MSU Greenhouse Gas Calculators for Sheep Operations
Michigan State University’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) calculator lets producers estimate their operation’s greenhouse gas emissions using IPCC-based equations.
Two versions are available: one for intensive/housed operations and one for range/grazing systems. Enter your flock size, diet, housing, and production stages to generate your emissions profile.
Step-by-step instructions are included in the manual, and embedded comments guide you through each Excel worksheet. The calculators are locked — only enter your farm records — and results are summarized clearly for easy interpretation.
