| Use advice for data set | Users analyzing the environmental impact of the fattening pig production process should take into account the electricity consumption at each feed processing stage, i.e., crushing, mixing, puffing, and pressing as per the given data. Furthermore, when modeling the input-output scenarios for pig feed supply chains, it's important to include the emissions from feed processing gas and transportation exhaust. Regional-specific data such as yields of corn, soybean, and wheat from Liaoning Province should be used to assess the local environmental impacts. Methodological factors like global warming potential, acidification, and eutrophication, as calculated in the data from Liaoning, are also to be considered for a comprehensive environmental evaluation. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The provided lifecycle assessment data applies to the feed processing and transportation process within the fattening pig production industry. It indicates that the feed is a primary input for pig meat production, where pollution is generated during feed processing and transportation. The feed processing is segmented into crushing, mixing, puffing, and pressing into pellets, requiring different amounts of energy at each stage. This data is crucial for operations involved in animal feed production, livestock management, and agriculture industry players focusing on optimizing the energy consumption and reducing environmental impacts associated with pig breeding and feed processing. |

| General comment on data set | Feed is the main input of pig breeding, that is, the raw material for the production of animal food pig meat. Contaminants are formed during feed processing and transportation. Feed processing is mainly divided into four stages, crushing, mixing, puffing and pressing into pellets. According to the survey, pulverized l t pig feed consumes 20 kWh of electricity; 1 t of mixed pig feed consumes 5 kWh; The expanded 1 t pig feed consumes 45 kWh of electricity; It takes 20 kWh of electricity to press 1 t of pig feed into pellets. It was calculated that 308 t of feed was required for 1 000 fattening pigs during their growth. |
