Animal movement is an important factor in the transmission of infectious diseases among livestock. A better understanding of animal movement characteristics provides a more reliable estimation of disease spread and promotes modeling studies. In Japan, all the cattle movement information is recorded in a national database called the Individual Cattle Identification Register (ICIR)." Our previous studies using this information demonstrated heterogeneity in the movement of dairy and beef cows according to location, season, and age. The present study describes the probability distributions of the movement of Japanese dairy and beef cows in the following month on a regional basis.
This publication contains four probability distribution datasets for the predicted locations of dairy and beef cows in Japan in the following month, which were developed using individual cattle movement information obtained from the ICIR. These datasets provide information on cattle movement in the following month on a regional basis, given properties such as birth region, location, time, and age.
动物的移动是家畜传染病传播的一个重要因素。更好地了解动物的移动特征可以更可靠地估计疾病的传播，并促进建模研究。在日本，所有的牛只移动信息都记录在一个名为“个体牛识别登记册”（ICIR）的国家数据库中。“我们之前使用这些信息的研究表明，根据位置、季节和年龄的不同，奶牛和肉牛的移动存在异质性。本研究描述了日本奶牛和肉牛在下一个月在区域基础上的移动概率分布。
本出版物包含四个概率分布数据集，用于预测日本奶牛和肉牛在下一个月的预测地点，这些数据集是使用从 ICIR 获得的个体牛只移动信息开发的。这些数据集提供了基于出生地区、位置、时间和年龄等属性的下一个月牛只移动的区域信息。
