Table notes

  • Average weight is rounded to 3 significant digits.
  • Manure production numbers are rounded to 4 decimal places.
  • Manure production and dry matter entries marked “N/A” indicate a non-typical housing process.
  • Livestock housing capacity is rounded to 2 decimal places if it is above 0.2 m2/animal, and 3 decimal places if it is below 0.2 m2/animal.
  • Livestock housing capacity values marked “N/A” indicate that information is not available.
  • Livestock density is based on barn area only for a housing system (outdoor yard is not included).
  • Livestock housing capacity numbers are used to develop an estimated barn size.

If the farm unit has more than one type of farm animal present on it, then this calculation would have to be completed for each type of animal separately, then all the results totaled to give the total nutrient units (NU) generated by farm animals on the farm.
