| Use advice for data set | Users should note that the LCA data set specifically reflects the environmental impact of broiler rearing in a large-scale setting in Shandong province. Users must consider the location-specific nature of this data when applying it to other geographic contexts. Care must be taken to account for regional differences in rearing practices and energy consumptions. Data users should ensure that the functional unit of 1 kg of chicken matches the scope of their sustainability assessment or ecological footprint calculations. It is essential to include all relevant inputs and outputs during the feeding phase and to understand that this data set may not fully represent the environmental impact of chicken production in different contexts or scales. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The primary application of this process data set is for the production of chicken meat. This data is relevant for stakeholders in the poultry industry, particularly for those involved in the large-scale rearing of broilers. The life cycle data represents the environmental outputs associated with the production of 1 kg of chicken meat from a farm based in Shandong province, which can be employed in various ecological and sustainability assessments. |

| Functional Unit | The main output of broiler production is chicken, and the functional unit is 1 kg chicken |
| Technological representativeness | |
| Technology description including background system | Aiming at a broiler farm in Shandong Province, the life cycle evaluation of large-scale broiler breeding was carried out. The system boundaries of broiler production included crop cultivation (fertilizer production, corn and soybean cultivation), soybean meal production, feed processing, feed transportation, broiler feeding and manure treatment. The main output of broiler production is chicken, and the functional unit is 1 kg chicken |
