IMAGE distinguishes five types of livestock: beef, dairy cattle (large ruminants), the category sheep & goats (small ruminants), pigs, and poultry (monogastrics). The numbers of animals and the proportion per production system are calculated from data on domestic livestock production per region provided by the agro-economic model MAGNET ([[Agricultural economy and forestry]]). The number of animals in each of the five livestock types is calculated from the total production per region and the characteristics of the livestock systems in that region.
