Municipal Cattle Production and Predominant Breeds Since 2017

Data from 2017 onward details cattle farming types and predominant breeds across municipalities. It includes counts and percentages for animals in dual-purpose, specialized dairy, and integrated fattening systems. The dataset is published by the Colombian government via datos.gov.co.

Use Cases

• Analyze regional specialization by comparing 'Doble Propósito %' and 'Lecheria especializada %' across 'Municipio'.
• Model the relationship between 'Razas o Cruces Predominantes' and production system percentages ('Ceba integral %', 'Doble Propósito %').
• Track annual changes in animal counts ('Doble Propósito Numero de animales', 'Ceba integral Numero de animales') by 'AÑO' and 'Municipio'.
• Identify municipalities with high concentrations of integrated fattening systems using 'Ceba integral %' and 'Municipio'.

Strengths

• Contains data from 2017 onward, providing a multi-year view.
• Includes 11 columns covering production types, breed information, and animal counts.
• Geographic granularity is provided at the municipal level ('Municipio').

Limitations

• Sample data is unavailable to verify data quality or structure.
• Presence of 'Unnamed Column' and 'Unnamed Column 1' suggests potential formatting issues.
• Total row count and completeness of records for all municipalities are unknown.
