Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: This presentation introduces considerations for the collection of different types of enteric gases as a phenotype for genetic evaluation programs in beef cattle. Different types of enteric gases are described as are considerations toward how changing these gases could benefit beef cattle efficiency and marketability. Collection of enteric gases as a phenotype can be costly and the benefits need to be considered relative to these costs. Current technologies to measure these gases are briefly discussed as an introduction to companies (subsequent presentations) that provide these technologies.
