Summary
Abstract Manure application to land and deposition of urine and dung by grazing animals are major sources of ammonia (NH 3 ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions. Using data on NH 3 and N 2 O emissions following land‐applied manures and excreta deposited during grazing, emission factors (EFs) disaggregated by climate zone were developed, and the effects of mitigation strategies were evaluated. The NH 3 data represent emissions from cattle and swine manures in temperate wet climates, and the N 2 O data include cattle, sheep, and swine manure emissions in temperate wet/dry and tropical wet/dry climates. The NH 3 EFs for broadcast cattle solid manure and slurry were 0.03 and 0.24 kg NH 3 –N kg –1 total N (TN), respectively, whereas the NH 3 EF of broadcast swine slurry was 0.29. Emissions from
