Mixed Species Farms Buying Feed with Restricted Proteins in 2013

APHA's Processed Animal Proteins Database records from 2013 detail mixed species farms that were registered and purchased feed containing restricted proteins while also keeping ruminants. The dataset is attributed to Crown Copyright and the Animal and Plant Health Agency from 2016. The data is provided by the Government Digital Service via the eu_open_data platform.

Use Cases

• Analyze farm compliance with feed regulations based on the registration status and feed purchase data.
• Study the co-existence of ruminant and non-ruminant species on farms based on the 'mixed species' and 'keeping ruminants' criteria.
• Monitor the prevalence of restricted protein use in animal feed within a specific regulatory year (2013).

Strengths

• Data originates from an official government agency (APHA) and a regulatory database.
• The dataset has a specific temporal focus on the year 2013.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
