6 Livestock Population and Feed Characterization

7 Livestock Characterization Decision tree for livestock population characterisation Identify livestock species applicable to each emission category. Review the emission estimation method for each relevant source category. Identify the most detailed characterisation required for each livestock.

8 Livestock Characterization (tire 1) Basic characterization (for tire 1) comprises: List of animal species Dairy cow, other cattle, sheep, goats, layers (poultry), broilers etc. Annual population data, by species National stats. & industry sources (preferred), or FAO Typical Animal Mass (TAM) / Weight (W) in kg.

9 Livestock Characterization (tire 2) Enhanced Characterization (for tire 2) comprises: in addition basic data listed above Disaggregation of animal species into subcategories based on age, gender, animal production type (table 10.1, 2006 IPCC) Average annual milk production of dairy cows. (high and low producing) Average daily feed intake for subcategory, either measured in terms of gross energy (MJ/day) or dry matter (kg/day) Used in the tier 2 enteric fermentation emissions for cattle, buffalo and sheep

11 Livestock Characterization (tire 2) Enhanced Characterization (for tire 2) comprises: in addition basic data listed above Disaggregation of animal species into subcategories based on age, gender, animal production type (table 10.1, 2006 IPCC) Average annual milk production of dairy cows. (high and low producing) Average daily feed intake for subcategory, either measured in terms of gross energy (MJ/day) or dry matter (kg/day) Used in the tier 2 enteric fermentation emissions for cattle, buffalo and sheep

12 Livestock Characterization Feed Intake Enhanced Characterization Use country specific methods to estimate feed, intake if available. Generally, data on average daily feed intake are not available, particularly for grazing livestock. Therefore, data presented in the next slides should be collected. Simplified Tier 2 method for feed intake: It also possible to predict dry matter intake (DMI) for mature and growing cattle based on body weight of the animal and either the dietary net energy concentration (NEma) concentration of the feed (NRC, 1996) or diggestable energy expressed as % of gross energy (DE%)

16 Methane Emissions from Enteric Fermentation

17 Methane Emissions from Enteric Fermentation Source of Emissions Source: FAO, Mitigation of enteric methane emissions from ruminant animals, 2016.

18 Enteric Fermentation Decision Tree for CH 4 Emissions from Enteric Fermentation Ruminant livestock (e.g. cattle, buffalo, sheep) are major sources of CH4. Generally, the higher the feed intake, the higher the methane emission. Emissions should only be considered from animals under domestic management (e.g., farmed deer, elk, and buffalo).

24 Manure Management Decision Tree for CH 4 Emissions from Manure Management Main factors affecting CH4 emissions are: Amount of manure produced (rate of waste production per animal and the number of animals); Portion of the manure that decomposes anaerobically (manure management method and climate).

32 Extract from IPCC 2006, Table Manure Management System Definitions System Definition Pasture/Range/Paddock Daily spread Solid storage Dry lot Liquid/Slurry Uncovered anaerobic lagoon The manure from pasture and range grazing animals is allowed to lie as deposited, and is not managed. Manure is routinely removed from a confinement facility and is applied to cropland or pasture within 24 hours of excretion. The storage of manure, typically for a period of several months, in unconfined piles or stacks. Manure is able to be stacked due to the presence of a sufficient amount of bedding material or loss of moisture by evaporation. A paved or unpaved open confinement area without any significant vegetative cover where accumulating manure may be removed periodically. Manure is stored as excreted or with some minimal addition of water in either tanks or earthen ponds outside the animal housing, usually for periods less than one year. A type of liquid storage system designed and operated to combine waste stabilization and storage. Lagoon supernatant is usually used to remove manure from the associated confinement facilities to the lagoon. Anaerobic lagoons are designed with varying lengths of storage (up to a year or greater), depending on the climate region, the volatile solids loading rate, and other operational factors. The water from the lagoon may be recycled as flush water or used to irrigate and fertilise fields.

For example, the use of country-specific nitrogen excretion rates for livestock categories would constitute a Tier 2 method. A Tier 2 method would require more detailed characterisation of the flow of nitrogen throughout the animal housing and manure management systems used in the country. Nitrogen is also lost through runoff and leaching into soils from the solid storage of manure at outdoor areas, in feedlots and where animals are grazing in pastures.

53 Coordination with reporting for N 2 O emissions with other source categories

54 Coordination with reporting for N 2 O emissions from managed soils Following storage or treatment in any system of manure management, nearly all the manure will be applied to land. Subsequent N2O emissions arise from managed soils. (reported under chapter 11, section 11.2) A significant proportion of the total nitrogen excreted by animals in managed systems is lost prior to final application to managed soils (or for use as feed, fuel, or for construction purposes). Therefor, it is necessary to reduce the total amount of nitrogen excreted by animals in managed systems by the losses of N through volatilisation (i.e., NH3, N2 and NOx), conversion to N2O and losses through leaching and runoff.
