Modeling methane emissions from cattle requires data on herd size, herd distribution by weight and use, and distribution by climate. In this article, it is shown how empirical and semi-empirical models were obtained for these data in Mexico. Some shortfalls in the Tier 2 approach of the 1994 IPCC's methodology for emissions from enteric fermentation are discussed and an intermediate procedure is proposed. These methods could also be applied in other countries.
