While it is widely assumed worldwide that this seasonality of fodder supply impacts intake levels and therefore enteric methane (eCH) emissions, there are very few references based on in vivo measurements of eCH in this region. The purpose of this study was to test the assumption that the seasonality of fodder supply impacts intake levels and consequently eCH in ruminants.

We examined hematological and clinical chemistry parameters in healthy residents at two rural vaccine trial sites: Bancoumana and Doneguebougou in Mali, West Africa. During screening of clinical studies in 2018 and 2019, peripheral blood samples from 1,192 apparently healthy individuals age 6 months to 82 years were analyzed at a laboratory accredited by the College of American Pathologists for a complete blood count, and creatinine and/or alanine aminotransferase levels.
