摘      要：Livestock units are known as one of the most influential sectors in the environment ***,the aim of this study was to investigate the environmental impacts of milk production in Guilan province of Iran through Life Cycle Assessment(LCA)*** primary data were collected from 45 units of milk production through a field survey with the help of a structured *** reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and was estimated an acceptable value of *** consumption of resources and emissions were allocated to a functional unit(FU)of one ton of *** of emissions in five impact categories of global warming,acidification,eutrophication,photochemical oxidation and depletion of resources were *** results showed that the characterization index for these impact categories were 1831 kg CO2 eq,7.97 kg SO2 eq,3.42 kg PO4^-3 eq,0.21 kg C2H4 eq and 838.39 MJ,*** indices for these impact categories were calculated as 0.24,0.28,0.076,0.017 and 0.046,*** index(EcoX)and resources depletion index(RDI)were obtained 0.61 and 0.04,*** this study,the highest potential for environmental impacts of production revealed for acidification and followed by global warming impact category.
