The probability distributions of the movement of dairy and beef cattle in Japan: a data note

Objectives:
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.
Data description:
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.

研究目标：
动物运动是家畜间传染性疾病传播的重要影响因素。深入理解动物运动特征有助于更可靠地估计疾病传播范围，并促进模型研究。在日本，所有牛肉和乳牛的运动信息均记录在国家数据库——个体牛肉识别登记册（ICIR）中。我们先前利用该信息进行的研究表明，根据地理位置、季节和年龄，乳牛和肉牛的运动存在异质性。本项研究描述了日本乳牛和肉牛在接下来一个月内区域性的运动概率分布。
数据描述：
本出版物包含四个预测日本乳牛和肉牛在接下来一个月内预测位置的概率分布数据集，这些数据集是基于从ICIR获取的个体牛肉运动信息开发的。这些数据集提供了基于出生地区、位置、时间和年龄等属性，关于接下来一个月内牛只区域性运动的信息。
