| - | For NH3 there are many reasons for very different emissions compared to last year’s submission. For dairy cows the new methodology to claculate N and TAN excretions (see main page of the agricultural sector **recalculation No. 3**) results in general in lower emissions. The upward correction of historic milk yields (**recalculation No. 4**) results in higher emissions. In combination these two recalculations result in lower emissions, especially in more recent years. The subdivision of the sows category in gilts and old sows (**recalculation No. 5**) is the main reason for lower emissions from swine. The adjusted N excretion for horses after 2010 (**recalculation No. 6**) is the main reason for higher emissions from other animals. The addition of substrate transports to biogas plants (**recalculation No. 1**) has a smaller impact on emissions than the other recalculations. This recalculation is the main reason for the changes for emissions from other cattle and poultry but it also affects dairy cattle and swine emissions. Many of the other recalculations have much smaller effects. Overall, the changes result in lower emissions compared with last year’s submission. | + | For NH3 there are many reasons for very different emissions compared to last year’s submission.
