Summary of the main methodologies for individual methane measurements
| Method | Robust | Intrusive | Cost | Throughput |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Respiration chamber | Yes | Yes | High | Low |
| Short-term accumulation chamber | Yes | Yes, but easily managed with grazing animals | Low | High |
| Greenfeed monitors | ? | Moderately, requires modified grazing pattern | High | Moderate |
| SF6 | ? | Yes for sampling, less so for grazing | High | Moderate |
