GLEAM3 Production (Global - 2015)

This dataset contains animals products (meat, milk, and eggs) produced by livestock species assessed in GLEAM model for a reference year 2015. For easier comparison, commodities are expressed in units of protein. Note that these values are calculated by the model from herd performance parameters, animal numbers (GLW 4), and other geospatially explicit data.

Aggregated values (for example by country) might therefore deviate from officially reported statistics, for example in FAOSTAT.

The livestock species included in the assessment are buffaloes, cattle, chicken, goats, pigs and sheep.

Pixel with less than 0.2 tons/km² and/or with less than one animal per km² were masked out. For total emissions, the animal density threshold was taken from the combined number of all species, expressed in livestock units (LU).
