  1. CHINAGRO Methodological Issues in Feed Balance Accounting for the Livestock Sector in China Policy Decision Support for Sustainable Adapatation of China‘s Agriculture to Globalization CHINAGRO Training Course (II): September 23-24, 2003, Beijing Günther Fischer International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Laxenburg, Austria

  2. CHINAGRO OVERVIEW • Background • Methodology - overview • Livestock types • Feed requirements • Feed sources • Feed balances • Conclusions

  3. CHINAGRO LIVESTOCK TYPES • Large animals • Cattle & Yaks • Milk cows • Buffalos • Horses • Donkeys & Mules • Camels • Sheep & Goats • Pigs • Poultry (meat) • Poultry (eggs)

  4. Livestock Numbers andRegional Distribution 1997

  5. CHINAGRO LIVESTOCK TYPES • Vary by: • Herd structure • Nutritional requirements • Input/Output relations  Express in common unit • Conversion in two steps: • Convert to Systems Livestock Unit • (SLSU = breeding female) • Convert SLSU to Reference Livestock Unit • (RSLU = animal requiring 5600 Mcal/year)

  6. CHINAGRO LIVESTOCK HERD STRUCTURE Source: Zheng et al., 1994

  7. CHINAGRO Livestock Heads converted to Reference Units (RLSU)

  8. CHINAGRO FEEDING SYSTEMS • Vary with: • Feed resources • Scale level • Input intensity • Productivity • Grazing systems • Ruminants (excl. buffalo) • Confined systems • Traditional Household • Specialized Household • Large-scale

  9. CHINAGRO Livestock By Feeding System (RSLU in 1997) RUMINANTS PIGS and POULTRY

  10. CHINAGRO FEED SOURCES • Grass and forage • Natural grassland • Improved grassland • Sown pasture • Crop residues • Crop by-products • Bran and husks • Cake and meals • Pulp, stillage, molasses • Household wastes • Primary feed commodities

  11. CHINAGRO FEED SOURCES (1) Grass and Forage Fg = Fng + Fig + Fsg where Fng = Ang • Yng• Dng• Cnu• Eng Fig = … Fg,Fng, Fig, Fsg feed energy supply (Mcal) Yng, Yig, Ysg yield (kg/ha) Ang, Aig, Asg utilizable grassland (ha) Dng, Dig, Dsg dry matter content (share) Cnu, Ciu, Csu utilization coefficient (share) Eng, Eig, Esg digestible energy content (Mcal/kg DM)

  15. CHINAGRO FEED SOURCES (2) Crop residues, by-products, wastes Fr = Q • Cr • Cru • Er Fb = (Q • Cp) • Cb • Cbu • Eb Fw = Q • Cw • Cwu • Ew Fr, Fb, Fw feed energy supply (Mcal) Q production (kg DM) Cr, Cb, Cw feed factor (kg/kg primary prod.)

  33. CHINAGRO SUMMARY • Methodology for full livestock feed accounting at provincial / regional / national level (all major feed sources, all animal types); • Full accounting provides valuable consistency check; • Method is flexible to incorporate technical information from livestock experts as well as survey / census data; • Provides sound basis for estimating current and future feed availability and use; • Explicitly accounts for livestock structure changes and shifts in livestock management; • Provides a basis for assessing spatial livestock issues (e.g., fixed vs mobile feed resources).
