Have records of movement of organic fertiliser (record 3) for the reporting year been submitted to DAFM? Column a The total organic fertiliser storage capacity is calculated by summing storage capacity onsite. If applicable, Agency agreed off-site storage should be added to the total on-site. Column b This is the opening quantity of organic fertiliser recorded on 1 st of January of AER reporting year Column c This is the quantity of organic fertiliser at close of reporting year calculated by recording the opening quantity on 1 st January of the current calendar year Column d This is the quantity of organic fertiliser generated by the animals housed on site in the AER reporting year Column e Total quantity of organic fertiliser moved off site and recorded in the organic fertiliser register and "record 3" as submitted to DAFM* in AER reporting year Column f If there is a difference between the amount recorded in the Record 3 form submitted (e)and the amount recorded by adding together the opening quantity (b) and amount generated (d) and substracting the closing quantity (c) i.e. if e does not match b + d - c, account for the mistmatch, for example where the unit is applying organic fertiliser on their own landbank

Stock counts on a monthly basis can be added and the total divided by 12 for each animal class. If stock counts are only available for lesser frequencies, i.e quarterly, then the average of these counts should be used to give the annual stock figures HOUSING STORAGE FORM OF MANURE STORAGE Enter PIG NUMBERS in each class: Enter surface area of OUTDOOR UNCOVERED STORAGE Enter the form of Manure Storage data entry: (see Surface Area Calculation for a simple tool for this purpose) data entry: Class Pig Number / year data entry: Enter Yes in Suckling sow+litter 41 Unit number Surface Area m² Does the facility employ: appropriate box: Dry sow 295 Slurry storage 1 Liquid Manure Storage: YES Boars 4 Slurry storage 2 Solid Manure storage: Maiden gilts 34 Slurry storage 3 (Note: the default assumption is Liquid Storage) Weaners (7 to 35 kg) 1,379 Slurry storage 4 Finishers (35 to 98 kg) 2,399 Others Total 0 Data Output Table Pig Farms The following table provides the output data in the appropriate format for reporting via the "Releases to Air" Worksheet of the EPA Electronic AER Reporting Workbook The information must be entered manually; do NOT attempt to use the Cut or Copy methods for this task.
