Raising of sheep and goats

NACE v2.0 Code: A01.45

About raising of sheep and goats

NACE code 01.45 covers the raising of sheep and goats, an important agricultural activity that plays a vital role in the global economy. This industry is responsible for the production of meat, milk, and wool, which are essential commodities in many regions around the world. The raising of sheep and goats is particularly prevalent in areas with suitable climates and terrain, contributing to the livelihoods of farmers and supporting local economies.

Production process

The production techniques involved in the raising of sheep and goats typically include grazing, feeding, breeding, and shearing. Farmers often utilize pastures, rangelands, or other open spaces to allow their herds to graze on natural vegetation. Supplementary feeding with hay, grains, or other feedstuffs may be necessary, especially during periods of limited forage availability. Breeding programs are carefully managed to maintain the health and productivity of the herd, while shearing is conducted to harvest the valuable wool or cashmere fibers.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the raising of sheep and goats include land for grazing, water sources, feed and fodder, breeding stock, and specialized equipment such as shearing tools. Farmers may also require access to veterinary services, fencing materials, and transportation to move the animals and their products to market. The availability and quality of these inputs can significantly impact the productivity and profitability of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the raising of sheep and goats are meat, milk, and wool. The meat and milk produced can be consumed directly or further processed into a variety of dairy products. The wool and other fiber materials, such as cashmere, are used in the textile industry 13.10 Manufacture of textiles. The outputs of this industry may also serve as inputs for other related NACE codes, such as 10.11 Processing and preserving of meat and 10.51 Operation of dairies and cheese making.
