Integrated analysis on economic and environmental consequences of livestock husbandry on different scale in China
TL;DR: In this paper, a joint use of life cycle assessment, emergy evaluation and economic analysis provides different but complementary standpoints for comparison of four typical pig production models, and the results show that the income/cost ratio, labor productivity and daily weight gain for specialized pig farms (SF), thousand pig farms and hundred thousand pigs farms (HTF) are increased by 23.0-36.5%, by 338.7-946.7% and by 2.0−9.8%, respectively, compared to the backyard pig farm (BF).
