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?
