Abstract

Abstract: In order to reveal the characteristics of the greenhouse gas emissions from naturally grazing female yak in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau during the growing season, a combination of face mask and GC methods was used to measure the respiratory CO₂ and CH₄ emissions from three age groups of yak. The results showed that age had a significant impact on greenhouse gas emission rate and emission flux. Feeding significantly influenced CH₄ emission rate. The average emission fluxes of CH₄ and CO₂ in 1-2-year-old group were 54.59 and 2 663.71 g·head^-1·d^-1, respectively, and they were 80.48 and 3 715.17 g·head^-1·d^-1 in 3-4-year-old group and 84.45 and 4 663.55 g·head^-1·d^-1 in 5-6-year-old group, respectively. The respiratory CO₂ and CH₄ emission fluxes were positively correlated with yak biochemical parameters, which changed with age. The respiratory CH₄ emissions of yak are lower than bovine raised by freely grazing in other regions.

Key words: methane, carbon dioxide, feed intake, age, biochemical parameters
