Veal - Milk Fed
Notes: * DM = dry matter
-
Average weight rounded to 3 significant digits
- Manure production numbers rounded to 4 decimal places
- Blank manure production and dry matter entries indicate a non-typical
housing process.
- Livestock housing capacity is rounded to 2 decimal places if
above 0.2 m2/animal and 3 decimal places if below 0.2
m2/animal
- Blank livestock housing capacity values indicate that information
is not available
- Livestock density is based on barn area only for a housing system(outdoor
yard is not included)
- Livestock housing capacity numbers are used to develop an estimated
barn size
If the farm unit has more than one type of farm animal present
on it then this calculation would have to be completed for each
type of animal separately, then all the results totaled to give
the total NU generated by farm animals on the farm.
