58  Livestock baseline B—requirements
 (1) The emissions from livestock for the first year of the project for each relevant carbon estimation area must be calculated using the following formula, where the sum is over all livestock groups gijk that have been defined in accordance with subsection 50(2):
Note: Some livestock groups will not be characterised in terms of their livestock class (j) or their season (k).
  Equation LS4

      Where:

 =  total emissions from livestock during the first year Y of the project in carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e.
 =  number of animals in livestock group gijk that were within carbon estimation area A in the first year Y of the project; livestock head.
  =  number of days in project year Y that livestock group gijk was within carbon estimation area A; days.
 =  default emission factor for livestock group gijk, as set out in Tables 1–4 of the Standard Parameters and Emissions Factors; kg CO2-e / livestock head / day.
 (2) The stocking rate for the first year of the project for each relevant carbon estimation area must be calculated in accordance with the process for establishing carrying capacity specified in subsection 57(2) and using the following formula:

             =  stocking rate of the carbon estimation area A for the first year Y of the project; animal units.

 (3) The annual baseline emissions from livestock for each relevant carbon estimation area must be calculated using the following formula:
  Equation LS5

      Where:

  =  mean (assumed) annual livestock emissions for the baseline emissions period for carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e / y.
  =  assessed annual carrying capacity of carbon estimation area A; animal units.
  =  stocking rate of carbon estimation area A for the first year Y of the project; animal units.
 =  total emissions from livestock during the first year of the project in carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e / y.
 (4) The tolerance margin for the annual livestock emissions during the baseline emissions period for each relevant carbon estimation area must be calculated using the following formula:
  Equation LS6

      Where:

  =  tolerance margin for the baseline emissions period for carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e / y.
  =  mean (assumed) annual livestock emissions for the baseline emissions period for carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e / y.
 0.1 =  tolerance margin of 10% (expressed as a decimal).
