Schedule 1—Inputs into Herd Management Calculator—general

Note: See sections 23 and 24.

(1) In this Schedule:

(a) a reference to a calculation year is a reference to the assessment year or year of the emissions intensity reference period for the herd to which the Herd Management Calculator is being applied; and

(b) where the calculation year is a year of the emissions intensity reference period for the herd, a reference to an assessment day for the herd is a reference to the day of the calendar year on which the calculation year ends.

(2) The start day to be entered for item 1(b) of the table is the assessment day immediately before the beginning of the calculation year.

(3) A reference in the table to numbers at the start of the year is a reference to numbers at the end of the start day.

(4) A reference in the table to numbers at the end of the year is a reference to numbers at the end of the assessment day that ends the calculation year.

(5) The calculation year is divided into 12 monthly periods, lasting one month each.

(6) For each monthly period, there is a monthly input day, which is day that includes or starts on the mid-point of the monthly period.

(7) The project proponent may treat animals that entered or left the herd during a monthly period as having entered or left on the monthly input day.

Note: This allows the project proponent to consolidate into a single input group animals that were sold at different times within the same month. Paragraph 25(1)(f) allows the sale weights to be used for the input.

(8) For item 5 of the table, branding includes tagging or other application of identification marks to an unidentified animal.

(9) For item 5 of the table, feral animals or cleanskins brought into the herd are treated as entering the herd by ‘other management action’ when they are branded. (They, or suitable samples of them, will need to be weighed at the same time.) If this is done as part of a general muster in which weights are obtained that can be used for the input on an assessment day, the animals may be treated as having been branded on the assessment day.

Note: The Herd Management Calculator does not require entry of data on deaths or unaccounted departures—these are dealt with by calculations from the other data.

Table of inputs into the Calculator

(10) Inputs required by the Herd Management Calculator, in relation to a calculation year, are set out in the following table.
