Enteric methane (CH4) emissions of 12 lactating cows under continuous grazing system and fed highlands Peruvian grassland were measured in two seasons (rainy / April and dry / August). The sulfur hexafluoride tracer gas technique was used to measure CH4 emissions for seven consecutive days and at both seasons. Dry matter intake (DMI) was estimated from fecal production estimated using Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) as external indicator and organic matter digestibility (OMD) was estimated with the fecal nitrogen method. The paired data test was used to calculate the differences between both seasons. Crude protein content (CP) of highlands Peruvian grassland was higher in rainy season (109.9 g / KgDM) than in dry season (72.4 g / Kg DM) and also higher in NDF content (676.9 vs 660 g / KgDM). OMD was significantly higher (P <0.05) in rainy season (626 g / Kg) than in dry season (598 g / Kg). DMI was significantly higher (P <0.05) in dry season (10.4 kg) than in rainy season (9.3 Kg). Enteric CH4 emissions (g / cow / day) was higher (P <0.05) in dry season (257 g) than in rainy season (213 g). However, there were no significant differences in CH4 emission per unit of intake (23.2 vs 25 g CH4 / kg DM) but when the values were expressed per unit of digested intake (g CH4 / kg dDM), emissions in dry season (46g CH4 / kg dDM) was higher (p <0.05) than in rainy season (40g CH4 / kg dDM). Emissions of CH4 per unit of energy corrected milk (ECM) was significantly higher (p <0.05) in dry season (131g CH4 / kg ECM) than in rainy season (69g CH4 / kg ECM). Methane yield (Ym) in the rainy season (7.4%) and dry season (8%) did not show significant differences.
