Abstract

Methane dominates agricultural greenhouse gas emissions in New Zealand (Leslie et al., 2008). Research efforts in New Zealand to date have been directed toward prediction of emissions, most often using the rumen gas marker sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) (Lassey et al., 1997) to predict methane emissions in grazing livestock. However, the errors associated with this method necessitate the use of multiple day sampling programmes and large numbers of individuals to overcome... Continued
