¹Methane, average methane production adjusted for breed; RMP_adg, methane adjusted for average daily gain; RMP_cw, methane adjusted for carcass weight; RMP_lw, methane adjusted for liveweight; RMP_energy, methane adjusted for energy intake; RMP_ca, methane adjusted for carcass weight and average daily gain; RMP_la, methane adjusted for liveweight and average daily gain; RMP_el, methane adjusted for energy intake and liveweight.

^a,b,cLeast squares means within a row with different subscripts differ (P < 0.05).
