Results of Cattle Breeding
Methodology | Contents |
Outputs of the semi-annual sample survey on cattle are included in the publication. List of respondents was generated from updated Farm Register. Grossing-up process and data publication were carried out up to the level of structural data in Agrocensus 2000, i.e. estimates for units below thresholds (i.e. “hobby activities”) are not included. This approach is in compliance with the EU legislation defining the statistical reporting unit with specified thresholds.
Survey on cattle is carried out in form of a sample survey with grossing-up. Sample set is stratified according to grossing-up group of the reporting unit, number of livestock kept, productive sub-sector and region, where is the reporting unit farming or placed. Percentage of units selected for the survey is based on the number of livestock kept. Legal as well as natural person units are covered in the sample set.
Background data for the semi-annual sample survey on cattle comes from book-keeping and stock records of the reporting units. Data on milk collection is taken over from the Ministry of Agriculture.
Survey results are published not only as national totals but also by region (NUTS 3).
