Dear all, <br>
<br>
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;<br>
<ul><li>Dairy: 83% pasture, 5% daily spread, 6% burnt for fuel 4%
other</li></ul>
<ul><li>Other cattle: 1% dry lot, 95% pasture, 1% daily spread, 3%
burnt for fuel </li></ul>
<ul><li>Pigs: 6% liquid slurry, 6% solid storage, 87% dry lot, 1% pit</li></ul>
<br>
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? <br>
<br>
Thank you very much<br>
