Quarterly livestock production data are estimates based on the following data sources:

• CSB statistical questionnaires:
  • 1-poultry "Report on poultry farming";
  • 11-purchase "Report on Purchase and Slaughtering of Livestock".
• data of the Milk Producer Register managed by the Rural Support Service;

Statistics on meat produced in slaughter houses is acquired from the following data sources:

• data of the Slaughterhouse Electronic Reporting System managed by the Rural Support Service;
• CSB statistical questionnaire 11-purchase "Report on Purchase and Slaughtering of Livestock".

Sample for the survey 3-LS "Livestock Production" has been formed as stratified simple random sample. Holdings are stratified basing on their location (NUTS 3 level region), type of farming and economic size.

Extrapolation of the data on the surveyed holdings to all agricultural holdings is based on the number of similar holdings represented by sampled holdings as well as actual response rate in each of the survey territories.
