Animal production

ISIC v4.0 Code: 014

About animal production

isic code 014 covers the production of a wide range of animals, including livestock, poultry, and other domesticated creatures. This industry plays a vital role in the global economy, providing essential food, fiber, and other animal-derived products that are consumed across various sectors. Animal production is a cornerstone of many national and regional economies, particularly in developing countries where it serves as a significant source of livelihood and sustenance for rural communities.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the animal production industry involve the breeding, rearing, and management of livestock and other domesticated animals. This includes activities such as feeding, housing, healthcare, and breeding management to ensure the optimal growth and productivity of the animals. Farmers and ranchers employ a range of methods, from traditional to highly mechanized, depending on the scale and specialization of their operations.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the animal production industry include land for grazing and housing, feed and fodder, water, veterinary supplies, and specialized equipment and machinery. Farmers and ranchers must carefully manage these inputs to ensure the health and well-being of their animals, as well as the efficiency and sustainability of their operations. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including animal scientists, veterinarians, and experienced farm workers.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the animal production industry include meat, dairy products, eggs, wool, and other animal-derived materials. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, such as 101 Food processing, 131 Textile manufacturing, and 210 Pharmaceutical manufacturing. The animal production industry also generates valuable by-products, such as manure, which can be used as fertilizer in 011 Crop and animal production, or as a source of renewable energy.
