In the modern world, global warming is a serious problem that is predominantly caused by greenhouse gases (GHGs). However, due to the demand of pork, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are increasing dramatically from swine burns, which have a significant impact on increasing GHGs in the atmosphere. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to measure the CO2 emissions based on age, body weight gain and different activities of swine. The experiment was conducted in an experimental swine barn from September to December, 2022. A load cell and a livestock environment management system (LEMS) were used to measure the body weight of swine’s and CO2 emissions level inside the barn, respectively. A 2d camera was used to record the swine’s different activities on a daily basis. The findings of the study showed that the CO2 emissions were strongly correlated with body weight (r = 0.83) and age of swine (r = 0.86). In this study, we also found that the CO2 emissions were highest at sleeping time (1-2 PM) and lowest at feeding time (5-6 PM). Moreover, the CO2 emissions during sleeping (1-2 PM) and feeding (5-6 PM) time were significantly different from other activities (P < 0.05). In conclusion, this study recommends additional research need to be conducted in the different seasons to estimate the CO2 emissions in concern to swine’s age, body weight and different activities by providing different additives of diets.
