Three experiments were carried out.
Laser methane detector cows.
This study investigated the effectiveness of the proprietary laser methane detector lmd in enteric methane monitoring from individual dairy cows and sheep.

The use of a recently developed proprietary laser methane detector lmd in dairy cows was first initiated and explored by chagunda et al.
Comparison of a laser methane detector with the greenfeed and two breath analysers for on farm measurements of methane emissions from dairy cows.
The lmd readings have been shown to correspond to measurements taken with a respiration chamber 8 and have been shown to be able to measure methane from a larger number.
First the relationship between lmd and indirect open circuit respiration calorimetric chamber measurements was tested.
Ruminating cows had 1 4 and 1 1 times higher lmd values than idle and feeding cows respectively.

The lmd is a hand held gas detector for the.
The enteric methane measurements in the current study were not affected by the operator meaning that the hand held methane detector could be operated by different operator without affecting the measurements.
Capable of safely and quickly detecting gas leaks from a distance with ultra fast.

Laser methane gas detector drone the new laser methane copter lmc is capable of remotely detecting methane by attaching the laser methane copter to your drone it can quickly detect gas leaks or accumulated gas from a remote place by guiding the laser beam at the target up to 50m high.
The current study was aimed at examining the ability of a recently developed proprietary laser methane detector lmd to estimate enteric methane output in dairy cows without any disturbance to the normal activity of the cows.
Recently a laser methane detector lmd has been used to measure enteric methane emissions from the cows.

A point measure in mg kg per meter was taken every 0 5 sec within a period of 1 to 5 min up to 3 times a day 30 min apart on 3 different days chagunda et al 2013.
Laser methane detector laser methane detector data was available on 57 cows born from 2004 to 2009 and was measured in 2010 2011 and or 2012.
