The outputs shall mostly be the nutrients in crops and forage harvested or grazed, but also in the manure withdrawals and removal of crop residues not returned to the soil.
2. The net nitrogen balance shall be defined as the gross nutrient balance for nitrogen from which the nitrogen emissions from the soil and manure management are deducted.
3. The Commission (Eurostat) shall annually calculate these nutrient balances, based on
(a)
data sets provided as described in Annex I and Annex II;
(b)

ANNEX III
METHODOLOGICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Data set ii.6 — Livestock nutrient excretion coefficients
(1)
A gross excretion coefficient (i.e. not excluding volatilisation) shall be calculated for each of the livestock categories required in the data set.
(2)
The excretion coefficients shall be calculated according to a mass balance approach that is common for all Member States. The mass balance means that the nutrient excretion is calculated from the nutrient intake via feed minus the nutrient retention in animal products according to the formula:
X excretion = X intake – X retention
Where:
—
“X” stands for the nutrient (N – nitrogen or P – phosphorus);
—
“excretion” stands for the total excretion (faeces and urine) of the nutrient (kg per animal head per year);
—
“intake” stands for the total nutrient intake via livestock feed (kg per animal head per year);
—
“retention” stands for the total amounts of the nutrient retained in milk, meat, egg, wool, etc., (kg per animal head per year).
For each livestock category the following four building blocks can be distinguished in this mass balance: the feed intake, the feed composition (i.e. the nitrogen and phosphorus content of the feed), the livestock production and the composition of the livestock products (i.e. the nutrient contents).
(3)
The livestock categories for which excretion coefficients are calculated have direct correspondence to those listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2745 of 8 December 2023 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) 2022/2379 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards animal production statistics. The excretion coefficients shall allow assessing the nutrient inputs based on the livestock numbers transmitted to Eurostat within the framework of this regulation. These numbers represent either:
—
The livestock population at a given date of the year in November/December or
—
The average livestock population during the reference calendar year.
The livestock population at a given date does not reflect the seasonal changes in numbers during the year that occur as part of normal agricultural and cultural activities. The excretion coefficients shall therefore be calculated so that they reflect those seasonal changes.
(4)
The calculations shall also take into account significant imports and exports of live animals during a year.
(5)
When calculating the coefficients, at least these topics shall be taken into account, when affecting excreta:
—
Animal breeds (e.g., small vs large breeds, low vs high productivity);
—
Production level (e.g., milk production per cow per year, number of piglets per sow per year, young vs old animals);
—
Organic vs conventional;
—
Seasonal changes in available and consumed feedstuffs and in consumption patterns;
—
Feed rations (e.g., low vs high protein, low vs high phosphorus levels in the feed, energy content);
—
Use of feed additives in the animal feed (including phytases or synthetic aminoacids), specifically authorized to improve digestive efficiency;
—
Feed management related to the differences in the housing systems, including grazing vs restricted grazing vs zero-grazing systems or caged vs free-range animals.

Compound inorganic fertiliser : refers to an inorganic fertiliser with a declared content of more than one of the following: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).
Organic fertiliser: refers to a fertiliser which contains organic carbon and nutrients of solely biological origin. Organo-mineral fertilisers are included here.
Raw animal manure: refers to livestock excreta or mixture of litter, urine and excreta, before any processing.
Sewage sludge: refers to residual sludge from sewage plants (treating domestic or urban waste waters or with similar composition), from septic tanks and other similar installations for the treatment of sewage, which has undergone biological, chemical or heat treatment, long-term storage or any other appropriate process to reduce significantly its fermentability and the health hazards resulting from its use.
Other organic fertiliser: refers to an organic fertiliser other than raw manure or sewage sludge. This may include processed organic fertilisers, compost, digestate of manure and non-manure origin and other similar products.
Organo-mineral fertiliser: refers to a co-formulation of one or more inorganic fertilisers and one or more materials containing organic carbon and nutrients of solely biological origin. An organo-mineral fertiliser may contain peat, leonardite and lignite, but no other material which is fossilised or embedded in geological formations.
NUTRIENT BALANCES
The crop items are defined in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1538 of 25 July 2023 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) 2022/2379 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards crop production statistics.
The livestock items are defined in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2745 of 8 December 2023 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) 2022/2379 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards animal production statistics.
Crop residues: refers to the parts of plants – including above and below ground – that are not harvested as the main crop product. They can be either left on the field or removed from the field.
Biological nitrogen fixation: refers to processes where molecular nitrogen in the air is converted into ammonia (NH 3 ) or into related nitrogenous compounds in soil by biological processes.
Atmospheric nitrogen deposition: refers to processes by which nitrogen airborne particles and gases are deposited to soils, vegetation, waters, and other surfaces, either through precipitation (rain, snow, clouds and fog) – wet nitrogen deposition – or as a result of complex atmospheric processes such as settling, impaction, and adsorption – dry nitrogen deposition. It includes the deposition of reduced nitrogen originating from the emissions of ammonia, mainly from agriculture, and the deposition of oxidised nitrogen originating from the emissions of nitrogen oxides – mainly from the industry and cars/trucks.
Gross measurement of excretion: refers to all the manure produced by the livestock population, before manure withdrawals and reapplication after processing (e.g. as digestate or compost) and not excluding the volatilisation.
Exported livestock manure: refers to the volume of raw manure exported to another country, including the manure of national livestock produced outside the national territory as the result of cross-border agricultural activity.
Other manure withdrawals: refers to manure produced on the farms that is actively removed from raw use as plant nutrients in national agriculture. This includes the removal for production of energy, processing for fertiliser production, deposition during grazing in areas outside the utilised agricultural area or disposal. It excludes exported livestock manure.
Imported livestock manure: refers to the volume of raw imported manure from another country, and used in agriculture as a fertiliser, including manure from non-national livestock produced inside the national territory as the result of cross-border agricultural activity.
Other manure inputs: refers to the manure used as fertiliser in agriculture, originating from other sources than the manure production from the livestock population reported under Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2745 of 8 December 2023 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) 2022/2379 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards animal production statistics, (e.g., horse manure) and excluding the imported livestock manure.
