56  Livestock baseline A—requirements
 (1) If accounting for livestock emissions using livestock baseline A, the total emissions from livestock during each year of the baseline emissions period 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 LS1

      Where:

 =  total emissions from livestock during year B of the baseline emissions period in carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e.
 =  number of animals in livestock group gijk within carbon estimation area A in year B of the baseline emissions period; livestock head.
  =  number of days in year B of the baseline emissions period 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.
 B =  year of the baseline emissions period, being 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
 (2) The mean annual emissions from livestock during the baseline emissions period for each relevant carbon estimation area must be calculated using the following formula:
  Equation LS2

      Where:

 =  mean annual emissions from livestock during the baseline emissions period in carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e / y.
 =  total emissions from livestock during year B of the baseline emissions period in carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e / y.
 B =  year of the baseline emissions period being 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
 (3) The standard deviation of the annual livestock emissions for the baseline emissions period for each relevant carbon estimation area must be calculated using the following formula:
  Equation LS3

      Where:

  =  standard deviation of the annual livestock emissions for the baseline emissions period for carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e / y.
 =  total emissions from livestock during year B of the baseline emissions period in carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e / y.
 =  mean annual emissions from livestock during the baseline emissions period in carbon estimation area A; t CO2-e / y.
 B =  year of the baseline emissions period being year 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
