Table 6.4 shows the development in livestock production 1990-2010 based on
the Agricultural Statistics (Statistics Denmark). The number of animal corresponds
to average annual production (AAP), which means the number of
animal that are present on average within the year (EMEP/EEA, 2009). For
many animal categories the number given in annual Agricultural Statistic
can be used directly. However, for pigs, bulls and poultry the number is
based on slaughter data also collected from the Agricultural Statistics.
It has to be mentioned that only farms larger than 5 hectares are included in
the annual census. Especially horses, goats and sheep are placed on small
farms which mean the number of animal given in the Agricultural Statistics
is not representative. Therefore, the number of sheep and goats is based on
the Central House-animal farm Register (CHR) which is the central register
of farms and animal managed by the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and
Fisheries. The number of deer and ostriches is also based on CHR because
these are not included in Statistics Denmark. The number of horses is based
on data from The Danish Agricultural Advisory Service.
The number of pheasants is based on expert judgement from Department of
Bioscience, Aarhus University and pheasant breeding association.
Since 1985, the production of pigs has increased practically. This is contrary
to the production of cattle, which has decreased as a result of rising milk
yields. Buffalo, camels and llamas, mules and donkeys do not occur in Denmark.
