Purpose and history
The purpose of "Livestock units in agriculture" is to produce statistics describing the number of livestock units in farm holdings, including figures for type of farm holding, area of farm holding and geographical distribution of farm holdings.
Furthermore, the livestock holdings are also described according to their distribution as harmonious or non-harmonious, regarding the level of livestock units per hectare.
Description of Contents
As a whole the statistics describe:
Number of holdings
Number of livestock units
Area
Area of harmonious holdings
Area of non-harmonious holdings
Number of holdings with more than 250 livestock units (DE)
The statistics cover the following details:
Number of holdings classified by:
Holding size group, county, livestock units per holding, type of holding, degree of harmoniousness/non-harmoniousness and manure capacity.
Number of livestock units classified by:
Livestock units per holding, holding size group, livestock type, county, type of holding and degree of harmoniousness/non-harmoniousness.
Area classified by:
Livestock units per holding, holding size group, type of holding, county and degree of harmoniousness/non-harmoniousness.
Area surplus or deficit classified by:
Type of holding, degree of harmoniousness/non-harmoniousness, county and holding size group.
Number of holdings larger than 250 livestock units (DE) classified by:
Livestock type, part of the country, degree of harmoniousness/non-harmoniousness and holding size group.
Number of livestock units on holdings larger than 250 livestock units (DE) classified by:
Livestock type, part of the country, degree of harmoniousness/non-harmoniousness and holding size group.
Area of holdings larger than 250 livestock units (DE) classified by:
Livestock type, part of the country, degree of harmonious/non-harmonious and holding size group.
Area deficit of holdings larger than 250 livestock units (DE) classified by:
Degree of harmoniousness/non-harmoniousness, holding size group, type of holding and part of the country.
Livestock units per holding on holdings larger than 250 livestock units (DE) classified by:
Type of holding and part of the country.
Statistical Concepts
Livestock unit:
One livestock unit is a unit of calculation which until 19 December 1999 corresponded to a dairy cow of large stock without breeding. As from 19 December 1999, one livestock unit corresponds to a maximum of 100 kg of nitrogen in manure (ex stock) including the quantity deposited by the animals on the field. The conversion factors for individual animal species are specified in Annex 1 to the Order.
Type of holding:
There are five categories:
Cattle, pigs, poultry, other livestock holdings and plant growers with livestock.
If e.g. two thirds of the livestock units on a holding are pigs, then the holding falls into the category pigs. The category other livestock holdings comprises mixed holdings where cattle, pigs or poultry each constitutes less than two thirds of the livestock units. Holdings with less then 0.5 livestock units per hectare are (notwithstanding the above mentioned rules) regarded as plant growers with livestock.
