Key Data Set Information

Location

Reference year

2006

Name

beef cattle production on pasture

Technical purpose of product or process

Pasture is not regularly fertilized but is replanted every 20 years. Mineral salt is served as supplement feed for all cattle in troughs on the field. Besides pasture and mineral salt, no proteic supplement or other feed is served to cattle. Fat steers are sold for slaughter under 42 months. The dataset does not include pharmaceuticals, although typical production systems use them. Use of hormones for cattle raising is forbidden in Brazil.

General comment on data set

Type of process: ordinary transforming activity Parent relation Ecospold2: none Tags: Macroeconomic Scenario: Business-as-Usual ImageURL: https://db3.ecoinvent.org/images/e3805c1c-94ce-40f8-8a96-0869dc6417b9 This dataset represents the production of 1 kg of live weight of beef cattle, in Brazil, on planted pasture, at farm, for slaughtering. Discarded cattle (bulls and culled cows) are considered part of the product. Culled cows are replaced by some of the weaned heifers, all other weaned heifers are sold for fattening by other systems, and are considered by product. The dataset include operations for pasture maintenance and replanting. Fences are the only infrastructure included. Acquisition and use of grass seeds are not included (less then 3% of product mass). The production of young bulls for reproduction is not included for the same reason, but their emissions in the farm and their live weight as product are considered. Direct field emissions are included, with important regionalizations added. Farm manure as an organic fertiliser is only accounted for in terms of direct field emissions.

Technological representativeness

Technology description including background system

The technology level of this process is: Current/n/n Pasture is not regularly fertilized but is replanted every 20 years. Mineral salt is served as supplement feed for all cattle in troughs on the field. Besides pasture and mineral salt, no proteic supplement or other feed is served to cattle. Fat steers are sold for slaughter under 42 months. The dataset does not include pharmaceuticals, although typical production systems use them. Use of hormones for cattle raising is forbidden in Brazil. Included activities start: This activity starts at the replanting of pasture. Included activities end: This activity ends with the provision of fat steers, culled cows and bulls at farm gate, ready to be sent to slaughterhouses as live weight.
