Animal production

NACE v2.1 Code: A01.4

About animal production

NACE code 01.4 covers the animal production industry, which plays a vital role in the global economy. This sector encompasses the rearing and breeding of a wide range of livestock, including cattle, sheep, goats, horses, poultry, and other animals. The animal production industry is responsible for providing essential food and non-food products, contributing to food security and supporting various downstream industries.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the animal production industry involve the management and care of livestock. This includes breeding, feeding, housing, and health monitoring of the animals. Farmers and ranchers utilize a variety of methods, such as pasture-based systems, intensive indoor farming, and mixed farming approaches, to optimize the productivity and well-being of their livestock.

Production inputs

The animal production industry requires a range of inputs, including land, feed, water, and specialized equipment. Farmers and ranchers rely on various feed sources, such as grains, forage, and supplements, to meet the nutritional needs of their livestock. Additionally, they utilize equipment like milking machines, shearing tools, and veterinary supplies to support the health and management of their animals.

Production outputs

The animal production industry generates a diverse array of outputs, including meat, dairy products, eggs, wool, and other animal-derived materials. These outputs are then consumed by various other NACE codes, such as 10.1 Processing and preserving of meat and production of meat products, 10.5 Manufacture of dairy products, and 13.1 Preparation and spinning of textile fibres, among others. The animal production industry plays a crucial role in supplying raw materials and supporting the operations of these downstream industries.
