Accurate measurements of enteric methane emissions are becoming increasingly relevant to cattle production. This study evaluated how environmental, animal, and equipment factors influence enteric emissions and their repeatability over time when measured through automated head chamber system devices. Our results will help to understand the main factors affecting the variability of cattle enteric emissions in both dry lot and grazing conditions in commercial settings.
