The general methodology adopted in this section is to identify the key inputs and outputs associated with the confined-animal operation of interest, calculate the typical amounts of each input and output for an operation with a capacity of 1,000 animal units (non-poultry) or 10,000 animal units (poultry), and project the annual number of round trips necessary to transport inputs and outputs to and from the operation. Note that this analysis considers only the trips generated during normal, day-to-day operations; one-time additional travel generated during the construction phase of the new facility is not considered.
