About sheep and goats; live
HS code 0104 covers the live trade of sheep and goats, which are important livestock animals with a wide range of uses. These animals are raised globally for their meat, milk, wool, and other byproducts, and play a crucial role in the agricultural and food production sectors. The live trade of sheep and goats is a significant component of the international trade in livestock, with many countries both importing and exporting these animals to meet domestic and global demand.
Production process
The production of live sheep and goats typically involves raising the animals on farms or ranches, where they are bred, fed, and cared for until they reach the appropriate age or size for sale or slaughter. Farmers and ranchers use a variety of techniques to manage their herds, including grazing, supplementary feeding, disease prevention, and selective breeding to improve the animals' health, productivity, and desirable traits.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of live sheep and goats include land for grazing, feed (such as hay, grains, and pasture), water, and various farm equipment and infrastructure (e.g., fencing, shelters, handling facilities). Farmers and ranchers also require access to veterinary services, breeding stock, and labor to care for the animals on a daily basis.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the live sheep and goats industry are the animals themselves, which are sold for meat production, breeding, or other purposes. The meat from these animals is classified under 0204 Sheep or goat meat, fresh, chilled or frozen, while their wool and other byproducts may fall under various other HS codes. The live animals may also be traded internationally for breeding, dairy, or other specialized purposes.
