Dataset used in the research article "Methane emissions of dairy cows in two pasture-based systems with contrasting intensification strategies in Uruguay: operational simplicity vs maximised productivity".

The file contains two sheets:

Metadata_paper ANOPES-D25-00065: Includes individual cow records for all measurements across two periods and the two pasture-based dairy systems (operational simplicity – OS – and high productivity – HP). Each row represents one cow on one sampling date and contains information on methane emissions, milk production traits, and animal characteristics.

Metadata_variables explained_paper ANOPES-D25-00065: Provides detailed definitions and units (or types) for all variables included in the dataset.
