Possible examples in the agricultural sector include improved manure management, reduction of enteric fermentation, improved fertilizer usage or improved water management in rice cultivation.

Similarly, consistent livestock data should be used for CH4 and N2O emissions from enteric fermentation and manure management, and for N2O emissions from animal manure applied to soils.

These include Rosolic acid to inhibit bacterial growth in general, except for faecal coliforms, Bile salts inhibit non enteric bacteria and Aniline blue indicates the ability of faecal coliforms to ferment lactose to acid that causes a pH change in the medium.
