System boundary
- On the input side, cultivation of feeding material is considered. This comprises e.g. diesel and electricity, fertilizer and pesticides. Transports associated with fertiliser and pesticide use (from production site to farm) were included in this study, as well as transports of forage from field to farm. The fodder for lamb raising and sheep breeding are considered being milk, grass, hay, corn silage and additionally concentrate plus water. It is assumed that the manure which is produced by the sheep during grazing is left on the field and used for fertilization. The solid dung from indoor housing of animals is assumed to be a substitute for mineral fertilizer. Therefore nutrients in the dung were used to calculate the amount of mineral fertilizer which can be substituted (quod vide allocation procedure). On the output side indirect outputs in the form of specific emissions are considered. These emissions arise from cultivation of forage and straw as well as from enteric fermentation of the sheep. Emissions from manure management include emissions from storage. These emissions were considered using equations from IPCC [IPCC 2008]. Dung was assumed to be stored in open windrows. CH4 emissions from sheep excretion during grazing were considered in the field process as well as direct and indirect nitrous oxide emissions.
Animal production
- It was assumed that the lamb is lactated the first 30 days of lifetime; afterwards it needs 360 days to reach breeding maturity. A pregnancy takes 150 days. Lamb fattening and slaughter is not included in the model. The overall lifetime of an ewe is assumed to be 5 years. After 1.5 years the ewe gets the first lamb. The expected useful lifetime for milk and lamb production is 3.5 years. During this time the ewe gets 6.3 lambs on average, this means a ratio of 1.8 lambs per year [KERN 2008]. It is assumed, that one of the 6.3 lambs produced in 5 years is replacing the ewe – so only 5.3 lambs are allocated leaving the process. The birth-weight of a lamb amounts up to around 4 kg. From birth to weaning it reaches 15 kg and the slaughter-weight after its lifetime is 64 kg. The average milk demand during lactation of the lambs is 2 litres per day over a period of 30 days. No surplus milk was produced which could be sold for cheese production for example. According to [RAHMANN 2001, RAHMANN 2008] it was assumed that the sheep are kept 235 days outside, grazing on the pasture and 130 days during winter time in the stall. During winter time fodder must be provided by the farmer. The fodder given to the sheep during in-house period was assumed to be composed of corn silage (24 % of dm uptake), concentrate (20 % of dm uptake) and hay (56 % of dm uptake).

- The energy input into the sheep was calculated according to IPCC [IPCC 2008]. Energy demand going along with maintenance, activity, pregnancy, lactation of the sheep were calculated with the equations of the IPCC report (Volume 4 Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use, chapter 10) [IPCC 2008]. In the underlying model apparent digestible energy (DE) is a main parameter which depends on fodder uptake of the animal. DE is defined as the difference between GE (gross energy) intake and energy voided in feces (FE). It is termed “apparent” because some of the fecal energy is of non-dietary origin, such as secretions of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), sloughed epithelial cells, and microbial cells. In the model FE is assumed to be 30 percent of GE with consumption of 70 percent of GE. In general, FE increases and DE decreases as feed intake increases, because of decreased rumina resistance time of digestion and factors influencing capacity of the GIT. However, this is not true for all diets and feed ingredients.
- The housing system used in the winter period was assumed to be bedded with straw. According to [OFNER 2006] a medium straw consumption rate of 0.8 kg/day per sheep was used. The amount of dung output was calculated with the “Wolfschen Stallmistformel” [OFNER 2006].
Qsd: Solid dung formation [kg/animal/day]
QDMfodder: Formation of forage on a dry matter basis (straw) [kg/animal/day]
QDMlitter: Formation of litter on a dry matter basis (straw) [kg/animal/day]
The dry matter content of the fresh dung is 28 %. The nutrient content of one tonne of dung (28 % dm) was chosen to be 5 kg nitrogen, 3 kg phosphate and 2.5 kg potassium.
- As nutrients are modelled as used on the farm (recycled back to pasture and silage production) - no credits are given for the manure surplus.
Emissions
- Impacts from agricultural and animal production depend upon local conditions in terms of climate, soil type, fertility, indigenous pests and also on available technology such as the degree of mechanisation, use of fertilisers, pesticides, the livestock breeding system etc. Given the very large degree of variation in all these factors it is very difficult to define a “general” production situation. Emission data of CH4, N2O and NH3 were used from the IPCC, which also provides US data. The data were compared and mean values were built.
- Field emissions of NH3, NOx, N2, NO3-, CH4, and N2O gases from organic and mineral fertiliser degradation have been assessed based on the methodology developed by BOUWMANN ET AL.1996, BRENTRUP ET AL. 2000, IPCC 2003.
- The IPCC reports were used for calculation of CH4, N2O and NH3 emissions as well. Wherever possible specific data were used to fulfil the requirements of Tier 2 method. Emissions were adapted to the different types of housing and fattening regime during winter and summer.
- Carbon uptake by the crop (removing CO2 from the atmosphere) is assessed in order to understand the carbon losses during post harvest and further processing. The carbon losses associated with land use changes (e.g. forest clearance to produce agricultural land) have not been accounted for in this study. The agricultural model assumes that nitrate and phosphate levels in the soil are able to store these nutrients, so after accounting for uptake by crop and gaseous losses to atmosphere some parts of the remaining inputs are stored in the soil for next cultivation phases. Impacts associated with atmospheric deposition of nutrients play an important role in eco systems and were included in this assessment.
- To get a closed carbon cycle, carbon stored in the animal body of sheep and lambs as well as of dung and manure was considered as fixated carbon on the input side. On the output side carbon of manure and dung was considered as immediate emissions to air although it is emitted to air in further life cycle stages.
Background system:
Electricity: Electricity is modelled according to the individual country-specific situations. The country-specific modelling is achieved on multiple levels. Firstly, individual energy carrier specific power plants and plants for renewable energy sources are modelled according to the current national electricity grid mix. Modelling the electricity consumption mix includes transmission / distribution losses and the own use by energy producers (own consumption of power plants and "other" own consumption e.g. due to pumped storage hydro power etc.), as well as imported electricity. Secondly, the national emission and efficiency standards of the power plants are modelled as well as the share of electricity plants and combined heat and power plants (CHP). Thirdly, the country-specific energy carrier supply (share of imports and / or domestic supply) including the country-specific energy carrier properties (e.g. element and energy content) are accounted for. Fourthly, the exploration, mining/production, processing and transport processes of the energy carrier supply chains are modelled according to the specific situation of each electricity producing country. The different production and processing techniques (emissions and efficiencies) in the different energy producing countries are considered, e.g. different crude oil production technologies or different flaring rates at the oil platforms.
Thermal energy, process steam: The thermal energy and process steam supply is modelled according to the individual country-specific situation with regard to emission standards and considered energy carriers. The thermal energy and process steam are produced at heat plants. Efficiencies for thermal energy production are by definition 100% in relation to the corresponding energy carrier input. For process steam the efficiency ranges from 85%, 90% to 95%. The energy carriers used for the generation of thermal energy and process steam are modelled according to the specific import situation (see electricity above).
Transports: All relevant and known transport processes are included. Ocean-going and inland ship transport as well as rail, truck and pipeline transport of bulk commodities are considered.
Energy carriers: The energy carriers are modelled according to the specific supply situation (see electricity above).
Refinery products: Diesel fuel, gasoline, technical gases, fuel oils, lubricants and residues such as bitumen are modelled with a parameterised country-specific refinery model. The refinery model represents the current national standard in refining techniques (e.g. emission level, internal energy consumption, etc.) as well as the individual country-specific product output spectrum, which can be quite different from country to country. The supply of crude oil is modelled, again, according to the country-specific situation with the respective properties of the resources.Tap water from surface waterSodium chloride (rock salt)Electricity grid mixDiesel mix at refineryWinter wheat straw, at field (12% H2O content) (economic allocation)Winter wheat grains, at field (15% H2O content) (economic allocation)Transport cornMunicipal waste in waste incineration plantSupply of a representative lanoline according to the applied technology.renewables_sheep_lamb and sheep milk.jpgLCI resultAttributionalNoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massNot applicableForeground system: none
Background system: For the combined heat and power production, allocation by exergetic content is applied. For the electricity generation and by-products, e.g. gypsum, allocation by market value is applied due to no common physical properties. Within the refinery allocation by net calorific value and mass is used. For the combined crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production allocation by net calorific value is applied.

Carbon storage and delayed emissions: credits associated with temporary (carbon) storage or delayed emissions are not considered in the calculation of the Global Warming Potential impacts for the default impact categories.
Emissions off-setting: not included
Fossil and biogenic carbon emissions and removals: removals and emissions are modelled as follows: All GHG emissions from fossil fuels (including peat and limestone) are modelled consistently with the ILCD list of elementary flows. In the case that the emissions refer to the molecules CO2 and CH4, they are modelled as ‘carbon dioxide (fossil)’ and ‘methane (fossil)’. Biogenic uptake and emissions are modelled separately. For land use change, all carbon emissions and uptakes are inventoried separately for each of the elementary flows. Soil carbon accumulation (uptake) via improved agricultural management is excluded from the model.NoneGaBi Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Water Modelling PrinciplesCut-off rules for each unit process: Coverage of at least 95 % of mass and energy of the input and output flows, and 98 % of their environmental relevance (according to expert judgement).
