[Digestion] Manure management

[Vianney Tumwesige]

Dear all,

Please are any of you able to help me on the following question.  According
to the 2006 IPCC Green House Gas Inventory Guidelines, c.90% of manure
management in Africa is pasture and or burnt for fuel, as opposed to wet
storage of slurry in lagoons etc. These guidelines use figures from a 1992
paper.  The breakdown is as follows;

   - Dairy: 83% pasture, 5% daily spread, 6% burnt for fuel 4% other


   - Other cattle: 1% dry lot, 95% pasture, 1% daily spread, 3% burnt for
   fuel


   - Pigs: 6% liquid slurry, 6% solid storage, 87% dry lot, 1% pit


Please could any of you let me know if you have any more up to date
references and is there any indication of average number of animals per
livestock owner?

Thank you very much
