How do I add livestock data to my carbon calculation?

Using the livestock module video:

To onboard your livestock directly in the carbon calculator, you need to provide only annual figures. This data will not transfer back into onboarding and setup, but can be replicated to new carbon footprints.

Note: Please ensure that all of your arable onboarding is completed within setup if you are onboarding arable. Please also ensure that your arable carbon data is completed within setup.

Livestock Onboarding Instructions – Annual Carbon Data

• From the Sandy onboarding setup section, click Home to head to the Sandy home page

Step 6

• From here, click into and complete the highlighted sections e.g. Milk production, Herd etc.

• As within our arable carbon set up, you will notice we have required, encouraged and optional data sections

• The more encouraged and optional data that you provide, the more accurate your results

• If you do not hold some of the information asked, please select the Use defaultbox, and remember to Save each section once completed

Step 7

• Within the Feed and Manure section, where applicable please select the Go to feed module button at the bottom of the pop-out window

• Here you can view our default mix make-ups and even create your own - we highly recommend making your own to improve accuracy

Once you have completed and saved each section, you will be able to run your carbon footprint.

You can replicate your carbon footprint and livestock data from within when creating a new footprint.
