Inside Scientific Webinar: The Respiration Chamber Technique for Quantification of Methane Emissions in Ruminants

Join us for an informative session with Dr. Juan Ku-Vera as he discusses the application of respiration chambers for measuring and mitigating methane emissions in ruminants.

In this webinar Dr. Ku-Vera will deal with aspects of design, construction and operation of respiration chambers for measurements of methane emissions in ruminants. Instrumentation and calibration of analyzers required for such measurements will be dealt with as well as strategies of methane mitigation under practical farming conditions. Main factors affecting methane emissions are dry matter intake and chemical composition of the ration (forages vs. concentrates). Research carried out by Dr. Ku-Vera has contributed to unravel the potential of foliages and pods of tropical plant species containing secondary metabolites to mitigate methane emissions in ruminants.
