57  Livestock baseline B—general
 (1) If accounting for livestock emissions using livestock baseline B, an assessment of carrying capacity for the relevant carbon estimation area must be obtained from the relevant government body.
 (2) The carrying capacity must:
 (a) be expressed as a total number of animal units; and
 (b) have regard to any available property-specific data; and
 (c) be based on:
 (i) the recommended pasture utilisation rate for the relevant district; and
 (ii) an assessment that the carrying capacity is sustainable over a minimum of 10 years; and
 (iii) the assumption that annual rainfall will be at the 10 year average for that district.
 (3) An auditable description of the process that was used to calculate the carrying capacity of the relevant carbon estimation area must be obtained from the relevant government body.
 (4) For the purpose of calculating livestock emissions using livestock baseline B:
            = assessed annual carrying capacity of carbon estimation area ; animal units.
