methane_models: dict[str, Any]

Methane model used for methane emission calculations.

is_lactating: bool

Indicator of cow’s lactating status.

milk_fat: float

Milk fat, % of milk.

metabolizable_energy_intake: float

Metabolizable energy intake, Mcal/kg dry matter.

nutrient_amounts: NutritionSupply

Amounts of nutrients in pen ration, calculated per animal, see Notes section for units.

methane_mitigation_method: str

The name of the methane mitigation feed additives. The accepted names are

‘3-NOP’, ‘Monensin’, ‘Essential Oils’, and ‘Seaweed’.

methane_mitigation_additive_amount: float

The dosage of the feed additive, mg/kg DMI.

Returns

float

The daily enteric emissions for cows (g/day).
