Livestock numbers, milk production per animal, off-take rates and carcass weights for the 1970–2005 period were obtained from [[FAO]] ([[FAO, 2012a]]). Various animal production systems, and the total livestock population and production have been defined in recent FAO publications ([[Seré and Steinfeld, 1996]]). For ruminants, these production systems include pastoral, mixed and landless production in various agro-ecological zones. These data have been aggregated to two systems: pastoral, and mixed & landless production systems, and disaggregated from seven world regions to the 24 world regions in the IMAGE model ([[Bouwman et al., 2005]]). [[Seré and Steinfeld, 1996]] also provided data on the growth in livestock populations and on production in each production system. | |||

The key limitation in the current livestock module is that the ruminant livestock system have a soft linkage to the agricultural economy model MAGNET ([[Agricultural economy]]). Although [[MAGNET model|MAGNET]] has some representation of feed substitution and intensification as a result of land scarcity, and mimics the dynamics described here, there is no explicit representation of livestock systems, and physically based feed compositions. | The key limitation in the current livestock module is that the ruminant livestock system have a soft linkage to the agricultural economy model MAGNET ([[Agricultural economy]]).
