Country-level feed data to calculate greenhouse gas emissions (Africa and ASEAN countries)
As an initiative of the Global Research Alliance (GRA), the Association Française de Zootechnie (AFZ) in collaboration with the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre (NZAGRC), is providing country-level data for African and ASEAN countries to allow the estimation of greenhouse gas emissions from livestock
Preamble - very important information |
This service is provided to the unique benefit of researchers involved in projects related to the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre or with the Global Research Alliance. When requesting access to the files, you will have to describe briefly your research project and you will agree on "Usage regulations" by signing and stamping the corresponding pdf that will be attached to your email.
Contents
Each file is an Excel spreadsheet (one per country) that contains raw and average data of chemical composition and nutritional values for feeds (raw materials and forages) collected and analyzed in African and ASEAN countries. From these data, users should be able to estimate the GHGs emissions of the livestock consuming diets including those feeds.
Eligibility and usage regulations
The access to the files and the use of the files are conditioned by Usage regulations. Once the user is given access to the file, they will be considered as having read and accepted these regulations. The files remain the exclusive property of AFZ. Any usurpation of rights will be prosecuted.

Obtaining the files
The files are provided for free. Once you have read the Usage regulations and checked your eligibility (being involved in a research project dealing with GHGs emissions from livestock and related to NZAGRC), you can send a motivated request to Valérie Heuzé at valerie.heuze@zootechnie.fr.
If your request is granted, you will be given an identifier and a password that will give you access to the files by clicking on the link below:
