Livestock

The DiCRA Livestock Portal provides a comprehensive, interactive interface to explore livestock-related data derived from climate datasets. It enables users to visualize livestock heat-index vulnerability, statistics, trends, and patterns.

Dashboard​

Navigate to the DiCRA Livestock Portal. Upon loading, the main dashboard interface typically consists of:

  • a Livestock Heat Impact map visualiser
  • livestock statistics on the left sidebar

The interface is responsive and interactive, enabling you to zoom, pan, and explore spatial data visually.

Livestock Heat Impact​

Selecting any location on the map within the heat-impact dashboard opens the info panel on the right-hand side for that location. You can also search for a location using the search box at the top left.

The heat-impact info panel provides:

  • location and latitude/longitude
  • cattle heat index methodology
  • current heat-stress value with a severity label
  • 7-day forecast for heat stress
  • historical heat-impact trends across 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month views

This helps you identify regions of potential risk due to heat-impact stressors and understand how heat impact changes over time, aiding understanding of how climatic variables correlate with livestock productivity or health.

Livestock Statistics​

Selecting any location on the map within the Livestock Statistics section opens the info panel on the right-hand side for that location. Data is provided at a district level.

The statistics info panel provides:

  • district and state info
  • livestock population data
  • poultry population data
  • number of veterinary hospitals and veterinary doctors within the district
  • a pie chart showing cattle distribution, followed by the individual population numbers for each cattle type

This helps you understand livestock population numbers and identify geographic hotspots of concentration.
