Austria - Rise in swine stocks

Pig stocks were recorded by means of sampling at around 4 000 holdings – for the first time directly, so without assistance of towns and municipalities (as the survey bodies) – on the reference date of 1 June 2009 and yielded a total figure of 3 151 000 animals. This corresponds to a 2.9% rise in stocks compared to the date of the last census in December 2008.

This corresponds to a 2.9% rise in stocks compared to the date of the last census in December 2008.

An increase in piglets and young pigs are primarily responsible for this rise, their numbers rising by 4.4% to 1 673 000 animals. The stock of fattening pigs rose during the same period by 1.4% to 1 179 000 animals while the stock of breeding sows almost remained constant at 292 000 (+0.2%).
