The Carbon Farming Initiative and Agricultural Emissions This presentation was prepared by the University of Melbourne for the Regional Landcare Facilitator training funded through the Australian Government’s Carbon Farming Initiative Communications Program

This presentation explains the carbon cycle in animal production systems and the various pools of carbon PART 2: ANIMAL CARBON CYCLE

Grazing system carbon cycle Content –The carbon cycle in animal production systems and the various pools of carbon –Fluxes between carbon pools –Some terms: Hydrogen (H 2 ), Carbon (C), Oxygen (O 2 ), Nitrogen (N) Methane (CH 4 ), carbohydrate (CHO), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), water (H 2 O), bicarbonate (HCO 3 ) Nitrate (NO 3 - ), Nitrite (NO 2 - ), Ammonia (NH 3 ), Ammonium (NH 4 + ), nitrous oxide (N 2 O)

Grazing system carbon cycle Atmosphere Animal Plant Soil Eckard 2011

Grazing system carbon cycle Carbon into plants –Photosynthesis CO 2 + H 2 O + chlorophyll + solar energy -> CHO + O 2 Structural carbohydrate –Cellulose, hemi-cellulose, lignin Non-structural carbohydrate –Sugars Fats/ Lipids Protein/amino acids Carbon from plants –Respiration Burning sugars - energy for growth O 2 + CHO -> H 2 O + CO 2 + energy –Decay of plant residues Mineralisation to CO 2

Grazing system carbon cycle

Carbon into the animal Structural carbohydrate –Cellulose, hemi-cellulose, lignin Non-structural carbohydrate –Sugars Fats/ Lipids Protein/amino acids Carbon from the animal As above in products (meat, milk, fibre) CH 4 and CO 2 – microbial digestion and respiration
