Use advice for data set
When employing this data set for life cycle assessment or other environmental impact studies, consider the methodological advice that the functional unit is based on 1kg of milk production. Ensure accurate modeling of the various feeding stages and their associated resource consumption. Disregard minor feed components due to their small proportion. Data set users should also account for the specificity of the geographical location (Zhangye City) as regional variations might affect the representativeness of the data. Apply caution if extrapolating data to different contexts or locations without careful consideration of regional differences in dairy farming practices and resource availability.

General comment
The feed of dairy cows is composed of roughage and concentrate feed. Concentrate feed is composed of corn, soybean meal and wheat bran as the main raw materials, and other components account for a small proportion, so other components are ignored. Dairy cows have different feed consumption in different feeding stages, and their production can be divided into four stages: calf stage, growing stage, lactation stage and dry milk stage.

Technical purpose
The described dairy cow raising process is intended for the production of milk within agricultural operations. The data set represents the inputs required for milk production, specifically focusing on the feeding and water consumption of dairy cows. The feed is a blend of roughage and concentrate feed, where the concentrate is primarily made of corn, soybean meal, and wheat bran. This data set is relevant for agricultural sectors, dairy farmers, and dairy product manufacturers who focus on the different stages of dairy cow's life, namely, calf stage, growing stage, lactation stage, and dry milk period.
