Calculates the contribution of an individual feed component to methane (CH4) emissions from rice cultivation in feed production, using feed-specific emission factors weighted by the component's share in the ration.

Usage

calc_ch4_ration_rice(feed_ration_fraction, ch4_feed_rice)

Arguments

feed_ration_fraction

Numeric. Proportion of a specific feed component in the total ration, expressed as its fraction of diet dry matter intake (fraction). Within each herd_id and cohort, proportions should sum to 1.

ch4_feed_rice

Numeric. Methane (CH4) emission factor of a feed component, representing CH4 emissions from rice cultivation in feed production, expressed per kg of dry matter intake (g CH4/kg DM).

Value

Numeric. Contribution of an individual feed component to the diet-level average methane (CH4) emission factor from rice cultivation in feed production (g CH4/kg DM).

Details

The contribution is computed as:

$$diet\_ch4\_feed\_rice = feed\_ration\_fraction \times ch4\_feed\_rice$$

This function is part of the run_emissions_ration_module().
