“…So far, there is no consensus on the best phenotype. The mean of the peak values seems to be the most studied phenotype [12,13,17,26,38], but other measures that summarise all values [28,30,42,46], peak values [19,38,42], respiration or eructation values [18], respiration or eructation peak values and eructation events [14,15,19,35,38,46] have also been analysed (Table 3). So far, different phenotypes based on total, respiration, and eructation values have performed inconsistently and differently across studies in terms of CH 4 prediction accuracy [18] and usability for genetic [14,15] and nutritional analyses [38].…”
