Global distribution data for cattle, buffaloes, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens and ducks in 2010.
Abstract: Global data sets on the geographic distribution of livestock are essential for diverse applications in agricultural socio-economics, food security, environmental impact assessment and epidemiology. We present a new version of the Gridded Livestock of the World (GLW 3) database, reflecting the most recently compiled and harmonized subnational livestock distribution data for 2010. GLW 3 provides global population densities of cattle, buffaloes, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens and ducks in each land pixel at a spatial resolution of 0.083333 decimal degrees (approximately 10 km at the equator). They are accompanied by detailed metadata on the year, spatial resolution and source of the input census data. Two versions of each species distribution are produced. In the first version, livestock numbers are disaggregated within census polygons according to weights established by statistical models using high resolution spatial covariates (dasymetric weighting). In the second version, animal numbers are distributed homogeneously with equal densities within their census polygons (areal weighting) to provide spatial data layers free of any assumptions linking them to other spatial variables.

The research article is about the creation of the Gridded Livestock of the World (GLW 3) database, which provides updated and more detailed information on the global distribution of different types of livestock in 2010.
Research Purpose
- The study aims to develop the third version of the Gridded Livestock of the World (GLW 3), a global database showing the geographic distribution of different types of livestock. The database is useful for various applications, including socio-economic analysis in agriculture, food security assessment, evaluating environmental impact, and studying epidemiology.
Methodology
- The GLW 3 database reflects the most recently compiled and harmonized subnational livestock distribution data from the year 2010.
- The research provides global population densities of cattle, buffaloes, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens and ducks in each land pixel at approximately 0.083333 decimal degrees, or roughly 10 km at the equator.
- Each data point in the database is accompanied by detailed metadata, which includes the year, the spatial resolution, and the source of the input census data.
Data Interpretation
- The database features two versions of each species’ distribution. The first version, known as the dasymetric weighting method, disaggregates livestock numbers within census polygons according to weights set by statistical models using high-resolution spatial covariates. This process helps to achieve a more detailed and more accurate geographical distribution of the livestock populations.
- The second version of the species distribution, called the areal weighting method, distributes animal numbers equally within their census polygons. This approach aims to deliver spatial data layers free of any assumptions relating them to other spatial variables, providing a more straightforward overview of the data.
Implications of the Study
- With the GLW 3 database’s creation, researchers, governments, and organizations involved in various sectors will have access to accurate, detailed, and current data regarding the global distribution of livestock. This information can assist in planning agricultural activities, managing livestock resources, understanding food security, assessing environmental impacts, and studying disease epidemiology.
