Description

This quantification protocol is applicable to the quantification of direct and indirect reductions of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the implementation of two kinds of innovative practices on swine farms. First, the protocol quantifies greenhouse gas reductions achieved by feed substituting practices that decrease emissions. Second, the protocol quantifies reductions associated with pig husbandry practices that increase efficiency by generating less manure per unit of pigs raised.

Description

Ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions from soils with manure application have potential impacts on air quality and greenhouse effects. This report evaluates the measurement schemes and describes the development of measuring protocols for ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions from soil treated with cattle or hog manure, and consists of theoretical considerations for a new equation and its application.
