The layer shows the density of livestock in LSU/km2 for the year 2010. It is derived from the Land and Water Resources theme of the GAEZv4 database of FAO. Livestock distribution data contained in GAEZ v4 were provided by the 30 arc-second resolution raster maps of the Gridded Livestock of the World database (GLW 2.01; released in May 2014). The GLW includes separate layers with the number of cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and poultry. The example included in the portal refers to ruminant (cattle, sheep, goats) livestock density and can, for instance, be used to compute land requirements for grazing livestock and to estimate the amount of grass/shrub land that may be available for other uses.
