LIVESTOCK
AND POULTRY SLAUGHTERED IN ABATTOIRS July 2009
In line with the
process of harmonising the livestock production statistics with the European
standards, monthly data collection on livestock and poultry slaughtered in
abattoirs has been introduced since 1 January 2009 instead of the former
quarterly data collection.
Apart from changes
in data collection frequency, some changes in the categories of livestock and
poultry observed have also taken place.
The highest
increase in July, as compared to June, was recorded for the net weight of
slaughtered cattle, by as much as 15%, and for the weight of slaughtered sheep
by 12%.

NOTES
ON METHODOLOGY
Sources
and methods of data collection
The reports on livestock and poultry slaughtering (PO-52/M
and PO-52/M/OBRT forms) are submitted on monthly basis, separately for legal
entities and for tradesmen. The forms have been harmonised with methodological
and legal regulations of the EU.
This
survey serves for collecting data on the number of slaughtered livestock by
types and categories, their weight before slaughtering (gross weight), the
weight of dressed carcass (net weight) and data on coefficients of utilisation.
All
livestock and poultry slaughtered on the territory of the Republic of Croatia
and those imported from the EU countries or outside of the EU have been
registered.
Coverage
and comparability
Reporting units that submit monthly reports on livestock and
poultry slaughtering are legal entities, parts thereof and tradesmen engaged in
the activity of livestock and poultry slaughtering. The Address Book for Legal
Entities and Parts Thereof (PO-52/M form) and that for tradesmen (PO-52/M/OBRT)
was taken over from the Entry Book of Approved Facilities of the Ministry of
Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development – Veterinarian Directorate.
Definitions
Net
weight is the weight of dressed carcass of slaughtered
animals without skin and blood, eviscerated and beheaded (not including piglets
and poultry), and after removal of the viscera, fore ends and hind legs with
knuckle.
Coefficient of utilisation of slaughtered livestock and poultry is a percentage ratio of the
weight of the slaughtered cattle and poultry (net weight) and the weight of
livestock and live poultry (gross weight), and it is presented in percentage
calculated to one decimal place.
