1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers living domestic rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) produced under managed husbandry and living hares (Lepus spp.) delivered after demonstrably lawful live capture. It excludes dead animals, meat, fur, hides, slaughter and downstream use. Wild-hare capture is not presumed lawful or representative: declare jurisdiction, permit, welfare controls, capture lot and real handover; absent such evidence do not claim that route. A wild hare is not modelled as a farm product.

2. Product Category Identity

Field	Value
canonical_pcr_id	`pcr.agriculture-forestry-and-fishery-products.live-animals-and-animal-products-excluding-meat.rabbits-and-hares`
classification_refs	CPC 3.0 `02191`, Rabbits and hares
covered_products	Living domestic rabbits and living hares at legitimate actual handover
excluded_products	Dead animals, meat, fur, hides, slaughter, trapping service and downstream use
representative_product	Living rabbit or hare by measured live mass, with species and gate disclosed
production_route	Managed domestic-rabbit breeding and rearing followed by farm live selection; cage versus floor/litter housing are managed-biological parent variants with different bedding, cleaning, energy and manure collection. Separately, lawful live-hare capture is capture-only, with short handling and capture handover, never a managed-production child. Farm and capture routes are mutually exclusive per lot; housing variants may coexist across farm periods.
market_state	Alive and unprocessed, with species, class, count, condition and gate declared

3. Reference Flow

Field	Value
What	Living rabbit or hare at legitimate producing-farm or capture handover
How much	1 kg measured live mass, with head count and class-specific mass
How well	Alive, unprocessed and species-resolved; disclose class and condition
How long or cycle	Declared breeding/rearing cohort or lawful capture campaign and actual service periods
reference_flow_link	`reference_product_handover`

Field	Value
Reference amount	1
Reference product flow	Living rabbit or hare at farm or lawful capture handover
Reference flow property	Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66`
Reference unit group	Mass `93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66`
Reference unit	kg
Required qualifiers	Species; domestic or wild; age/class; head count; condition; measured live mass; route; actual gate; jurisdiction and permit for capture; period

Instantiate one foreground reference from the actual handed-over lot, with all required qualifiers. The category may cover alternative states and producer gates, but each package has one declared species/state/gate/grade stratum and one measured accepted reference-output denominator. Do not pool incompatible states or claim equal service from equal mass. Route-specific source rows and reference_handover describe the same physical boundary event; their linked internal transfer is not another sale or another physical operation.

The confirmed platform Product identity is farm-gate production mix only and cannot describe the broad farm-or-capture reference.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
`reference_mass`	Final living output and incoming stock	Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66`	kg	Weigh lots or document class-specific sample weights and reconcile count; never assume one animal has a fixed mass.
`animal_ledger`	All animal lots	Count	head	Reconcile opening, births or capture, purchase, transfer, release, death and handover by species, class and period.
`period_basis`	Breeders, replacement and assets	Time	days or cycle	Link gestation, lactation, weaning, rearing, replacement and shared service to benefited periods; use actual capture service days.
`manure_basis`	Collected manure	Mass	kg	Report exported product and waste on consistent as-received or moisture-corrected basis; deposits are not exported product.
`inventory_reference_normalization`	all inventory rows	Actual flow property	exchange unit per reference flow	The inventory and collection aggregation fields below express final amounts per declared reference flow. Keep all raw collection records, original denominator qualifiers, route/period strata, unit conversions and allocation requirements. For each flow, first obtain its attributable amount in its own numerator unit using the existing rules; then divide by the measured accepted reference-output quantity of the same scope and multiply by the declared reference quantity. Do not mix species, states, gates or incompatible routes; count transfers and shared burdens once. A missing, zero or untraceable accepted-output denominator is a blocking data-quality issue. Keep provisional QA ranges on their explicitly stated bases; they are not conversion factors or production defaults. These are final foreground-package contributions, not replacements for stage quantitative references or stage-native unit-process datasets. Retain stage records separately. Compute normalized amount = attributable raw amount * declared reference quantity / measured accepted final reference-output quantity. Apply normalization exactly once.
`stage_throughput_linkage`	stage records and final package contributions	Actual flow property and its stated raw basis	retain native numerator and stage denominator units	Keep the original lot, event, cohort, period and stage denominators with their units. Reconstruct the attributable numerator A with measured stage quantity Q_stage and documented attribution before final normalization. If a quoted amount a_B corresponds to an explicit stage basis B_stage (for example, 1000 kg), use A = a_B * Q_stage / B_stage. If r_stage is already an intensity in exchange-unit per stage-unit, instead use A = r_stage * Q_stage, with no second division by B_stage. A raw attributable total is used directly. Final contribution = A * declared reference quantity / measured accepted final output. Convert compatible units explicitly and apply each attribution/allocation share exactly once; never treat a quoted amount or intensity as a raw total. Link stage transfers, losses, rejects, stocks, shared services and allocation to the same actual route, period and final-output stratum. For a 1000 kg basis retain 1000 kg explicitly. Do not assume unit yield, equal fresh/dried mass, equal head mass, equal dose quality or interchangeable gates. Missing links, unsupported unit conversion, zero denominators and untraceable allocation block dataset production. Stage-native datasets retain their own stage reference; package contributions are a separate projection.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Domestic opening breeders or purchased young stock with origin/prior burden, or documented lawful pre-capture campaign condition
starting_condition_role	Managed stock or lawful capture context; purchased rabbit is not zero burden
product_classification_scope	CPC 3.0 `02191` living rabbits and hares
recursive_input_rule	Link purchased same-category rabbits once to a preceding-gate dataset; internal weanling transfer is not a second final product. Do not assign wild pre-capture animals fictional farm production.
upstream_dataset_requirement	Match purchased animals, feed, bedding, water, energy and services to real supplier, property, gate and geography.
disclosure	Species and domestic/wild state, housing mode or capture permit/site, gate, cohort/campaign, shared assets, product and mortality/manure destinations.

Boundary Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
`boundary_live`	Both routes	End with a living animal at the real handover; exclude slaughter, meat, hides, fur and downstream use.	`un-cpc-2025`
`boundary_farm`	Managed domestic rabbits	Include breeder/rearing stock, feed, water, housing, health and manure only where operated; purchases retain upstream burden.	`fao-rabbit-production`; `fao-rabbit-housing`
`boundary_housing`	Managed housing variants	Rabbit breeding/rearing is the biological parent. Cages versus floor/litter change bedding, cleaning, housing energy and manure handling; record real shares, not universal yields.	`fao-rabbit-housing`
`boundary_capture`	Living wild hares	Include only documented lawful live trapping, welfare handling and actual capture handover; no fictitious breeder, feed or farm gate. Missing legal evidence makes the route ineligible.	`vic-hare-control`
`boundary_shared`	Shared assets	Attribute sheds, feeders, water systems, traps and vehicles once over consuming nodes and service periods; avoid duplicate transfers.	`fao-rabbit-housing`; `vic-hare-control`
`reference_handover_linkage`	actual reference-product boundary	Record reference_handover as the same physical producer handover already represented by its source rows. It must not extend the gate or insert new processing, capture, storage, transport, service or capital burdens. For a unit-process projection, keep the actually operated stage references; the handover record may be a boundary interface in the resulting foreground package, not an invented standalone operation. Select one actual qualified route/output stratum; trace matching source and input as internal transfers and expose the accepted reference product once. If the source already ended at this gate, partition its existing handover responsibility without counting it again.

6. Process Inventory Structure

Process Map

process_id	process_name	inclusion	inclusion_condition	role	quantitative_reference
`breeder`	Maintain domestic breeding stock and produce live kits	conditional	Operated breeding farm	Biological production, gestation, lactation, survival and replacement	per kg live weanlings leaving breeder
`rearing`	Rear domestic rabbits to producer class	conditional	Operated grow-out; otherwise purchased stock has upstream burden	Biological growth with housing-specific inputs and manure	per kg live rabbits leaving rearing
`farm_handover`	Select, weigh and hand over live farm rabbits	conditional	Domestic farm route	Independent collection/health screen and real farm gate	per kg accepted farm-gate live rabbits
`hare_capture`	Lawfully capture and hand over living hares	conditional	Verified permit and observed live-capture route	Independent capture-only node and real capture gate	per kg accepted hares at capture handover
`reference_handover`	Actual producer reference-product handover	required	One actual declared route, state and producer gate per foreground package	Record the existing physical boundary handover once; linkage/accounting responsibility, not additional treatment or distribution	1 kg accepted product at the declared handover

Farm and capture routes are mutually exclusive per animal. Cage and floor/litter modes can coexist by cohort/period. Capture is not a managed-production variant. Live collection is independent of biological growth because acceptance, weighing and handover follow production; losses or releases are not intended live output. Index breeding, weaning, rearing, replacement, asset service and capture events by period.

Producer-handover linkage: Only when selected as the actual terminal source for this route, this state/gate-specific row supplies the same accepted physical goods to reference_handover_input. In that case it is an internal handover record, not a second external reference sale; otherwise retain its original intermediate role. Retain its exact identity and original route condition. Choose the actual terminal source, not all successive transfers; match the same lot and compatible species/state/gate evidence. A narrower fixed gate or species is never broadened.

Living rabbit or hare at farm or lawful capture handover for actual producer-handover linkage (`reference_handover_input`)

This input matches the accepted goods represented by live_handover, hare_capture_output under their unchanged route conditions. It is an internal source-to-handover linkage, not a newly purchased same-category good and not extra production. The matching source and input cancel at the package boundary.

The actual route/state/gate is selected from foreground handover evidence; retain every required qualifier. Use the actual terminal source for the same accepted physical lot, not every successive stage transfer. Fixed source identities apply only to their exact species/state/gate; use an unbound compatible source role for other covered routes and resolve the actual foreground exchange before final dataset creation.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
`allocation_subdivide`	All nodes	Assign measured inputs, emissions and losses directly to breeder, rearing, farm handover or lawful capture first. Wild hares inherit no farm breeding burden.	`fao-rabbit-production`; `vic-hare-control`
`allocation_outputs`	Weanlings, live culls, final animals and usable exported manure	Enumerate distinct intended outputs only with actual handover, mass and receiver. Internal transfers are not second final outputs; deaths, disposal and released hares are not saleable co-products. For inseparable farm burdens use animal-days or measured feed/service causality; if unsupported use same-period economic values, documented prices and sensitivity.	`fao-rabbit-production`; `fao-rabbit-housing`
`allocation_periods`	Breeding, rearing and capture	Assign breeder maintenance, gestation, lactation, weaning, replacement and housing service to benefited cohorts over documented periods. Transfer each kit's prior burden once to rearing. Capture equipment/handling belongs only to observed campaign.	`fao-rabbit-production`; `vic-hare-control`
`allocation_shared`	Sheds, feeders, water systems, traps and vehicles	Name every consuming node/period; allocate measured burden once by meter, occupied animal-days, service-hours or trips. Document a share sum of one and avoid charging again at internal transfer.	`fao-rabbit-housing`; `vic-hare-control`

8. Foreground Data Collection, Calculation, and Quality Rules

Specific input identification before dataset completion

Identify the actual input for this operation from supplier specifications, equipment and primary records. This is a mandatory collection requirement, not an exchange. Before dataset completeness, represent each used material, formulated product, carrier or independently purchased service by one physically specific card with its native quantity/property; confirm a compatible UUID, or retain an explicit unresolved identity and do not claim a fully linked dataset. Do not substitute a conditional example for an unknown actual input, invent a recipe, omit required use or infer zero from missing records. Attribute shared use, reusable assets and inclusive services once; preserve the original stage/period and measured throughput link to final reference output. The former aggregate range is not a component limit or consumption default.

requirement_id	collection_protocol_id	Preserved collection scope
`breeder_feed_specific_input`	`cp_feed`	Operation breeder: Record supplied feed, forage and stock changes; grazed material is not purchased feed. Denominator and scope requirements：per kg live weanlings leaving breeder Raw quantity and calculation requirements: Use separate feed-supply, intake and loss ledgers under calc_feed_supply_and_intake. The quantity carrying feed-production burden includes in-boundary refusals, spoilage and uneaten feed; it is not reduced to animal intake. Retain source, species/cohort, phase and original mass/moisture basis. Calculate the final contribution with inventory_reference_normalization and stage_throughput_linkage exactly once. Original collection denominator kind: process_output. Original quantity method: Calculate the attributable final-package exchange under inventory_reference_normalization and stage_throughput_linkage using reconciled feed-supply records that retain in-boundary losses and their production burden.
`breeder_materials_specific_input`	`cp_materials`	Operation breeder: Record route-specific litter and veterinary materials by separate actual identity. Denominator and scope requirements：per kg live weanlings leaving breeder Raw quantity and calculation requirements: measured supplied material by identity Original collection denominator kind: process_output. Original quantity method: Calculate the attributable final-package exchange under inventory_reference_normalization and stage_throughput_linkage using the matched raw records.
`rearing_materials_specific_input`	`cp_materials`	Operation rearing: Record litter and care materials separately for the actual housing mode. Denominator and scope requirements：per kg live rabbits leaving rearing Raw quantity and calculation requirements: measured supplied material Original collection denominator kind: process_output. Original quantity method: Calculate the attributable final-package exchange under inventory_reference_normalization and stage_throughput_linkage using the matched raw records.

Route-specific energy identification requirements

Select energy exchanges from the actual product state, operation, equipment and supply records. The conditional cards below are not a mandatory or exhaustive fuel list. For each requirement, document applicability and the used carrier, supplier, service period, native quantity and allocation; add a separate physically specific card and verify its UUID for any actual input not yet represented. An unidentified input remains an explicit completeness gap, never a zero or a generic energy exchange. Evidence of manual work, ambient drying or a bypass can justify non-use only for the affected operation. Preserve every required operation even when no example card is supplied.

Separate purchased supply from on-site conversion. Link self-generated electricity internally to the foreground generator and count its actual fuel and emissions there once; do not also charge a purchased-electricity supply for the same internal transfer. Likewise do not count supplier-side fuel again with purchased heat. Reconcile shared meters and contractor-included energy against existing cards, with one physical quantity assigned once. Retain source quantities, output throughput, shared-service allocation and excluded post-gate activities. For each carrier, apply period/output attribution once and scale to the declared reference quantity using matched accepted final output in the same product unit; do not normalize an already normalized amount again. Process-native intensities require a measured throughput link to that final output. These requirements do not set a consumption default or certify dataset completeness.

Denominator and scope requirements：per kg accepted hares at capture handover Raw quantity and calculation requirements: measured campaign fuel and electricity Original collection denominator kind: process_output. (`route-energy-fao`)

Material and service identification requirements

Identify each actual material or independently supplied service from supplier and activity records; record composition/specification, quantity, unit, node and period separately. Add one concrete exchange per identity before dataset completion; these requirements are not a single exchange. Reconcile with existing cards and inclusive services to avoid duplication. Allocate reusable assets over evidenced use and preserve physical quantities; normalize once to the matched final reference output. Missing identity or use evidence is a completeness gap, not zero use. Conditional examples below are not an exhaustive bill of materials and do not prescribe use or amounts.

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
`calc_reference`	Both final outputs	Measured accepted live kg / same accepted live kg = 1 kg reference; disclose heads per kg by class.	accepted kg, count, species, class	1 kg living animal and heads/kg	`un-cpc-2025`
`calc_ledger`	Animal stages	Reconcile stock and events without counting internal transfers twice.	opening, births/capture, purchases, release, death, transfer, sale, closing	balanced count and mass	`fao-rabbit-production`; `vic-hare-control`
`calc_manure_ch4`	Farm manure	Apply documented applicable livestock/manure method to observed manure and storage/treatment; no universal rabbit factor.	measured manure, route activity and method parameters	kg biogenic CH4 by stage	`ipcc-livestock-2019`
`calc_manure_n2o`	Farm manure	Apply pathway-specific direct N2O method to measured manure nitrogen and observed storage/treatment; do not transfer this farm method to wild hare capture.	manure nitrogen, management share, method parameters	kg direct N2O by stage	`ipcc-livestock-2019`
`calc_shared`	Shared assets	Allocate one observed burden across recorded consumers/periods; fractions sum to one.	service, animal-days/hours/trips, period	burden by node/cohort	`fao-rabbit-housing`; `vic-hare-control`
`calc_feed_input_and_intake`	Feed supply and biological intake	Feed input carrying upstream burden = opening stock + receipts - closing stock - documented unused returns or transfers out. Keep in-boundary spoilage and refusals in that input. Separately derive biological intake = that input - measured uneaten losses, with moisture/DM reconciliation; use intake, not purchased input, in animal metabolism calculations. Record each loss destination and include its treatment or manure contribution once.	`cp_feed`	separate kg feed input, intake and loss by cohort	`review-fao-pig-lca-2018`
`calc_pathway_emissions`	`breeder`; `rearing`	Use species- and management-compatible methods and retain disaggregated pathway totals. Convert N2O-N to N2O by 44/28 and NH3-N to NH3 by 17/14 exactly once; already molecular masses are not reconverted. Check methane against the documented available-carbon/methane-potential balance and nitrogen losses against each stage's available N. Indirect formation from previously volatilised N is a downstream transformation, not a second source-stage N loss. Attribute and normalize once; do not duplicate linked treatment or fate-model emissions. Use matched raw-period quantities before allocation for physical screens: CH4 mass × 12/16 must not exceed the carbon available to the represented pathway; source-stage NH3 mass × 14/17 plus direct N2O mass × 28/44 and other source N losses must not exceed that stage's available N, after accounting for stocks and transfers. Bound each indirect N2O-N calculation by its documented volatilised or leached N precursor, not by subtracting that downstream transformation again from the source ledger. These are conservation checks, not emission factors or an empirical per-product range.	`cp_pathway_emissions`	kg named compound per final reference flow	`ipcc-livestock-2019`; `review-eea-manure-2023`; `review-ipcc-soils-2019`
`calc_feed_supply_and_intake`	`breeder_feed`; `rearing_feed`	Feed supply used by the represented operation = opening feed stock + receipts + on-site feed entering the operation - closing feed stock - documented unused returns or transfers out. Retain in-boundary spoilage, refusals and discarded leftovers in that supply. Actual intake = that supply - measured uneaten/discarded losses, after matching moisture/DM and period; use intake only for nutrition/metabolism. Opening stock retains its prior burden and is not another purchase. Trace any unused return or transfer and its burden destination; no automatic substitution credit. Attribute production once, through either the purchased-feed dataset or the represented on-site crop/collection node, never both for the same feed. Include actual waste treatment and manure contributions once, not as a second feed-production burden.	`cp_feed_supply_and_intake`	separate feed supply, intake and loss quantities, in matched as-fed/DM units	`review-fao-pig-lca-2018`
`calc_manure_n2o_coverage`	`breeder_manure_n2o`; `review_breeder_indirect_n2o`; `rearing_manure_n2o`; `review_rearing_indirect_n2o`	For each actual manure stage, calculate direct N2O, volatilisation/deposition-derived indirect N2O, and applicable leaching/runoff-derived indirect N2O separately with documented species/system activity and factor basis. Convert N2O-N to molecular N2O by 44/28 once; do not reconvert molecular masses. Retain component worksheets. Where an existing N2O card covers both direct and indirect emissions, report their non-overlapping sum; where separate direct/indirect cards exist, assign each component once to its matching card and never also report the sum. Pasture deposition and land application use the managed-soil method, not a manure-storage factor. Assign foreground versus linked treatment/pasture coverage explicitly; a manure export does not erase earlier emissions, and already covered downstream emissions are not repeated. Account for stock, transfers and previous N losses in the nitrogen cascade; indirect N2O is a downstream transformation of its precursor, not a second source-stage N loss. Normalize attributed molecular masses once to the accepted reference output. Document inapplicability; absent pathway data are not zero.	`cp_manure_n2o_coverage`	kg molecular N2O by pathway and assigned existing card	`ipcc-livestock-2019`; `review-ipcc-soils-2019`
`chemical_species_mass_accounting`	`elementary_nutrient_emissions`	Final elementary exchanges use the mass of the identified substance and one actual receiving compartment. Keep nutrient/activity ledgers separate: species-specific N2O-N × 44/28 gives N2O, NH3-N × 17/14 gives NH3, nitrate-N × 62/14 gives nitrate, and phosphate-P × 95/31 gives phosphate. If the selected flow is elemental phosphorus instead, report kg P and convert phosphate mass by 31/95 only when that species basis is evidenced. Apply a conversion exactly once only when the method output is on the elemental basis; measured compound mass is not reconverted. Total nutrient losses cannot be assigned to a single species without a supported split, and residual/retained soil nutrient is not an emission. Keep direct/indirect pathway ledgers and avoid repeating a pathway already included in the chosen method or upstream inventory. Factor uncertainty ranges screen factors on their stated basis, not final compound amounts or admissible site emissions. Normalize the attributable compound mass once using the accepted reference quantity and the matched measured output. Unknown activity, identity or compartment remains an evidence gap and blocks a completeness claim.	`cp_manure`; `cp_pathway_emissions`; species-specific activity ledger, method pathway and factor basis, matched accepted output	Identity-specific exchanges and reconciled activity records

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
`dq_identity`	Final live output	Distinguish Oryctolagus and Lepus, class, alive state, mass, count and real gate; no meat/slaughter identity.	species ledger and calibrated weight
`dq_route`	Farm/capture	Record housing shares; wild capture requires jurisdictional permission and welfare/transport evidence.	husbandry log or permit/campaign log
`dq_period`	Multi-period farm/assets	Date breeding, rearing, replacement and asset service; avoid duplicated transfer/asset burdens.	cohort/asset ledger
`dq_inventory`	All flows	Reconcile animal, feed, water, material, manure and mortality balances; investigate out-of-screen ranges rather than treating them as defaults.	meters, inventories and transfers

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
`validate_species_gate`	Reference/final output	Require species-specific live mass/count at actual farm or lawful capture gate; reject farm-gate UUID on capture and slaughter/meat records.	`un-cpc-2025`; `vic-hare-control`
`validate_capture`	Wild hare route	Require observed permit, jurisdiction, capture count, welfare/handling and live handover; missing legal evidence excludes capture route, not replaced by farm production.	`vic-hare-control`
`validate_route`	Managed rabbits	Check cage/floor housing, bedding, utilities and manure by cohort; variants may coexist but capture is not a managed parent variant.	`fao-rabbit-housing`
`validate_balance`	Outputs/loss	Reconcile weanlings, live breeder culls, final live animals, deaths, released hares, manure product and disposal by distinct gate.	`fao-rabbit-production`; `vic-hare-control`
`validate_attribution`	Shared/period burdens	Check output set, handover, allocation method, phase linkage and one-time assignment of sheds, water systems, traps and vehicles.	`fao-rabbit-production`; `fao-rabbit-housing`
`validate_ranges`	Inventory cards	Provisional zero-to-upper ranges are QA investigation screens, never assumed amounts or emission factors; replace with measured/reviewed values.	`fao-rabbit-production`
`v_feed_loss_burden`	Feed balances	Reject a feed-input inventory that subtracts in-boundary wastage without retaining its upstream burden. Match intake, losses, stocks and unused returns, and document the loss treatment; no automatic co-product credit.	`review-fao-pig-lca-2018`
`v_pathway_emission_coverage`	`breeder`; `rearing`	Require a pathway coverage ledger for enteric CH4 where biologically applicable, manure CH4, direct/indirect N2O, NH3 and relevant field emissions. Every pathway needs a measured/calculated value, a named linked process with matching coverage, or supported inapplicability; absent data cannot become zero. Keep wild life before capture outside managed husbandry, assess actual managed holding separately, and retain species-specific evidence.	`ipcc-livestock-2019`; `review-ipcc-soils-2019`; `review-eea-manure-2023`
`v_foreground_emission_responsibility`	Actual operated nodes and linked services	Record responsibility for on-site fuel combustion and refrigerant leakage when applicable: either quantified foreground emissions or a named linked process explicitly covering them, never merely a fuel-supply or electricity-production input. Assess special-taxon biological and residue emissions using species/route evidence, without a generic livestock factor. Identify any unresolved pathway and withhold a completeness claim; document supported absence and prevent duplicate upstream/downstream accounting.
`v_feed_supply_intake_separation`	All feed inputs	Reject an upstream feed inventory reduced by in-boundary refusal, spoilage or discarded leftovers without retaining their production burden. Reconcile supply, intake, stock, transfers and loss destinations under calc_feed_supply_and_intake. Do not reuse intake as supplied feed, assume zero-burden on-site feed or grant automatic avoided-product credits.	`review-fao-pig-lca-2018`
`v_manure_n2o_coverage`	Applicable manure and managed-soil N pathways	Require explicit direct and indirect pathway coverage, stage N balances and molecular-mass conversion. Map each component to an existing N2O card or an explicitly covering linked process once under calc_manure_n2o_coverage. Missing indirect-pathway evidence prevents a completeness claim; no default zero or duplicate aggregate-plus-components.	`ipcc-livestock-2019`; `review-ipcc-soils-2019`

System boundary rules · 6

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`boundary_live`	Both routes	End with a living animal at the real handover; exclude slaughter, meat, hides, fur and downstream use.	un-cpc-2025
`boundary_farm`	Managed domestic rabbits	Include breeder/rearing stock, feed, water, housing, health and manure only where operated; purchases retain upstream burden.	fao-rabbit-production, fao-rabbit-housing
`boundary_housing`	Managed housing variants	Rabbit breeding/rearing is the biological parent. Cages versus floor/litter change bedding, cleaning, housing energy and manure handling; record real shares, not universal yields.	fao-rabbit-housing
`boundary_capture`	Living wild hares	Include only documented lawful live trapping, welfare handling and actual capture handover; no fictitious breeder, feed or farm gate. Missing legal evidence makes the route ineligible.	vic-hare-control
`boundary_shared`	Shared assets	Attribute sheds, feeders, water systems, traps and vehicles once over consuming nodes and service periods; avoid duplicate transfers.	fao-rabbit-housing, vic-hare-control
`reference_handover_linkage`	actual reference-product boundary	Record reference_handover as the same physical producer handover already represented by its source rows. It must not extend the gate or insert new processing, capture, storage, transport, service or capital burdens. For a unit-process projection, keep the actually operated stage references; the handover record may be a boundary interface in the resulting foreground package, not an invented standalone operation. Select one actual qualified route/output stratum; trace matching source and input as internal transfers and expose the accepted reference product once. If the source already ended at this gate, partition its existing handover responsibility without counting it again.

Allocation rules · 4

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`allocation_subdivide`	All nodes	Assign measured inputs, emissions and losses directly to breeder, rearing, farm handover or lawful capture first. Wild hares inherit no farm breeding burden.	fao-rabbit-production, vic-hare-control
`allocation_outputs`	Weanlings, live culls, final animals and usable exported manure	Enumerate distinct intended outputs only with actual handover, mass and receiver. Internal transfers are not second final outputs; deaths, disposal and released hares are not saleable co-products. For inseparable farm burdens use animal-days or measured feed/service causality; if unsupported use same-period economic values, documented prices and sensitivity.	fao-rabbit-production, fao-rabbit-housing
`allocation_periods`	Breeding, rearing and capture	Assign breeder maintenance, gestation, lactation, weaning, replacement and housing service to benefited cohorts over documented periods. Transfer each kit's prior burden once to rearing. Capture equipment/handling belongs only to observed campaign.	fao-rabbit-production, vic-hare-control
`allocation_shared`	Sheds, feeders, water systems, traps and vehicles	Name every consuming node/period; allocate measured burden once by meter, occupied animal-days, service-hours or trips. Document a share sum of one and avoid charging again at internal transfer.	fao-rabbit-housing, vic-hare-control
