| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this LCA data set, users should consider the specific feed composition and production stages of the feed crops involved. Attention should be paid to the energy feed ingredients namely corn, wheat, soybeans, sorghum, and rice, and their respective proportions in the feed formula. The geographical scope and the farming practices of the field research, including the years 2014-2015, must be taken into account as these can affect the sustainability metrics. Users should also reflect on the methodological aspects of feed consumption, energy (coal and electricity) data collection, and how these figures relate to the production of 1kg of pork within the system boundary. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The process described is used in the agricultural sector for growing feed crops specifically for livestock and poultry breeding. The cornerstone of the feed consists of energy-rich crops such as corn, wheat, soybeans, sorghum, and rice, which are essential for the feed formulation during the livestock and poultry rearing period. The primary purpose of these crops in this context is to provide energy and nutrition to animals such as pigs, cattle, and poultry in various breeding facilities. |

| Technology description including background system | 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. |
