6.2.3 Time-series consistency
The total emission from enteric fermentation is given in Table 6.8. From 1990 to 2003 the emission
has decreased by 12%, which is primarily related to a decrease in the number of dairy cattle from
753,000 in 1990 to 596,000 in 2003. The number of pigs has increased from 9.5 M in 1990 to 12.9 M
in 2003, but this increase is only of minor importance to the total emission.

6.3 CH 4 and N 2O emission from Manure Management (CRF Sector 4B)
6.3.1 Description
The emissions of CH and N O from manure management are given in CRF Table 4.B (a) and 4.B
4 2
(b). This source contributes with 16% of the total emission from the agricultural sector in 2003 and
the major part of the emission originates from the production of swine (56%) followed by the cattle
production (34%). The remaining part is mainly from poultry (7%).
