| LCI Method Principle | Attributional |
| LCI Principles Deviations | Attributional LCI methods used |
| LCI Method Approaches | Allocation - gross calorific value |
| LCI Method Deviations | allocation by gross chemical content; 93.7% to eggs, 6.3% to spent hens. |
| Modelling Constants | 74% of spent hens to human consumption and animal feed rendering, 26% of spent hens considered as waste due to incineration and composting; 100% of mortalities considered as waste due to incineration and composting; Manure storage: 20.70% covered dry pile, 66.34% uncovered dry pile, 12.96% dry pit. |
| Modelling Constant Deviations | NA |
| Data Cutoff/Completeness Principles | Infrastructure 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 Principles | NA |
| Data Selection/Combination Principles | Based on data from 62 reporting layer facilities representing 31058029 dozen eggs sold. |
| Deviations from Selection/Combination Principles | NA |
| Data Treatment and Extrapolation Principles | Standard excretion rate was assumed for manure production, scaled to reported feed conversion ratios. |
| Deviations from Treatment and Extrapolation Principles | NA |
