Coefficients for IPCC Tier 2 GE calculation including Cfi (maintenance), Ca (activity), Cp (pregnancy), Cw (work), and energy content of weight gain. Now includes subcategory column to differentiate dairy (lactating) vs non-dairy cattle.

Usage

cfi_mj_day_kg075

NEm coefficient (MJ/day/kg^0.75).

ca_pasture

Activity coefficient for grazing.

ca_feedlot

Activity coefficient for confined.

cp

Pregnancy coefficient.

cw
