1 Livestock Projects AHDB & Defra Nigel Penlington BPEX Division September 2013 Tel;
2 Key Projects from England AHDB DairyCo Carbon footprinting for GB milk production Defra - Green House Gas Platform Data Management (AC0114) Methane Emission Factors (AC0115) Nitrous Oxide Emission Factors (AC0016)
3 DairyCo R&D project Establishment of annual average carbon footprint figure for GB milk production The E-CO 2 Project were successful tenderers Three year project Over 400 farms Varying in size, system and geographical location Good, bad & ugly!
4 Improving metrics Carbon foot printing methodology Water foot printing methodology Developing LCA approaches Improvements to National Inventory Linkage to global networks
5 Farm feedback
6 Comparison
7 Dairy Co, EBLEX and BPEX have plans
8 Milk Roadmap supply chain!

11 Thank-you! & InveN2Ory 2 ResearCH 4 Synthesis
12 Aims of Workpackage 3 GHGE = Emission factor x Activity value Activity data values include: Animal numbers, types, ages Feed composition, e.g. energy density, N Housing & manure types & methods Crop areas, types, location (soil-climate) N applications to land (fertiliser & manures) Time grazing or ranging Move from set of constants to systems-based approach & InveN2Ory 2 ResearCH 4 Synthesis
13 A range of data sources have been assessed: Data from Defra: Farm Business Survey Farm Practices Survey June Agricultural and Horticultural Survey-Census (JASC) British Survey of Fertiliser Practice Straw survey British Cattle Movement Service (BCMS) GB Poultry Register Sheep and goat survey IACS Data from industry: AHDB Benchmarking data (DairyCo, EBLEX, HGCA) Consultancy data (Promar, Kingshay, AB Sustain, E-CO 2 project) Farm certification data (LEAF, Soil Association database) & InveN2Ory 2 ResearCH 4 Synthesis
14 Tracking uptake of explicit mitigation measures: Data gaps in red Base diet change (e.g. use of maize or whole-crop silage concentrate feed rates): Promar and E-CO 2 project data EBLEX business pointers and experts for beef and sheep Use of fat supplements, lower crude protein diet formation Genetic Potential (breed): BCMS Fertiliser Management: Use of nitrification inhibitors Use of urease inhibitors Fertiliser Placement: Percent of fertiliser incorporated or directly placed into the soil Soil Management: Use of minimum tillage, zero tillage, clover and cover crops: FPS and SAPM Field drainage type and condition & InveN2Ory 2 ResearCH 4 Synthesis
15 Tracking uptake of explicit mitigation measures: Manure and slurry in storage Slurry and FYM storage some limited data in FPS and SAPM does not describe the type of cover Dairy cattle: daily washing down of collecting yards Active composting, aeration, cooling, solid separation Poultry: Manure drying method (house heat exchange or belt removal) Poultry: use of Alum additives Poultry: incineration of manure Pigs: frequent removal of pig slurry (vacuum pump) Pigs and poultry use of Air Scrubbers and Bio-Filters Manure and slurry application - Slurry application techniques (e.g. use of band spreader or injector) Manure and slurry incorporation Incorporation delay FPS and SAPM No detail on method of incorporation (plough, disc or tine) & InveN2Ory 2 ResearCH 4 Synthesis
16 Gap filling with expert opinion: diets for beef and sheep Suggestions for industry experts in England and Wales? & InveN2Ory 2 ResearCH 4 Synthesis
17 Summary: Representative detailed dairy data Benchmarking data possibly limited by only capturing the more proactive producers Limited data on diets for beef (i.e. concentrate only and no CP estimate) Limited data on fertiliser, manure and slurry management Possible to address gaps through adding questions to national surveys plus expert opinion your assistance for both of these tasks would be appreciated! & InveN2Ory 2 ResearCH 4 Synthesis
