IPCC 2019 Refinement, Vol 4, Ch 10, Table 10.16A (Updated). That edition has no Table 10.16: its list of tables jumps from Table 10.15 (Updated), the per-head manure CH4 factors for deer, reindeer, rabbits, ostrich and fur-bearing animals, straight to Table 10.16A. Table 10.16 is the 2006 Guidelines' number for that deer/reindeer/rabbit/fur-bearing table (0.22/0.36/0.08/0.68 kg CH4 head-1 yr-1, no ostrich row), and the 2006 edition has no Bo table at all – its Bo defaults live in Annex 10A.2. Every row matches its high-productivity column except "Swine - Breeding" 0.27: Table 10.16A publishes one swine Bo (0.48 North America, 0.45 other high-productivity regions, 0.29 low productivity) and the 2006 Annex 10A.2 derivation tables give breeding swine the same Bo as market swine, so 0.27 appears in neither edition; it coincides with the North American market swine volatile-solids rate of 0.27 kg VS head-1 day-1 in 2006 Annex 10A.2. "Other Cattle" 0.18 is the Western European non-dairy column (North America is 0.19, Eastern Europe and Oceania 0.17). Tracked in whep#601.
