https://www.selleckchem.com/products/OSI-906.html Globally, animal excreta (dung and urine) deposition onto grazed pastures represents more than half of anthropogenic nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. To account for these emissions, New Zealand currently employs urine and dung emission factor (EF3) values of 1.0% and 0.25%, respectively, for all livestock. These values are primarily based on field studies conducted on fertile, flatland pastures predominantly used for dairy cattle production but do not consider emissions from hill land pastures primarily used for sheep, deer and non-dairy cattle. The objective of this study was to determine the most suitable urine and dung EF3 values for dairy cattle, non-dairy cattle, and sheep grazing pastures on different slopes based on a meta-analysis of New Zealand EF3 studies. As none of the studies included deer excreta, deer EF3 values were estimated from cattle and sheep values. The analysis revealed that a single dung EF3 value should be maintained, although the value should be reduced from 0.25% to 0.12%. Furthermore, urine EF3 should be disaggregated by livestock type (cattle > sheep) and topography (flatland and low sloping hill country > medium and steep sloping hill country), with EF3 values ranging from 0.08% (sheep urine on medium and steep slopes) to 0.98% (dairy cattle on flatland and low slopes). While the mechanism(s) causing differences in urine EF3 values for sheep and cattle are unknown, the 'slope effect' on urine EF3 is partly due to differences in soil chemical and physical characteristics, which influence soil microbial processes on the different slope classes. The revised EF3 values were used in an updated New Zealand inventory approach, resulting in 30% lower national N2O emissions for 2017 compared to using the current EF3 values. We recommend using the revised EF3 values in New Zealand's national greenhouse gas inventory to more accurately capture N2O emissions from livestock grazing.Data from 38,105 wel
