LCI Method PrincipleAttributional
LCI Principles DeviationsNA
LCI Method ApproachesAllocation - 100% to main function
LCI Method DeviationsNo allocation - all flows allocated to pullets
Modelling Constants45% of mortalities to animal feed rendering, 55% of mortalities considered as waste due to incineration and composting.
Modelling Constant DeviationsNA
Data Cutoff/Completeness PrinciplesInfrastructure and farm machinery not considered; Other exclusions are antibiotics, cleaners, and enteric fermentation for poultry; Emissions related to burning of industrial machinery not included.
Deviations from Cutoff/Completeness PrinciplesNA
Data Selection/Combination PrinciplesBased on data from three pullet facilities representing 73,736 pullets sold to organic layer facilities.
Deviations from Selection/Combination PrinciplesNA
Data Treatment and Extrapolation PrinciplesManure application based on US layer production; Insufficient data for water use - assumed same as in conventional pullet systems in this dataset's source.
Deviations from Treatment and Extrapolation PrinciplesNA
Supply CoverageNA
Dataset Use AdviceOnly used as a representation of average Canadian pullet production to be placed in organic layer facilities.
