Method

Every number says what kind of number it is

Livestock numbers come from FAOSTAT production statistics and the IFCN Dairy Research Network. Accessibility, feed intake and growth are calibrated to market knowledge. Feed values use published prices where we have them and say so where we don't. Anomalies in source data are flagged, not silently corrected.

ReportedPublished by a statistical source (e.g. FAO, IFCN).
Expert estimateCalibrated from market knowledge; carries a stated range where available.
DerivedCalculated by StockMundi from reported and expert inputs.
ForecastModel projection under stated growth assumptions. Not observed data.
Trusted priceValued at a market price from a cited, trusted source.
Estimated priceValued at an estimated price. Replace with a trusted price when available.
