| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this data set for life cycle assessment purposes, users should take into account the specific context of livestock raising in Shandong province during the period 2014 to 2015. Consideration should be given to the methodological consistency with the study, such as adherence to the local feeding practices, meat-to-feed ratios, and the types of feed used. It is crucial to note that the emission factors and resource consumption are based on field research at specific sites in China and may not be directly applicable to other regions or time frames without appropriate adjustments. Background data such as for fertilizer, electricity, and coal usage should be sourced consistently with the national statistical yearbooks or official websites, ensuring up-to-date and region-specific information. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The data set represents the environmental impact associated with the raising stage of dairy and other livestock. It is relevant for life cycle assessments of agricultural products, particularly in evaluating the greenhouse gas emissions and resource use for dairy, pork, beef, and poultry production. The typical applications of this data include agricultural policy-making, environmental impact studies, and optimization strategies for livestock and poultry raising efficiency. |

| General comment on data set | The pollutant emission of livestock and poultry in the raising stage mainly comes from the pollutant emission of livestock and poultry gastrointestinal fermentation, and the pollutant emission generated by the energy consumption of livestock and poultry heating, lighting and equipment operation. Because of the different physiological structure of birds, the amount of CH4 produced in intestinal fermentation is very small, so it is ignored |

| 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. |
