Description

The feed described in this paper is mainly energy feed, including: corn, wheat, soybean, sorghum, rice. In fact, in the process of livestock breeding, livestock feed is mainly composed of corn, wheat and soybeans. Feed crop planting stage mainly includes fertilizer production stage, corn, soybean, wheat planting stage. Data set users should take into account the regional specificity of the practices referenced, as the data collected and methodologies applied during the 2014-2015 field research at various locations in Shandong and Hebei provinces, and Xinjiang may not be directly extrapolated to different contexts. Users should calibrate this information with local practices and consider the technological and environmental variations when applying this LCA data to their own assessments of livestock and poultry breeding processes, particularly in terms of feed crop planting stages, feed consumption patterns, and livestock feed formulas.

Technology

In this paper, the life cycle of livestock and poultry farming is divided into six stages: feed crop planting, feed processing, livestock and poultry raising, manure treatment, slaughter and transportation. The specific life cycle process of livestock and poultry breeding is shown in Figure 2-1. Due to the lack of some data and the limitations of basic conditions, the production, transportation and use of pesticides, mulch and feed additives have not been analyzed, and the environmental impact caused by other related infrastructure construction, transport production and labor costs is no longer considered.
