The study was to estimate the livestock and poultry breeding (LPB) non-point source pollution load in Sichuan province and provide support for control of LPB non-point source pollution. In the study, an improved export coefficient method was proposed to estimate LPB non-point source pollution loads from the stages of generation, discharge and export. Based on the established model, total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) loads of LPB non-point source pollution were estimated in 21 administrative institutions of Sichuan province in 2012. The results indicated that the generation, discharge and export loads of TN, TP, and COD in Sichuan
