Abstract

CH₄ emissions from ruminants are a major source of agricultural GHGs. CGIAR genebanks (Alliance, ILRI, and ICARDA) hold rich genetic diversity to discover low-methane forages (LMFs). A funnel-shaped screening approach was developed to progressively narrow down thousands of accessions to the most promising candidates for methane mitigation and high digestibility.
