Contenido: | The development and validation of management practices to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock require accurate emission measurements. This study assessed the accuracy of a practical inverse dispersion modelling (IDM) technique to quantify methane (CH4) emitted from a small cattle herd (16 animals) confined to a 63&#8201;m&#8201;×&#8201;60&#8201;m experimental pen. The IDM technique calculates emissions from the increase in the CH4 concentration measured downwind of the animals. The measurements were conducted for 7&#8201;d. Two types of open-path (OP) gas sensors were used to measure concentration in the IDM calculation: a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (IDM-FTIR) or a CH4 laser (IDM-Laser). The actual cattle emission rate was measured with a tracer-ratio technique using nitrous oxide (N2O) as the tracer gas. We found very good agreement between the two IDM emission estimates (308.1&#8201;±&#8201;2.1 ? mean&#8201;±&#8201;SE ? and 304.4&#8201;±&#8201;8.0&#8201;g&#8201;CH4 head&#8722;1&#8201;d&#8722;1 for the IDM-FTIR and IDM-Laser respectively) and the tracer-ratio measurements (301.9&#8201;±&#8201;1.5&#8201;g&#8201;CH4 head&#8722;1&#8201;d&#8722;1). This study suggests that a practical IDM measurement approach can provide an accurate method of estimating cattle emissions.
