Livestock farming and meat production

The statistics on livestock and meat serve as input to ensure that the common agricultural policy is properly administered, particularly where the beef, veal, pork, mutton, goat and poultry meat markets are concerned. The data on livestock production and purchase prices also serve as input for economic accounts for agriculture and national accounts.
The production data serve as input for supply balance sheets of agricultural products and the data on animals for material flow accounts.
The data on organic livestock farming are used by the European Commission in monitoring the development of organic farming.
The Estonian Environmental Research Centre uses the data for preparing Estonia’s national inventory on greenhouse gases.

Multisource process

Yearly data: livestock production (meat, milk, eggs, wool, honey, beeswax), change in the number of livestock (cattle, sheep, goats); number of organic livestock and poultry, organic livestock production;
quarterly data: number of cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and poultry as at the last day of the quarter; production of meat, milk and eggs;
monthly data: number of purchased animals, weight and value of meat and offal received from purchased animals; number of slaughtered animals and meat received from them in approved meat establishments.

Combined Nomenclature (CN)

Agriculture

Agricultural holding – a unit with single technical and financial management which produces agricultural products or maintains its land in good agricultural and environmental condition and whose livestock are registered with the Agricultural Registers and Information Board (ARIB) or which exceeds the threshold for agricultural holdings.

Until 2019, the threshold for agricultural holdings was:
- at least one hectare of utilised agricultural area, or
- less than one hectare of utilised agricultural area and agricultural products are produced mainly for sale.

From 2020, the threshold for agricultural holdings is at least:
- 5 hectares of utilised agricultural area or
- 2 hectares of arable land or
- 0.5 hectares of potatoes or
- 0.5 hectares of vegetables and strawberries or
- 0.2 hectares of aromatic and medicinal plants and herbs, flowers, seeds, nurseries or
- 0.3 hectares of fruit and berry plantations, other permanent crops (except nurseries) or
- 100 m2 of greenhouses or
- 1.7 livestock units.

Agricultural small unit – a unit which is smaller than an agricultural holding and whose land use is not registered with the Agricultural Registers and Information Board (ARIB), and where there are at least:
- 50 square metres of kitchen garden or three fruit trees or six berry bushes, or
- 10 rabbits, 10 poultry heads or other agricultural animals, or
- three colonies of bees.

Agricultural producer – a legal or natural person, or a group of legal or natural persons, whose holding is situated in Estonia and who engages in agricultural activity

Approved meat establishments – according to the Food Act, all enterprises must receive approval from the Agriculture and Food Board. Approval is a procedure, in the course of which the food-processing companies or their parts are checked with regard to their compliance with the Food Act, Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and with all other relevant regulations governing food processing.

Average number of laying hens – quotient of number of laying hens' feeding days and number of calendar days of the reference quarter (year)

Average yield per cow – average quantity of milk obtained in a quarter (year) per dairy cow

Average yield per hen – average quantity of eggs obtained in a quarter (year) per laying hen

Bovine meat – the weight of a slaughtered bovine animal’s cold body after having been skinned, bled and eviscerated, and after removal of the genital organs with the attached muscles and the udder and the mammary fat, after the feet have been severed at the carpo-metacarpal or tarsometatarsal joints and the removal of the head

Bulls – non-castrated male bovine animals not included under calves and young cattle

Bullocks – castrated male bovine animals not included under calves and young cattle

Certified organic products – agricultural products received from a fully converted organic agricultural area or certified organic livestock and that can be labelled as fully organic

Conversion period – transition from non-organic to organic farming, within a given time period, during which the provisions concerning organic production are applied. During that period, the production cannot yet be labelled as organic.

Cows – female bovine animals who have calved at least once

Dairy cows – cows kept to produce milk

Enterprise – an enterprise consists of one or more companies (public limited company, private limited company, limited partnership, general partnership, commercial association) or branches of foreign companies or sole proprietors

Fattening pigs – fattening pigs with live weight of 50 kg or more, including cull boars and cull sows

Fully converted – agricultural area and/or livestock which has passed the fixed conversion period from non-organic to organic farming, during which the provisions concerning organic production were applied and will continue to be applied. After the conversion period, the production can be labelled as organic.

Heifers – female bovine animals who have not yet calved and who are not included under calves and young cattle

Livestock unit (LSU) – a standard measurement unit that allows the aggregation of various kinds of livestock and poultry. Livestock units are defined on the basis of the feed requirements of individual animal categories. A dairy cow corresponds to one livestock unit, the coefficients of other animals are smaller (e.g. bovine animal – 0.8; fattening pig – 0.3; broiler – 0.007). The coefficients of livestock units are stated in Regulation (EU) 2018/1091 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Meat production – meat of animals sold to meat production and processing enterprises (slaughterhouses) or to buyers for slaughter, incl. for export (from Estonia to third countries as well as to other European Union countries), and meat of animals slaughtered in slaughterhouses belonging to holdings or slaughtered elsewhere as a service

Mutton and goat meat – the weight of a slaughtered sheep or goat’s cooled body after having been skinned, bled and eviscerated (except the kidneys, kidney fats), and after removal of the head (separated at the atloido-occipital joint), of the feet (severed at the carpo-metacarpal or tarsometatarsal joints), of the tail (severed between the sixth and seventh caudal vertebrae) and of the genital organs (including udder)

Offal – heart, lungs, liver and tongue (excl. tongue of sheep and goat)

Organic farming – sustainable production of agricultural produce, which maintains basic equilibrium, and is carried out in compliance with the Organic Farming Act and other relevant legislation. Holdings with organic production have the approval of the Agriculture and Food Board (either fully compliant with the principles of organic production or still in a conversion period).

Other cows – cattle for fattening, suckler cows, cows of a beef breed

Pig-meat – the weight of a slaughtered pig’s cooled body after having been bled and eviscerated and after removal of kidneys and flare fat, the bristles, the genital organs, the tongue, the diaphragm and the hooves

Poultry – domestic birds of any species

Purchase – animals and poultry purchased from Estonian agricultural producers

Value – purchase price, excluding value added tax

The dissemination of data collected for the purpose of producing official statistics is guided by the requirements provided for in § 33, § 34, § 35, § 36, § 38 of the Official Statistics Act.
Access to microdata and anonymisation of microdata are regulated by Statistics Estonia’s procedure for dissemination of confidential data for scientific purposes.

Data on livestock farming are submitted to Eurostat in accordance with the dates and data sets specified in EU legislation.

Data on trade in farmyard poultry chicks (617/2008) are not currently submitted separately to Eurostat, as it has been agreed that they will obtain these data directly from foreign trade data. Data on poultry chicks hatched in hatcheries are also submitted to Eurostat (with a confidentiality flag) if there are hatcheries, but these data are not published in Estonia due to confidentiality reasons (there are currently no hatcheries in Estonia). The data are transferred to Eurostat via the data transmission program EDAMIS.

Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1165/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council, a report is compiled every three years describing the methodology applied and level of precision achieved. A quality report on the statistics on laying hens and their eggs and on hatcheries and trade in farmyard poultry chicks is also submitted.

Data serve as input for statistical activities 21206 “Purchase and use of milk”, 21207 “Economic accounts for agriculture”, 21209 “Statistical register of agricultural holdings” and 21213 “Supply balance sheets of agricultural products”.

The metadata related to the statistical activity were viewed 64 times (1 January 2024 – 31 December 2024). This figure does not represent the number of viewers, as the metadata may have been viewed multiple times by a single user.

Handbook "Organic Production Statistics""

Pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2022/2379 of the European Parliament and of the Council a report is compiled every three years describing the methodology applied and level of precision achieved.
A summary of the quality report is published on Eurostat's website in the section Animal production.

To assure the quality of processes and products, Statistics Estonia applies the European Statistics Code of Practice and the Quality Assurance Framework of the European Statistical System (ESS QAF). Statistics Estonia is also guided by the EFQM Excellence Model and the requirements in section 7 “Principles and quality criteria of producing official statistics” of the Official Statistics Act.

Statistics Estonia performs all statistical activities according to an international model (Generic Statistical Business Process Model – GSBPM). According to the GSBPM, the final phase of statistical activities is overall evaluation using information gathered in each phase or sub-process; this information can take many forms, including feedback from users, process metadata, system metrics and suggestions from employees. This information is used to prepare the evaluation report which outlines all the quality problems related to the specific statistical activity and serves as input for improvement actions.
Quality is managed by the quality manager.

The main representative of public interest in Estonia is the Ministry of Regional Affairs and Agriculture.

Livestock and meat statistics are needed in order to ensure that the EU's common agricultural policy (CAP) is properly administered, particularly where the beef, veal, pigmeat, sheepmeat, goatmeat and poultrymeat markets are concerned.

In accordance with a regulation established on the basis of the Veterinary Act, the animal purchase prices published by Statistics Estonia also serve as the basis for compensation for losses incurred as a result of animal disease control measures. Data on livestock production and purchase prices of meat also serve as input for the economic accounts for agriculture and the national accounts. Production data are an input for the supply balance sheets of agricultural products and animal data for the material flow accounts.

Data on organic livestock farming is used by the European Commission to monitor the development of organic farming. The Estonian Environmental Research Centre uses the data to compile the Estonian national greenhouse gas inventory.

Since 1996, Statistics Estonia has conducted reputation and user satisfaction surveys. Surveys conducted at least once a year target both the existing and potential consumers of statistics. All results are available on Statistics Estonia's website in the section User surveys. The survey referred to does not concern a specific statistical activity but is a general satisfaction survey.

Information on user satisfaction can also be obtained through user feedback, which has been mostly positive.

The requirements set out in the legislation, the handbook and other Eurostat instructions (see "Legal acts and other agreements" and "Documentation on methodology") are fulfilled. All legally required indicators have been collected and transmitted to Eurostat.

All required indicators have been collected and calculated (completeness 100%).

The type of survey and the data collection methods ensure sufficient accuracy.

Not applicable as this is not a sample survey.

Not applicable as this is not a sample survey.

An effort is made to reduce non-sampling errors through methodological improvements and survey process improvements, incl. through minimising under- and over-coverage of the frame.

The sample frame is the list of enterprises with poultry obtained from the Agricultural Registers and Information Board and the list of major purchasers of livestock.

The type of survey and the data collection methods ensure sufficient coverage.

An effort is made to avoid measurement errors through multi-stage control procedures. There is no information on major measurement errors. The questionnaires are carefully designed, are in electronic format, and include a number of arithmetical and logical checks. Where possible, the questionnaires are prefilled with administrative data.

Non-response errors are minor and do not significantly affect the quality of the results. The data values for non-respondent units are imputed.

Processing errors are virtually impossible.

At the level of Estonia, the data are comparable for counties.

The data on the number of livestock, animals slaughtered and their meat from approved meat processing establishments are comparable with the data of other European Union countries because a common methodology is used.

The data are comparable over time.

PM09: Livestock and poultry by county (quarterly) – from 1980. There have been no breaks in the time series, which means that the number of observation periods in the last unbroken time series equals the number of all observation periods.

PM10: Production of animal products by county (quarterly) – from 2004. There have been no breaks in the time series, which means that the number of observation periods in the last unbroken time series equals the number of all observation periods.

PM100: Production of animal products by county – from 1980. There have been no breaks in the time series, which means that the number of observation periods in the last unbroken time series equals the number of all observation periods.

PM12: Productivity of livestock and poultry by county (quarterly) – from 2004. There have been no breaks in the time series, which means that the number of observation periods in the last unbroken time series equals the number of all observation periods.

PM120: Productivity of livestock and poultry by county – from 1980. There have been no breaks in the time series, which means that the number of observation periods in the last unbroken time series equals the number of all observation periods.

PM13: Annual change in the number of livestock – from 2015. There have been no breaks in the time series, which means that the number of observation periods in the last unbroken time series equals the number of all observation periods.

PM161: Livestock production per capita – from 1980. There have been no breaks in the time series, which means that the number of observation periods in the last unbroken time series equals the number of all observation periods.

PM190: Slaughtered animals and poultry in approved meat establishments and meat received (months) – from 2008. There have been no breaks in the time series, which means that the number of observation periods in the last unbroken time series equals the number of all observation periods.

PM1901: Slaughtered animals and poultry in approved meat establishments and meat received – from 2008. There have been no breaks in the time series, which means that the number of observation periods in the last unbroken time series equals the number of all observation periods.

PM192: Purchase of cattle, pigs, sheep and goats (monthly) – from 2004. There have been no breaks in the time series, which means that the number of observation periods in the last unbroken time series equals the number of all observation periods.

PM1921: Purchase of cattle, pigs, sheep and goats – from 2004. There have been no breaks in the time series, which means that the number of observation periods in the last unbroken time series equals the number of all observation periods.

PM1971: Certified organic livestock and production thereof – from 2013. There have been no breaks in the time series, which means that the number of observation periods in the last unbroken time series equals the number of all observation periods.

The data are closely linked to other agricultural statistics. Cross-domain coherence is ensured by using the same indicators from different sources. The data on livestock production and purchase prices of animals serve as input for economic accounts for agriculture and the data on livestock production are an input for the supply balance sheets of agricultural products. Input data are received from the Agricultural Registers and Information Board (ARIB), the Agriculture and Food Board, the Centre of Estonian Rural Research and Knowledge, Estonian Livestock Performance Recording Ltd., and foreign trade statistics.

For organic farming statistics, the data of the organic farming register of the Agriculture and Food Board serve as the main input.

Annual and shorter period data are coherent, as annual data are obtained by adding up shorter period data: the annual database tables PM100 and PM120 are the sum of the quarterly tables PM10 and PM12, and the annual database table PM1921 is the sum of the months in the monthly table PM192.

Not applicable because not directly usable in national accounts.

Internal coherence of data is ensured by the use of a common methodology for both data collection and data aggregation. Higher-level aggregate data are calculated based on detailed data according to predefined procedures. Meat production data are calculated.

In order to reduce costs, all units have been given the option of submitting their data electronically. Costs are not calculated separately for different statistical activities.
Administrative data are used as much as possible to reduce the burden, and the production of outputs is automated.
The total time of filling in reports of the statistical activity was 162 hours (data for 2024).
The total time of filling in reports of the statistical activity was 234 hours (data for 2023).

The data revision policy and notification of corrections are described on Statistics Estonia's website in the section Principles of dissemination of official statistics.

The published data may be revised if the methodology is modified, errors are discovered, new or better data become available. Quarterly and monthly data may be revised after the end of the year.

Administrative data are generally received by email. Data of the Estonian Livestock Performance Recording Ltd are taken from their website.

Survey-based source data are collected and the submission of questionnaires is monitored through a web-based data submission self-service environment. The questionnaires have been designed for independent completion in the self-service environment and include instructions and controls. The questionnaires and information about data submission are available on the website of Statistics Estonia in the section Questionnaires.
Data from the largest enterprises with poultry (at least 5,000 poultry) are collected quarterly with questionnaire 1460 "Livestock farming. Poultry". The sample size is up to 15 units.
Data on livestock purchases are collected monthly from all larger enterprises that purchase agricultural animals with questionnaire 1268 "Purchase of livestock". The sample size is 20–30 units, depending on the year, and coverage is at least 80%.

Arithmetic and qualitative checks are used in the validation process, including comparison with the data of previous periods or other surveys and with administrative data sources.

Statistics on livestock farming are produced using administrative data and, in the absence thereof, survey-based raw data. Data of enterprises and agricultural holdings that have not completed the questionnaire will be replaced by data of the previous period or mean data. In addition, foreign trade data and, where necessary, model-based calculations based on previous data are used. Random samples are not used and therefore weights are not calculated. Other required indicators are calculated on the basis of the data collected.

Data on small units are estimated and updated every ten years on the basis of social survey data. Variables which were not collected directly but which are necessary for producing the output are calculated. New variables are calculated by applying arithmetic conversion to already existing variables. This may be done repeatedly; the derived variable may, in turn, be based on previously derived new variables. Microdata are aggregated to the level necessary for analysis. This includes summation of data according to the classification and calculating various statistical measures, e.g. mean. The collected data are converted into statistical output. This includes calculating additional variables.

In annual livestock statistics, livestock movement balance sheets are compiled by type of animal (cattle, dairy cows, pigs, sheep, goats, poultry). Where necessary, adjustments are made to the balance sheets, primarily for births or losses.
The number of cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and bee colonies is based on livestock data from ARIB. To the number of sheep and goats, the estimated number of animals not registered in ARIB is added based on previous years.
The data from agricultural small units collected with small units survey are added to the number of bee colonies and poultry.
The share of slaughter animals in the number of livestock is calculated using coefficients based on previous years.
Based on meat production, live weight is also calculated using coefficients and it is used in economic accounts for agriculture.
The average price of meat is calculated based on the cost and quantity.
Beeswax production is estimated on the basis of honey production.
Livestock production per capita is calculated by dividing the production by the number of inhabitants.
