Analysis
NAICS 112990 is the 2022 national industry for all other animal production, part of 11299 (All Other Animal Production). Census lists 22 example activities under it in the official index.
Census lists 8 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 1121, 1122, 1123 and 1124. 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.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include alpaca production, aviaries (i.e., raising birds for sale), bird production (e.g., canaries, love birds, parakeets… and bison production, among 22 in all.
Its goods appear in 19 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 0106 (other live animals), 0102 (live bovine animals) and 0502 (pigs', hogs' or boars' bristles and hair; badger hair and…). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
For example, raising cattle, dairy cattle, or feeding cattle for fattening are classified in 1121 (Cattle Ranching and Farming) instead.
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.
Official definition
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) raising animals (except cattle, hogs and pigs, poultry, sheep and goats, aquaculture, apiculture, horses and other equines; and fur-bearing animals including rabbits) or (2) raising a combination of animals, with no one animal or family of animals accounting for one-half of the establishment's agricultural production (i.e., value of animals for market).
Illustrative Examples:
Bird production (e.g., canaries, parakeets, parrots) Laboratory animal production (e.g., rats, mice, guinea pigs) Deer production Combination animal farming (except dairy, poultry) Companion animals production (e.g., cats, dogs) Worm production Llama production
