A biophysical approach shall be used for the allocation of upstream burdens to the different co-products for sheep and goat. The 2006 IPCC guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories (IPCC, 2006) contain a model to calculate energy requirements that shall be used for sheep and, as a proxy, for goats. This model is applied in the present document. Dead animals and all the products coming from dead animals shall be regarded as waste and the Circular Footprint Formula (CFF, Section 4.4.8.1) shall be applied. In this case, however, the traceability of the products coming from dead animals shall be granted in order for this aspect to be taken into consideration in OEF studies.

The use of the default allocation factors included in this document is mandatory whenever secondary datasets are used for the life cycle stage of farming for sheep and goat. If company-specific data are used for this life cycle stage, the calculation of the allocation factors with the company-specific data shall be performed using the equations provided. The allocation factors shall be calculated as follows60_:

% 𝒘𝒐𝒐𝒍 = [𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒐𝒍 (𝑵𝑬𝒘𝒐𝒐𝒍)] [(𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒐𝒍 (𝑵𝑬_{𝒘𝒐𝒐𝒍})+ 𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒌 (𝑵𝑬_𝒍) + 𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒕 (𝑵𝑬_𝒈)] [Equation 10] % 𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒌 = [𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒌 (𝑵𝑬𝒍)] [(𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒐𝒍 (𝑵𝑬𝒘𝒐𝒐𝒍)+ 𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒌 (𝑵𝑬𝒍) + 𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒕 (𝑵𝑬𝒈)] [Equation 11] % 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒕 = [𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒕 (𝑵𝑬𝒈)] [(𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒐𝒍 (𝑵𝑬𝒘𝒐𝒐𝒍)+ 𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒌 (𝑵𝑬𝒍) + 𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒕 (𝑵𝑬𝒈)] [Equation 12]

For the calculation of energy for wool (NEwool), energy for milk (NEl) and energy for meat (NEg) with company specific data, the equations included in IPPC (2006) and reported below shall be used. In case secondary data are used instead, the default values for the allocation factors provided in this document shall be used.

NEwool = net energy required to produce wool, MJ day-1

EVwool = the energy value of each kg of wool produced (weighed after drying but before scouring), MJ

Default values to be used for the calculation of NEwool and the resulting net energy required are reported in Table 11.

Milk = amount of milk produced, kg of milk day-1

EVmilk = the net energy required to produce 1 kg of milk. A default value of 4.6 MJ/kg (AFRC, 1993) shall be used which corresponds to a milk fat content of 7% by weight. Default values to be used for the calculation of NEl and the resulting net energy required are provided in Table 12.

Note that lambs will be weaned over a period of weeks as they supplement a milk diet with pasture feed or supplied feed. The time of weaning should be taken as the time at which

91

they are dependent on milk for half their energy supply. The NEg equation used for sheep includes two empirical constants (a and b) that vary by animal species/category (Table 13).

In case company-specific data are used for the farming stage, the allocation factors shall be recalculated. In this case, the parameter “a” and “b” shall be calculated as weighted average if more than one animal category is present.

Default values to be used for the calculation of NEg are reported in Table 14.
