1 Measurement method of GHG emission from ruminants and manure management Osamu ENISHI Takashi OSADA Nti National linstitute t of Livestock and Grassland dsi Science Livestock Research Team on Global Warming

2 A difference of energy intake and output tis accumulated dto a body.

3 1.Measurement method of methane emission from ruminants. 2. Calculation method of methane emission i from ruminant in Japan.

4 Many current inventories for enteric methane production are based on measurements of emission rates from ruminants in several methods. Several methods are 1. Open circuit respiration chamber 2. Gas mask method 3SF6 3. method 4. In vitro method

5 Many current inventories for enteric CH4 production are based on measurements of emission rates from animals in open circuit respiration chamber in strictly controlled environments.

6 Open circuit respiration apparatus For goat and sheep For cattle

7 Gas analyzer O2 CO2 CH4 Concentrate(%) After respiration Before respiration Inlet air Teflon tube placed for sampling inlet air Outlet air Flow volume Computer system automatic a feeder Automatic feeder Air conditioner Ports for canister connection Chamber volume Temperature Humidity Pressure O2 consumption CO2 CH4 production Heat production Waste chute Feces and urine sampling digestibility energy and nitrogen balance

8 Gas analyzer O2 CO2 CH4 Concentrate(%) It controls the respiration trial ilof fh the chamber and ventilated hood Gas sampling Chamber for cattle, goat and sheep. Computer system Analysis of obtained data was performed dby computer system. O2 CO2 CH4 production Heat production

9 Method for Estimation Current Methane Emission Methane emissions i from livestock in Japan are estimated by: 1)Dividing idi animals into animal group and collecting population data 2)Collecting dry matter intake of each animal group 3)Estimate methane emission by Shibata s equation (Methane production(l/day) = DMI DMI ) DMI:Dry matter intake(kg/day) 4) Multiplying the population by estimate methane emission for each animal group 5)Summing emissions across animalgroup

10 Prediction of methane emission from enteric fermentation in Japan Methan e produc ction(l/d day) y = x x Dry matter intake(kg) Shibata et al.(1993)

11 Method for Estimation Current Methane Emission Dividing animals into animal group Collecting dry matter intake(dmi) of each animal group Estimate methane emission by Shibata s equation (Methane production(l/day) = DMI DMI ) Multiplying l i the population by estimate methane emission for each animal group Collecting population data Summing emissions across animal group

12 For next step 1Ii 1. It is important to develop the technology needed to estimate CH4 emission accurately from ruminant and practically method to reduce the amounts of CH4. 2. Evaluation and a prediction i of global warming impact on animal production.

13 GHG emission from Manure management Manure is a source of organic fertilizer and unfortunately, a source of CH4 and N2O emission. Unsuitable management will offset the validity of resource circulation by an environmental impact called greenhouse-gases g generating. g Measurement systems are important for the development of regulation technology. Not only that, It is useful also for your judgment which technology should be introduced for this issue resolution into your country.

14 GHG measurement systems for manure treatment Pit Storage of daily cattle slurry Composting (Forced ) of hens feces 3.9% CH4 g/g ggvs 0.14 % CH4 g/g ggvs 0.1% N2O-N g/g TN E = Σ(EFn ( An) 0.25% N2O-N g/g TN E: Methane emissions i from manure treatment t t (g-ch4) EFn: Emission factor for treatment method n (g-ch4/g-organic matter); An: Amount of organic matter in manure treated by method n (g-organic matter). Composting (Depo. ) of daily cattle feces Wastewater M. of pig waste 3.8% CH4 g/g VS 2.4% N2O-N g/g TN 0.019% CH4 g/g VS 5.0 % N2O-N g/g TN

15 we are going to measure GHG at several location of Japan with this system. Tsukuba, Science city stay many researcher closed to Tokyo. Manure of the four major livestock, dairy cattle, beef cattle, fattening pig and poultry, were collected and evaluated under the ordinarily moisture contents of piled manure on Japanese farms. Okayama prefecture, located western part and many beef cattle bread. Kumamoto prefecture, southern part of Japan many chicken and cattle bread. Hokkaido located northern part of Japan.

16 NH 3,N 2 O and CH 4 emission during composting of each livestock manure -result- -NH3-N g/kg N - or N2O-N g/kg N - or CH4 g/kg VS (units) Pig Beef Dairy Cattle Cattle Poultry

17 Conclusion of manure management We developed a system for the quantitative measurement of emissions from composting using a large dynamic chamber in an experiment. Not only the compost, but the emission factor of each treatment system should be evaluated under each countries procedure and general conditions, because those factors might be widely varied. It is important that each country has the measurement technique of GHG emission, not only for inventory data but for the development of greenhouse gas regulations and technologies. (Country-specific emission factor, please)
