Description:
In this study, the performance of system changes in Dutch broiler production systems was evaluated using a benefit-of-the-doubt composite indicator.

Keywords:
broiler production, animal welfare, ammonia, particulate matter, composite indicator

Spatial coverage:
Netherlands

Temporal coverage:
2019

The folders contain the following files:
- Model_systemchanges.xlsx: this file contains a model that was used to generate the dataset. 
In this model, various system changes can be selected. When inserting a system change, the model provides the corresponding net return to labor and management, ammonia emissions, particulate matter emissions and the level of animal welfare.
This file contains the following worksheets:
	- Default scenario: simulation results of the default scenario.
	- Scenario feed price + 1 SD: simulation results in case of an increase in feed price by 1 standard deviation.
	- Scenario producer price + 1SD: simulation resulst in case of an increase in producer price by 1 standard deviation.


- The file 'Datasetindicators_Intermediate.xlsx', provides an overview the net return to labor and management, ammonia emissions and particulate matter emissions for all combinations of system changes. The level of animal welfare of the system changes is provided in Table 3 of the paper.
As the benefit-of-the-doubt composite indicator cannot deal with negative values, the values of the sub-indicator NRLM were changed to non-negative values. A description of this change is provided in the notes of this file.

- The file 'Dataset_subindicators_Final.csv' contains the final dataset that was used for the analysis. 

- The file 'BoD_Systemchanges.R' contains the script of the benefit-of-the-doubt composite indicator. The script was written for the data analysis.
