# Livestock Health and Productivity - Sub-Saharan Africa
Synthetic dataset capturing livestock health, productivity, and management practices across smallholder farms in Sub-Saharan Africa. Covers cattle, goats, sheep, poultry, pigs, and donkeys with production and health metrics.
## Dataset Statistics
| Scenario | Records |
|----------|---------|
| Low Burden | 4,000 |
| Moderate Burden | 5,000 |
| High Burden | 6,000 |
| **Total** | **15,000** |
**Key Metrics:**
- 10 countries with diverse livestock systems
- Years: 2018-2025
- 52 columns covering health, productivity, and economics
- Cattle mortality: 8-15% in smallholder systems
- Milk yields: 2-5L/day vs 15-25L potential

## Usage Example
```python
import pandas as pd
# Load the dataset
df = pd.read_csv('livestock_health_productivity_africa_moderate_burden.csv')
# Mortality by species
mortality = df.groupby('primary_species')['mortality_rate_pct'].mean()
print(f"Mortality by species:\n{mortality}")
# Milk yield by production system
milk = df[df['primary_species'] == 'cattle'].groupby('production_system')['milk_yield_l_day'].mean()
print(milk)
# Economic analysis by breed type
economics = df.groupby('breed_type')[['net_income_usd', 'productivity_index']].mean()
print(economics)
```
