Summary statistics and mean accuracies of EBVs for average daily methane production (g methane/d) for each methane estimation equation
| Number of animals | Mean | Minimum | Maximum | Standard deviation | BIF accuracy | Classical accuracy | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EMP1 | 810 | 0.0004 | −25.6 | 23.6 | 8.61 | 0.33 | 0.74 |
| MMP2 | 810 | 0.0006 | −43.7 | 36.0 | 13.7 | 0.34 | 0.75 |
| IMP3 | 810 | 0.0006 | −42.8 | 37.5 | 13.9 | 0.33 | 0.74 |
1EMP is methane predicted using an equation adapted from Ellis et al. (2007).
2MMP is methane predicted using an equation adapted from Mills et al. (2003).
3IMP is methane predicted using an equation adapted from IPCC (2019).
