The cumulative greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from any human activity are commonly referred to as the carbon footprint. The Poultry Carbon Footprint Calculation Tool was developed and designed specifically for poultry production farms. The tool can be used to estimate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from pullet, breeder, and broiler grow-out farms. This publication provides an overview for poultry producers on how to use the tool and gives recommended applications. The tool can be downloaded at: http://www.poultry.uga.edu/extension/documents/GHGCalculationTool.xlsm
