Other bovine animals

cpc code 02119 covers the production and rearing of other bovine animals, which are an important part of the global livestock industry. These animals, which include water buffaloes, yaks, and various other species, play a crucial role in providing meat, dairy products, and other valuable resources in many regions around the world. Their economic and cultural significance extends beyond just the agricultural sector, as they are often integral to the livelihoods and traditions of communities in developing countries.

The production of other bovine animals typically involves a combination of grazing, feeding, and breeding practices. These animals are often raised in pastoral or semi-nomadic systems, where they graze on natural vegetation and are moved to different areas to access fresh forage. Supplementary feeding with hay, grains, or other feedstuffs may be necessary, especially during periods of low forage availability. Breeding is usually done through natural mating, with selective breeding techniques used to improve the genetic quality of the herd.

The main inputs required for the production of other bovine animals include land for grazing, water sources, and feed resources such as grass, hay, and grains. Specialized equipment, such as fencing, watering systems, and handling facilities, may also be necessary. Additionally, veterinary services and medicines are important inputs to ensure the health and well-being of the animals.

The primary outputs of the other bovine animals industry are meat, milk, and other dairy products. The meat from these animals is often consumed locally or exported to other markets, while the milk is used for the production of a variety of dairy products. Additionally, other bovine animals may be used for draft power, transportation, or as a source of hides and other by-products. The outputs from this industry may be consumed by industries classified under 01410 Raising of dairy cattle, 10110 Processing and preserving of meat, and 10500 Manufacture of dairy products.
