CPC v2.1 Code: 021

About live animals

cpc code 021 covers the trade and production of live animals, a critical sector within the broader agricultural and livestock industry. This industry plays a vital role in providing essential food sources, as well as supplying animals for various other purposes such as transportation, companionship, and research. The live animals industry is a significant contributor to the global economy, with international trade and domestic production generating substantial economic activity and employment opportunities.

Production process

The production of live animals involves a range of techniques, depending on the specific type of animal and its intended use. In general, the process includes breeding, rearing, and maintaining the health and well-being of the animals. This may involve the use of specialized facilities, such as farms, ranches, or breeding centers, as well as the application of various animal husbandry practices, including feeding, grooming, and veterinary care.

Production inputs

The live animals industry requires a variety of inputs, including land for grazing or housing, feed and water for the animals, specialized equipment and machinery for handling and transportation, and a skilled workforce to manage the animals and oversee the production process. Additionally, the industry relies on genetic resources, such as breeding stock, to maintain and improve the quality of the animals produced.

Production outputs

The primary output of the live animals industry is, of course, the live animals themselves, which can be sold for a variety of purposes. These animals may be consumed as food, used for agricultural work, or kept as pets or for other purposes. The live animals produced under cpc code 021 may be further processed or consumed by industries covered under other codes, such as 011 Meat and meat products, 012 Dairy products, or 014 Other animal products.
