2) CORE PROCESS (IMPROVAC PRODUCTION)The Core Process analysis takes into account resources, emissions and wastes that go into or are givenoff during the production of Improvac (see Figure 3). Improvac constituents (described in the UpstreamProcesses) and packaging materials, as well as electricity and fuels, are transported to a productionfacility, where the fi nal product is formulated. Wastes and air and water emissions are given off as aresult of the formulation process.The analysis covers Improvac production processes for the “two dose” functional unit at the threedifferent production facilities (Kalamazoo, Louvain La Neuve and Parkville), and the assessment resultsrefer to the average two dose unit, calculated using a weighted mean that takes into account differentproductions levels at each plant.Figure 3.

3) DOWNSTREAM PROCESS (USE PHASE AND END OF LIFE)The Downstream Process refers to the following activities (see Figure 4):• Activities related to pig management at the farm level with a life-cycle perspective;• Improvac application 12 ; and• Harvest.Results are calculated by an average among the world-wide macro-regions that participatedin the project.Figure 4.
