2.1. Data description | |||
The livestock and meat statistics are collected under Regulation (EC) No 1165/2008 since 2009. They cover slaughtering in slaughterhouses (monthly) and other slaughtering (annual), GIP (gross indigenous production) forecast (semi-annual or quarterly data), and livestock statistics (once or twice a year), including regional statistics (annual).This template lists the questions constituting the quality report required in Article 17 of EU Regulation N°1165/2008 on livestock and meat statistics. |

3.1. Source data | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Data sets on pigs and sheep are based on surveys - here stratified random samples with a maximum of 20000 reporting units for pigs and 5000 reporting units for sheep. Sample characteristics for pigs are the number of pigs and breeding sows. Sample characteristics for sheep are the number of sheep and milk ewes. Data on goats are estimated based on the goat slaughterings in a given period. Data sets on bovine animals are based on administrative data sources - here the HIT-database for cattle which was established as a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals according to Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000. For the slaughtering statistics, the reports of the official veterinarians about the examined slaughterings are evaluated monthly by the responsible veterinary offices. The data of the slaughter statistics are secondary statistics based on the compilations of the official veterinarians. But data set on poultry slaughtering are based on surveys. |

6.3. Non-sampling error | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Errors in data collection can be reduced by correctly defining the population. The decisive factor for this is extensive knowledge of the units of the population. The farm register is used for pig/sheep surveys to form the population. This register is updated continuously by the statistical offices, e.g. with data from surveys or administrative data. In particular, the data of the HIT-register are compared annually and used to find new farms. Reports that are only submitted to the statistical offices only after data processing has ended are considered as missing answers in the surveys. Due to a legally defined obligation of the units to give information, almost all reports can be collected. This currently results in a response rate of over 95% at the time of the preliminary results. At the time of the final results, there are almost no missing response. Missing information on the characteristics of the survey will be filled in by inquiries from the regional statistical offices and thus kept as low as possible. Other causes of non-sampling errors are incorrect information provided by reporting units. In most cases, such information is largely recognized and corrected by numerous plausibility checks. |

Bovine animals and slaughterings: No missing units because of use of administrative data for bovine animals and for slaughterings. Poultry slaughterings: No unit non-responses. |
