Provincial Meat Plant Condemnations for Pathological Conditions

Monthly and yearly data on animal part condemnations in provincially inspected slaughter plants in Ontario. It records totals by animal type, condemnation type, and reason for condemnation. The dataset is published by the Government of Ontario and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in 'bovine' condemnations over 'year' and 'month' to identify seasonal patterns in cattle diseases.
• Compare the 'reason for condemnation' frequencies across 'caprine', 'ovine', and 'porcine' animal types to prioritize veterinary interventions.
• Model the relationship between 'type of condemnation' and 'totals' for 'poultry and rabbits' to forecast production losses.
• Track the annual total condemnation 'totals' for 'camelid, cervid, and ratite' species to monitor emerging health risks in niche livestock.

Strengths

• Data covers multiple animal types including bovine, porcine, and poultry.
• Includes temporal dimensions with 'year' and 'month' columns for time-series analysis.
• Published by a provincial government authority, suggesting official record-keeping.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column count, and sample size are unknown.
• Geographic coverage is limited to provincially inspected plants in Ontario, Canada.
• Data granularity (e.g., per plant or region) is unspecified.
