The facts
68 - 76 %
Feed
share of carbon footprint
Feed is the largest emitter
Purchased feed - grains and especially soy - dominate emissions.
14 - 25 %
Manure Management
share of carbon footprint
Manure Management
is the second lever
Good or bad manure management makes the difference in emissions.
4 - 5 %
Enteric fermentation
share of carbon footprint
The proportion of enteric fermentation is small
This is clearly different from ruminants - methane is not the main player here.
*) Based on a closed pig farm with 250 sows and finishing (case study Farmdesk).
