It is difficult to monitor animal feed availability and quality directly, this is because biomass is not necessarily utilized on the day of growth and deficits can be supplemented with imports from other locations. Instead of monitoring feed availability and quality directly, we estimate proxies, including: length of cropping period (LCP), total annual animal feed production, coefficient of variation of feed production and the proportion of crop residues. Remotely sensed and other spatially representative data provide a basis for generating these proxies.2015-01-012015-12-31KenyaUgandaTanzania, United Republic ofEthiopiaRwandaBurundi300m at the equator / pixel size 0.003Geospatial DataGeographic DataRaster<P><a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/88x31.png" /></a><br /> These data and documents are licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank"> Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.</a> You may copy, distribute and transmit the data as long as you acknowledge the source through proper <a href="http://best-practices.dataverse.org/data-citation/" target="_blank">data citation</a>.</P>DMPcropProp.tifThe proportion of dry matter from crops over 2015 in East Africaimage/tiffDMPcv.tifCoefficient of variation for dry-matter production in 2015 in East Africaimage/tiffDMPmean.tifMean dry-matter production over 2015 in East Africaimage/tiff
