The indicators of efficiency of milk production and ecological load, evaluated according to indirect markers of methane assessment in mutual relation with direct analysis of CH4, will be statistically processed into models of analytical assessment of the impact of nutrition on quality, the efficiency of production, and the environmental load. The aim of the project is in selected farms to analyze and evaluate the mutual nutritional, production, and ecological parameters of milk production and their statistical processing into regression dependencies for the evaluation of the ecological load of CH4 emissions. Based on the analyzed intake of nutrients, the level of rumen fermentation, and the milk composition and metabolites, develop statistical models for the indirect assessment of CH4 production at the level of production groups. The obtained results after verification with the direct analysis of CH4 by infrared absorption spectrometry are used as analytical tools for the evaluation of the nutrition of cows.
