cpc code 0211 covers the production and trade of live bovine animals, which are a crucial component of the global agricultural and food industries. Bovine animals, such as cattle, are raised for their meat, dairy products, and other byproducts, making them an essential source of sustenance and economic activity worldwide. This industry plays a significant role in the broader agricultural sector, contributing to food security, employment, and economic development in many countries.

The production of live bovine animals involves various techniques, including breeding, feeding, and herd management. Farmers and ranchers carefully select and breed cattle to improve genetic traits, such as milk yield, meat quality, and disease resistance. Feeding regimes, which may include grazing on pastures or supplementary feeding with grains and forage, are crucial for the animals' health and growth. Herd management practices, such as disease prevention, veterinary care, and animal welfare considerations, are also essential for the successful rearing of bovine animals.

The main inputs required for the production of live bovine animals include land for grazing and housing, feed (e.g., grasses, hay, grains), water, and specialized equipment (e.g., milking machines, fencing, veterinary supplies). Additionally, farmers and ranchers may require access to breeding stock, veterinary services, and transportation infrastructure to move the animals to markets or processing facilities.
