pigs, bovines and poultry) were 4.5 per cent of the UK total emissions or 8.07 million tonnes of carbon equivalent (MtCe)
in 2005. This was made up of: 5.03 MtCe of methane (of which 86 per cent was from enteric fermentation in the an-
imals' digestive systems and about 14 per cent from manure management); 0.96 MtCe of nitrous oxide emission from
manure management; and 2.08 MtCe of nitrous oxide emissions from grazing and crop production for livestock feed.”
