourless, non-toxic but flammable gas (b.p. -161degreeC).

Weight Gain: Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The hypothesis of the present study is that when combined with fat, soybean hulls (SH) could replace corn as a source of energy, reducing methane production without affecting animal performance."2.80Effect of starch-based supplementation level combined with oil on intake, performance, and methane emissions of growing Nellore bulls on pasture. ( Berchielli, TT; Messana, JD; Neto, AJ; Ribeiro, AF; Rossi, LG; Vito, ES, 2015)
"Methane emissions were recorded, and ruminal samples were collected from kids at 2 mo of age (weaning, W) and 1 (W+1) and 4 (W+4) mo later."2.78Nutritional intervention in early life to manipulate rumen microbial colonization and methane output by kid goats postweaning. ( Abecia, L; Martín-García, AI; Martínez, G; Newbold, CJ; Yáñez-Ruiz, DR, 2013)
"Methane emission was measured using the sulfur hexafluoride technique in each season of the cycle."1.56Pasture intensification in beef cattle production can affect methane emission intensity. ( Alves, TC; Azenha, MV; Berndt, A; Corte, RR; Leme, PR; Lemes, AP; Oliveira, PPA; Pedroso, AF; Rodrigues, PHM; Sakamoto, LS, 2020)
"Methane traits were methane yield (MY; methane production divided by feed intake based on measurements over 1 d in respiration chambers) or short-term measurements of methane production adjusted for live weight (MPadjWt) in grazing animals, e."1.43Benefits of including methane measurements in selection strategies. ( Oddy, VH; Robinson, DL, 2016)
"Methane production was increased (P < ."1.29The effect of ruminal escape protein and ambient temperature on the efficiency of utilization of metabolizable energy by lambs. ( Mathison, GW; von Keyserlingk, GE, 1993)
