	In answer to concerns over greenhouse gas emissions from swine confined feeding operations, the Canadian Pork Council funded a Best Management Practices for Greenhouse Gas Reduction study. The study was completed by DGH Engineering. The study was conducted to identify, implement and demonstrate best management practices that reduce emissions. Study results show that best management practices translate into savings in energy, water and nutrients and into a total reduction in emissions of 2.92 tonnes of CO2 per 800 pigs. The study demonstrated best management practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provides practical direction to farmers on how they can incorporate best management practices into their operations. Study results have been posted on the DGH website and on the Canadian Pork Council website.
