N2 - Sustainable livestock production systems are needed to feed the larger, more urban, richer and older world population in 2050. Quantitative information about the sustainability performance of existing livestock production systems can aid the debate of which actions could be developed and implemented. Strong points of conventional and organic dairy cattle, beef cattle, pig, laying hen, and broiler production systems were identified in peer-reviewed literature for a limited number of sustainability indicators within the subjects of economy, productivity, environment, animal welfare, and public health. This study aims to identify lessons learned for sustainable livestock production.
