The objective of this study was to compare the precision of CH estimates using calculated CO by the CO method (COT) and measured CO in the respiration chamber (COR). The COR and COT study was conducted as a 3 × 3 Latin square design where 3 Dexter heifers were allocated to metabolic cages for 3 periods. Each period consisted of 2 weeks of adaptation followed by 1 week of measurement with the COR and COT.

- Maize silage, a common cattle feed, can be contaminated with mycotoxins, raising concerns for farmers and consumers in Denmark.
- A study analyzed 99 maize samples for 27 mycotoxins using advanced liquid chromatography, finding that 61 samples had detectable mycotoxins, with zearalenone and nivalenol being the most prevalent.
- Despite none of the samples exceeding EU safety limits for mycotoxins, the presence of multiple fungal metabolites in some samples indicates a need for further research into the potential effects of chronic exposure and their combined impacts.
This paper is a brief introduction to the different methods used to quantify the enteric methane emission from ruminants. A thorough knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of these methods is very important in order to plan experiments, understand and interpret experimental results, and compare them with other studies. The aim of the paper is to describe the principles, advantages and disadvantages of different methods used to quantify the enteric methane emission from ruminants.
