Animal Production (NAICS 112)

Under this topic you will find the North American Industry Classification System definition of the Animal Production (NAICS 112) subsector. You can use this definition to properly identify the segment of the industry you wish to study further in other sections of Canadian Industry Statistics.

Definition of the Subsector

This subsector comprises establishments, such as ranches, farms and feedlots, primarily engaged in raising animals, producing animal products and fattening animals. Industries have been created taking into account input factors such as suitable grazing or pasture land, specialized buildings, type of equipment, and the amount and type of labour required. An establishment is classified to a NAICS industry or a national level industry within this subsector provided that fifty percent or more of the establishment's agricultural production consists of the products of that industry. Establishments with fifty percent or more animal production and with no one product or family of products of an industry accounting for fifty percent of the production are treated as combination animal farms and classified to 11299, All Other Animal Production.
