In the Czech Republic 4 surveys on the number of pigs are carried out per year. By these surveys data on sales of pigs for slaughter and another data on pig production are obtained as well.
On 1 March a census on the number of livestock is carried out every year. Within the census data on the number of pigs, cattle, horses, poultry, sheep and goats are obtained.
Months in which pig surveys are carried out
The sample surveys are carried out in March, June, September and December (reference date is the last day of the month). In addition to these sample surveys census on livestock number is carried out in March (reference date 1 March).
Separate / integrated pig surveys
All the sample surveys are separate pig surveys (only data on pigs are collected).
Sample / full pig surveys
The surveys with reference date at the end of March, June, September and December are sample surveys.
On 1 March a census on the number of livestock is carried out as well.
The average sampling error in the recent years
The average sampling error in recent years is between 0.8% and 1.5% for the total of pigs.
Last full survey
Last full survey of pigs was carried out within the agricultural census in October 2000.
Sampling method
The frame for sample selection is the farm register. This includes data on farms from the agricultural census carried out in October 1995. Data on farms are regularly updated from agricultural statistical surveys, administrative data sources and fieldwork.
Stratification is based on three criteria: size of herd, region of farming, type of production area. Selection is carried out according to the size of herd (number of cattle in strata).
Percentage of the total pig population recorded by the sample survey
By the sample surveys 82.6% of the total pig population is recorded.
Number of holdings recorded by the sample and percentage of the total number of the holdings breeding pigs
By the sample surveys 1727 agricultural holdings are recorded, which is 12.6% of the total agricultural holdings breeding pigs.
Surveys in selected regions
The sample surveys on pigs are carried out in all regions of the country.
Method used for estimating the pig population not recorded by the sample surveys
Results of the sample survey refer to all pig population in the Czech Republic.
Average response rate
94.2%.
Treatment of non response
In case of non-response missing data are estimated for each farm (each item) using average values in the relevant estimated group.
Mode of data collection
The sample surveys are carried out as written and telephone inquiries.
Institution responsible for the survey
The Czech Statistical Office
Use of administrative sources instead of pig surveys in the next 5 years

Slaughtering data
Availability of monthly data on slaughterings
Weight
1Slaughtering data are monthly available only for plants dealing with slaughtering.
Procedure used for recording slaughtering data
Data on livestock slaughtered are collected monthly from all plants dealing with slaughtering (not only slaughterhouses). Completed questionnaires are sent to the Czech Statistical Office. Data processing is centralised. Results are published in 35 days. Domestic slaughter is not recorded monthly but estimated annually.
Foreign trade data for live animals
Procedure used for recording foreign trade data
The source of data on foreign trade is customs statistics based on customs documents. Data are processed by the Directorate General of Customs and taken over by the Czech Statistical Office. There is no reporting threshold - all customs documents are processed. Foreign trade data should be regarded as preliminary ones. Data published are continually updated during each subsequent processing by those Single Administrative Documents that were not included into the previous processing for one reason or another. Results are published on 25th working day after customs documents processing. As far as the methodology is concerned foreign trade statistics is fully comparable with that the EU Member Countries.
