Livestock contributes directly to the livelihoods and food security of almost a billion people affects diet health many more. With estimated standing populations 1.43 cattle, 1.87 sheep goats, 0.98 pigs, 19.60 chickens, reliable accessible information on distribution abundance livestock is needed for reasons. These include analyses social economic aspects sector; environmental impacts such as production management waste, greenhouse gas emissions livestock-related land-use change; large-scale...
The rapid transformation of the livestock sector in recent decades brought concerns on its impact greenhouse gas emissions, disruptions to nitrogen and phosphorous cycles land use change, particularly deforestation for production feed crops. Animal human health are increasingly interlinked through emerging infectious diseases, zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance. In many developing countries, rapidity change has also had social impacts with increased risk marginalisation smallholder farmers....
Large scale, high-resolution global data on farm animal distributions are essential for spatially explicit assessments of the epidemiological, environmental and socio-economic impacts livestock sector. This has been major motivation behind development Gridded Livestock World (GLW) database, which extensively used since its first publication in 2007. The database relies a downscaling methodology whereby census counts animals sub-national administrative units redistributed at level grid cells...
Climate change is increasingly putting milk production from cattle-based dairy systems in north sub-Saharan Africa (NSSA) under stress, threatening livelihoods and food security. Here we combine livestock heat stress frequency, dry matter feed water accessibility data to understand where environmental changes NSSA's drylands are jeopardizing cattle production. We show that conditions worsened for ∼17% of the study area. Increasing goat camel populations by ∼14% (∼7.7 million) ∼10% (∼1.2...
<title>Abstract</title> The paper describes the production and evaluation of annual livestock densities cattle, horses, sheep goats (including per-pixel 95% probability prediction intervals) at 1~km spatial resolution for 2000—2022 period using spatiotemporal Machine Learning. A compilation subnational census data has been imported, harmonized used as reference (52,883 polygons 678,266 individual points; covering 86% potential land production) to build predictive models correlation with a...
Abstract Governments worldwide have pledged to reduce antimicrobial use in the agri-food system. This study projects global livestock antibiotic quantities through 2040 under various scenarios. work indicates that a business-as-usual scenario, could reach ~143,481 tons by 2040, representing 29.5% increase from 2019 baseline of ~110,777 tons. However, alternative scenarios suggest these projections vary +14.2% -56.8%, depending on changes biomass and intensity. A key contribution this...
There is a growing concern about limited water supply and scarcity in many river basins across the world. The agricultural sector largest user of freshwater on planet, with amount extracted for livestock systems. Here, we use data from GLEAM model to advance previous studies that estimated footprints by quantifying feed production, animal drinking water, service water. We additionally account role trade accounting allocations different animals countries make hydrologic estimate irrigation...
