Reference year 2010
Name
Fattening pig production ; pig production
Use advice for data set Users should apply this data exclusively for environmental assessment of fattening pig production processes, and not for other types of animal farming. The electricity consumption data for piglet nurseries must be considered for its significant contribution to pollution. When using this data, users must note that it represents the specific context of Liaoning Province's agricultural yields in 2010 and may require updating for current assessments. Additionally, users must acknowledge the methodological framework of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as the basis for environmental impact studies and adapt their models accordingly, ensuring that the methodological requirements of the LCA are met.
Technical purpose of product or process The data set is intended for environmental impact assessment within the scope of agricultural animal production, specifically for large-scale fattening pig production processes. The data refers to fattening pig farms in Liaoning Province and includes energy consumption requirements for maintaining the necessary conditions for piglets, as well as potential environmental impacts related to global warming, acidification, and eutrophication linked to the production process.
Classification
Class name : Hierarchy level
  • ILCD: Unit processes / Materials production / Agricultural production means
General comment on data set According to the survey, due to the low resistance of piglets, their nursery requires electrical insulation, and the average power consumption is 15 kWh·head-1.
