Measured with a Tunable Diode Laser (TDL) at ±0.3% accuracy, methane data enable precise comparison of emissions between animals, diets, and management strategies.
Measured using a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensor with ±1% accuracy, CO₂ data helpquantify respiratory activity and provide essential context for total gas exchange and emissions calculations.
Measured using a paramagnetic sensor, oxygen data support evaluation of respiratory efficiency and metabolic function.

GreenFeed employs a precisely controlled airflow system to capture exhaled air and eructations while maintaining sampling integrity across animals and environmental. Integrated flow meters and environmental controls allow gas concentrations to be accurately converted into
grams per day of emissions.
This controlled sampling architecture ensures repeatable and comparable measurements across animals, sites, and study durations, supporting both cross-site trials and longitudinal research designs.
All sensor data are transmitted to C-Lock’s cloud-based analytics platform, where they are:
Emission estimates are derived by integrating gas concentrations, airflow rates, and time-stamped animal visits to calculate daily emissions per individual animal. This approach ensures consistent emissions estimates regardless of variability in animal behavior, such as visit timing or duration.
Built-in statistical models correct for uneven sampling patterns, including differences in feeder visitation among dominant or less-frequent animals. These corrections reduce behavioral noise while preserving biological signal—an essential requirement for robust, peer-reviewed research and regulatory methodologies.
C-Lock technologies have been validated across academic, government, and industry research programs worldwide.
Data generated using GreenFeed systems are routinely incorporated into multi-institutional trials, international meta-analyses, and decision-critical research informing emissions models, nutritional strategies, and genetic improvement programs
