From: Seaweed as a climate fix for meat and dairy production: an LCA perspective
System | Scenario | Algal species | Treatment | Supplementation rate | Functional unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cattle | S1 | Ascophyllum nodosum (AN) | AN whole (dried and milled into powder) | 140 g per cattle per day | 1 kg boneless beef |
S2 | Ascophyllum nodosum (AN) | AN refined (processed and freeze-dried) | 140 g per cattle per day | 1 kg boneless beef | |
Dairy Cows | S3 | Ascophyllum nodosum (AN) | AN refined (processed and harter-dried) | 0.5% of organic matter per day | 1 L raw milk |
S4 | Asparagopsis taxiformis (AT) | AT dried (freeze-dried) | 0.5% of organic matter per day | 1 L raw milk | |
Sheep | S5 | Ascophyllum nodosum (AN) | AN whole (dried and milled into powder) | 30 g per sheep per day | 1 kg boneless mutton |
S6 | Ascophyllum nodosum (AN) | AN refined (processed and freeze-dried) | 60 g per sheep per day | 1 kg boneless mutton | |
