Provincially Licensed Meat Plants in Ontario with Animal Classes

Government of Ontario data identifies provincially licensed abattoirs, freestanding meat plants, and further processing facilities. The dataset includes plant name, number, contact information, latitude and longitude coordinates, and animal class for slaughter operations across the province.

Use Cases

• Map plant locations using latitude and longitude coordinates for spatial analysis of meat industry distribution.
• Analyze the frequency of animal class types (e.g., beef, pigs, poultry) across licensed facilities.
• Link plant number and contact information with other regulatory datasets for compliance tracking.

Strengths

• Includes precise geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) for spatial mapping.
• Covers a specific and regulated industry sector across the entire province of Ontario.
• Lists multiple distinct animal classes for slaughter, including beef, pigs, poultry, and exotic species.

Limitations

• Unknown row count and dataset size prevent assessment of comprehensiveness.
• Lacks column definitions and sample data, obscuring data structure and content details.
