Livestock feed intake

Get amount of items used for feeding livestock.

Usage

get_feed_intake(version = NULL)

Arguments

version

File version to use as input. See whep_inputs for details.

Value

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.
