The activity generating the emissions is mineral supplement production, for beef cattle. The reference product is mineral supplement, for beef cattle. Mineral supplementation is a necessary practice to meet the nutrient demands of cattle raised on pasture, regardless of the intensification of the production process. Forage plants, normally, are deficient in essential mineral elements such as sodium, phosphorus, iodine, zinc, copper, cobalt and selenium. The mineral supplement assists the fattening process and completes the diet of the animals. Mineral supplement, for beef cattle is meant to be used for animals dedicated for meat production. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
