<p>Data for chicken farming were up-scaled to one hectare based on the data collected from our experimental 100 m<sup>2</sup> plots; data for traditional sheep grazing were collected in 5000 m<sup>2</sup> experimental plots. The input refers to the costs for purchasing corn, immunization for chickens and the cost of UV-lights, excluding environmental costs and labor. The outputs include the sales of hay produced from the grasses and of the animals/chicken.</p><p>Notes:The income for all products was calculated based on the local market price in 2010. The price of chicken was 5.92 USperkg(1.0USβ=β6.76 Chinese Yuan); the lambs were 11.83 USperkg;thepriceofhaywas0.073US per kg; the price of corn was 0.15 USperkg.ThelifespanofUVβlightlampswasassumedtobefiveyearsandtheaverageinputwas23.6US for each year.
