Calculates the contribution of an individual feed component to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from land-use change in feed production (excluding peatland drainage), using feed-specific emission factors weighted by the component's share in the ration.

Usage

calc_co2_ration_luc_nopeat(feed_ration_fraction, co2_feed_luc_nopeat)

Arguments

feed_ration_fraction

Numeric. Proportion of a specific feed component in the total ration, expressed as its fraction of diet dry matter intake (fraction). Within each herd_id and cohort, proportions should sum to 1.

co2_feed_luc_nopeat

Numeric. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission factor of a feed component, representing CO2 emissions from land-use change in feed production (excluding peatland drainage), expressed per kilogram of dry matter intake (g CO2/kg DM).

Value

Numeric. Contribution of an individual feed component to the diet-level average carbon dioxide (CO2) emission factor from land-use change (excluding peatland drainage) in feed production (g CO2/kg DM).

Details

The contribution is computed as:

$$diet\_co2\_feed\_luc\_nopeat = feed\_ration\_fraction \times co2\_feed\_luc\_nopeat$$
