Usage

get_feed_intake(file_path)

file_path: The local path where the input CSV is located. It is recommended to use an autogenerated path by get_file_path() function.

A tibble with the feed intake data. It contains the following columns:

year: The year in which the recorded event occurred.
area_code: The code of the country where the data is from. For code details see e.g. add_area_name().
live_anim_code: Commodity balance sheet code for the type of livestock that is fed. For code details see e.g. add_item_cbs_name().
item_cbs_code: The code of the item that is used for feeding the animal. For code details see e.g. add_item_cbs_name().
feed_type: The type of item that is being fed. It can be one of:
- animals: Livestock product, e.g. Bovine Meat, Butter, Ghee, etc.
- crops: Crop product, e.g. Vegetables, Other, Oats, etc.
- residues: Crop residue, e.g. Straw, Fodder legumes, etc.
- grass: Grass, e.g. Grassland, Temporary grassland, etc.
- scavenging: Other residues. Single Scavenging item.
supply: The computed amount in tonnes of this item that should be fed to this animal, when sharing the total item feed use from the Commodity Balance Sheet among all livestock.
intake: The actual amount in tonnes that the animal needs, which can be less than the theoretical used amount from supply.
intake_dry_matter: The amount specified by intake but only considering dry matter, so it should be less than intake.
loss: The amount that is not used for feed. This is supply - intake.
loss_share: The percent that is lost. This is loss / supply.
