About this manual

The purpose of all emission estimation technique (EET) manuals in this series is to assist Australian manufacturing, industrial and service facilities to report emissions of listed substances to the National Pollutant Inventory (NPI).

This manual describes the procedures and recommended approaches for estimating emissions from facilities engaged in the operation of beef cattle feedlots. A beef feedlot is a confined area with watering and feeding facilities where cattle are completely hand or mechanically fed for the purpose of production (ARMCANZ, 1997).

Feedlot operations consist of a number of activities including feedstock storage, feeding systems, animal housing, disposal of biological matter, waste removal/storage and waste treatment.

In general, there are four types of emission estimation technique (EET) that may be used to estimate emissions from a facility.
