112920

Analysis

NAICS 112920 is the 2022 national industry for horses and other equine production, part of 11292 (Horses and Other Equine Production). Census lists 5 example activities under it in the official index.

Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include burro production, donkey production, horse (including thoroughbreds) production and mule production, among 5 in all.

Its goods appear in 8 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 0101 (live horses, asses, mules and hinnies) and 5102 (fine or coarse animal hair, not carded or combed). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.

For example, equine boarding and/or training (except racehorses) are classified in 115210 (Support Activities for Animal Production) instead.

Census lists 2 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 115210 and 711219. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.

County Business Patterns does not cover crop and animal production, so there is no establishment count for it; farms are counted by the Census of Agriculture instead.
