How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Number of head, Average weight (lbs), and Animal type (0=Beef, 1=Dairy, 2=Swine, 3=Poultry, 4=Sheep).
- Set Days in operation, Barn space per head (sq ft), and Carbon credit price ($/tonne CO2e).
- Review the Total CO2e (tonnes/year) result.
- Use Methane per head (kg CH4/yr) and Total methane (kg CH4/yr) to inform your decision.
