Recent findingsIntroduction
Chicken- 2.36 kg CO2e/kg of product at farm gate
Beef- 14.8 kg CO2e/kg of product at farm gate
Pork- 3.4-4.2 kg CO2e/kg of product at farm gate (Pelletier, 2010)
(Pelletier et al., 2010)

• Broiler Complex– 627 houses were tested:
• Broiler- 87 farms, 538 houses
• Breeder- 15 farms, 55 houses
• Pullet- 7 farms, 34 houses
• Layer Complex– 12 house in-line complex

Data Collection and Evaluation
• Survey distributed to growers • Survey questions included:
– Electricity usage– Propane use– Diesel oil use– Age of house– Construction of house– Number of birds raised each year, etc.– Refrigerant use
• GHG emissions estimated using IPPC spreadsheets some of which were pre-populated with emission factors.

Reducing GHG emissions
• Reducing energy use will also reduce the amount of GHGs that is emitted
• Reduction must to be done on a farm by farm basis
• Reduce propane use by preventing heat loss;– Enclose houses that are
not solid walls– Insulate curtain openings,
walls and ceiling

Reducing GHG emissions- mechanical
• Use the attic area as a solar energy collector;– Install attic outlets
• Use more efficient equipment such as;– Fans, generators, lighting, heaters
• Maintenance of equipment;– Clean fans– Clean outlets/inlets– Change fan belts as needed
![Page 21: Estimation of on farm ghg emissions from poultry houses-waste to worth](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/54625a99b4af9f6c1c8b46de/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Reducing GHG emissions- Manure Management
1. Manure handled as a solid or spread on land, decompose aerobically and produce little or no CH4
2. Proper management of bedding (indoor) and manure heaps (in storage sheds) will reduce GHG emissions • Avoid prolonged litter storage to reduce CH4 emissions• Minimize compaction• Frequent addition of litter• Keep litter dry and covered from the elements
![Page 22: Estimation of on farm ghg emissions from poultry houses-waste to worth](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/54625a99b4af9f6c1c8b46de/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
1. Add nitrification inhibitors to reduce NH3 emissions
2. Addition of high carbon substrate to manure heaps
3. Compaction of manure heap to reduce aeration
4. N2O emission from poultry litter is higher than synthetic fertilizer…but,
5. Applying poultry litter to agricultural fields off-sets 10% energy use and 1% GHG emissions (Pelletier et al., 2010)

Research Opportunities
– Actual CH4 and N20 emissions from poultry houses and stack houses
– Emissions from poultry litter application to crop lands
– Carbon sequestration from poultry litter application
– Emissions factors from enteric fermentation for birds.
