How do I run a carbon calculation for eggs?

Begin from Sandy's Homepage. Then click into Sustainability on the left-hand side. Next, select Carbon, and finally Carbon Calculator. Click +Start new calculation.

Insert your parameters for this specific carbon calculation. To run a footprint for eggs, select Specific enterprises, and then check the box for Eggs.

You can run a footprint for a single farm only - select Specific farms, and then check the box for the relevant farm(s). This is useful if you have more than one egg-producing system on multiple farms, and you wish to only calculate the carbon footprint of one of them. Click Next.

Next, click +Add data under the livestock heading, then open up the Egg subsection. Here you are presented with 5 headings and you must insert the data here. In turn, click each of these headings and provide the data requested.
