Determination of environmental impacts of antimicrobial usage for US Northern Great Plains swine-production facilities: a life-cycle assessment approach

Abstract: Purpose This study used life-cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to examine the environmental effects associated with sub-therapeutic tylosin and chlortetracycline (CTC) antimicrobial use within US Northern Great Plains (NGP) swineproduction facilities. Antimicrobial feed-additive use is widespread within this industry and is expected to play an integral role within future carbon-management strategies due to its ability to increase feed efficiency and control disease. Materials and methods The LCA model system … Show more

“…Feed was a hotspot for the main environmental impact categories of the farm, especially GWP, in this study. Similar results were reported by Eriksson et al (2005) and Stone et al (2011). However, there were other factors, such as manure mass flows, emissions and energy supply, that could be optimised by the farm to reduce the impact on the environment.…”

“…The goal of this study is to model the whole‐farm system, including mineral/supplement and chlortetetracycline (CTC) production, which have not been included in any known beef production LCA studies to date. Chlortetetracyline use resulted in significant LCA impacts even though it comprised less than 0.05% of the total diet for swine production (Stone et al, 2011) In addition, this study aims to report impacts beyond the typical GHG emissions, to include eutrophication, terrestrial acidification, damage to human health, damage to ecosystem diversity, and damage to resource availability, all essential outputs for evaluating a whole‐farm system.…”

“…Seventeen LCA-related articles deal with ABs, of which two consider indirect toxic impacts related to AB production and transportation (Stone et al 2010(Stone et al , 2011, three calculate freshwater ecotoxicity CFs for ABs and use them in LCAs (Muñoz et al 2008;Henriksson et al 2015;Li et al 2019), two only calculate CFs for ABs (Alfonsín et al 2014;Ortiz de García et al 2017) and eight use available CFs for ABs to conduct LCAs (Muñoz et al 2009;Hospido et al 2010;Igos et al 2012Igos et al , 2013Lorenzo-Toja et al 2016;Rahman et al 2018;Tarpani and Azapagic 2018;Tarpani et al 2020). Meanwhile, Morais et al (2013) compare the uncertainty and variability of characterization results at various pH using the USEtox scientific consensus model V1.01 (Rosenbaum et al 2008) (Guinée et al 2002).…”
