The research was carried out at the Calzada Cattle Farm. The general objective was to "Estimate the carbon footprint generated by cattle raising at the Calzada Livestock Farm". The methodology used was the one established in the "Technical Guide HC Peru: Manual of methodologies for calculating GHG emissions, prepared and approved by the Peruvian Ministry of the Environment". The population and type of livestock in the study area were characterized using observation techniques and a data collection form. The methane emissions from enteric fermentation and manure management and the nitrous oxide emissions from manure management were then estimated using emission factors for the different types of livestock; finally, using the global warming potential values for both gases, the carbon footprint of the farm was estimated. It was determined that methane emissions from enteric fermentation were 0.010443 Gg CH4/year and from manure management 0.000251 Gg CH4/year, for a total of 0.01069 Gg CH4/year; nitrous oxide emissions were 0.021629 Gg N2O/year. On the other hand, the total carbon footprint generation was 6.74493 Gg CO2 eq/year, where N2O emissions represent 95.56% of the total and CH4 emissions only 4.44%. It was concluded that non-dairy cattle and cattle in general emit the highest amounts of CH4, N2O and CO2 eq.
