Description

The general energy consumed in the slaughterhouse stage is electricity, and the energy consumption coefficients of slaughterhouse processing for pork, beef, poultry meat, milk and poultry eggs are 3.76 KJ·kg-1, 4.37 KJ·kg-1, 2.59 KJ·kg-1, 1.12 KJ·kg-1 and 8.16 KJ·kg-1, respectively [61]. Users of this data set should apply the energy consumption coefficients carefully when assessing the environmental impact of the slaughterhouse stage in livestock production. It is important to ensure the usage of current electricity consumption rates and adjust the data if necessary. Recalculation should be considered if the data set is applied in different geographical locations or under different technological conditions. The data should also be updated accordingly if there are significant changes in the energy supply or slaughtering techniques. Users should ensure that the background data such as for fertilizer, electricity, and coal are obtained from reliable sources and are up-to-date.

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.
