The methodology and sources of data are fully described in a document entitled: "The Gridded Livestock of the World FAO (2007)". In summary, for each country the most recent available sub-national livestock census data and corresponding administrative boundaries have been collected. These are then converted into densities, excluding land unsuitable for livestock (either monogastric or ruminant), to provide the 'observed' data. The data are then disaggregated based on statistical relations with some environmental variables in similar agro-ecological zones to produce the 'predicted' distribution. The predicted data are further manipulated to match national census totals for the year 2000 and the year 2005 according to the FAOSTAT database. The project includes: a global network of data providers on livestock and sub-national boundaries; an Oracle database in which these data are managed and processed; a system for predicting livestock distributions based on environmental data and an interactive web application, the Global Livestock Production and Health Atlas (GLiPHA - http://www.fao.org/ag/aga/glipha/index.jsp), through which data are viewed and disseminated. The files are in a raster GRID format, with an ArcGis layer file and an ArcView legend file. Pixel values represent actual densities (per square kilometre). Projection details are given in the metadata. The map should ideally be viewed with the overlay of national boundaries, water bodies and unsuitable land. All of these supplementary data are available in accompanying zip files. These data have been produced by FAO's Animal Production and Health Division in collaboration with ERGO and the TALA research group, University of Oxford, UK. T.
