GLEAM - Global Livestock Environment Assessment Model
A GIS tool initially developed to improve the understanding of GHG emissions in livestock supply chains, extended to natural resource use efficiency: feed, land use, nitrogen…
• Life Cycle Assessment modelling, all steps of production, all major sources of emissions
• Computes livestock production and IPCC Tier 2 emissions at local level (cells on a map)
• Can generate averages and ranges at different scales
• Allows for scenario analysis and assessment of mitigation options
• Developed at FAO, in collaboration with other partners

• IPCC (2006) Tier 2 requires the animal population to be categorized into distinct cohorts (types, weights, phase of production…)
But data on animal herd structure generally not available
GLEAM herd module : 6 cohorts
Key production parameters:
mortality, fertility, growth and replacement
rates, age or weight at which animals transfer
between categories (e.g. age at first
parturition); duration of key periods (e.g.
gestation), and the ratio of breeding females
to males.

• Calculation of animal energy requirement for each cohort (system module)
IPCC (2006) Tier 2 (Equations 10.3 to 10.13)
Gross energy requirement = maintenance + lactation and pregnancy + animal activity + weight gain and production.
IPCC (2006) does not include equations for calculating the energy requirement of pigs or poultry
Equations derived from NRC (1998) for pigs, Sakomura (2004) for chickens
• Calculation of feed intake, total feed emissions and land use
Feed intake of each animal category (in kg DM/day) animal’s energy requirement / average energy content of the ration (feed module)
GLEAM feed module

• Calculation of CH4 emissions arising enteric fermentation (Tier 2)
IPCC (2006) provides default enteric methane conversion factor, Ym (% of gross energy converted to methane)
GLEAM has specific Ym to reflect the wide-ranging diet quality and feeding characteristics globally:
𝑌𝑚 𝐶𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒 = 9.75 − 0.05 ∙ 𝐷𝐸
𝑌𝑚 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑠ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑝 = 9.75 − 0.05 ∙ 𝐷𝐸 𝑌𝑚 𝑙𝑎𝑚𝑏<1 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟 = 7.75 − 0.05 ∙ 𝐷𝐸
where DE = feed digestibility of the ration
CH4 emission factor:
𝐸𝐹𝐶𝐻4 = 365 ∙ 𝐺𝐸 ∙ 𝑌𝑚 100 55.65

• CH4 emissions arising during manure management (Tier 2)
Volatile solids excretion rates: Equation 10.24 IPCC (2006)
Proportion of the volatile solids converted to CH4 during manure management: Equation 10.23 IPCC (2006)
CH4 conversion factor: IPCC (2006, Table 10A-7)
Proportion of manure managed in each system: official statistics (such as the Annex 1 countries’ National Inventory Reports to the UNFCC), other literature sources and expert judgement. IPCC systems challenging.
• N2O emissions arising during manure management (Tier 2)
N excretion : Equation 10.31 IPCC (2006) as the difference between intake and retention. N-intake depends on the feed dry matter intake and the N content per kg of feed.
Rate of conversion of excreted N to N2O: IPCC (2006) default emission factors for direct N2O (Table 10.21, IPCC 2006) and indirect via volatilization (Table 10.22, IPCC 2006) + variable leaching rates, depending on the AEZ

Diversity in livestock production systems is a challenge for GHG emissions reporting
and an opportunity for mitigation

The sector could cut down its emissions by 30%
with already available technologies and practices
while maintaining or improving production

• Calculate emissions from livestock supply chains at national, regional, global levels and by species and type of production systems
• Ex-ante assessment of technical interventions in the livestock sector (e.g. vaccination campaigns, feed quality improvements etc.)
• Support the design of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (e.g. productivity gains in dairy production in Kenya)
• Support the formulation of investment proposals for CSA (e.g. Ecuador, Niger, Zambia, Malawi, with GCF formulation)
• Cost-benefit assessment of mitigation options: Mitigation Abatements Cost Curves (spatially explicit)

GLEAM-i (interactive) • Publicly available, user-friendly tool for
calculating emissions using IPCC Tier 2 methods in a single Excel file
• Designed to support governments, project planners and civil society organizations
• Can be used in the preparation of national inventories and in ex-ante evaluation of projects with interventions in livestock
