Livestock surveys
Surveys on the number of pigs
Number of the pig surveys
In Poland 3 surveys on the number of pigs are carried out per year. By these surveys data on pig production are collected too (number of born and died pigs, number of pigs purchased, sold and slaughtered, etc.).
Months in which pig surveys are carried out
April, August and December
Separate / integrated pig surveys
Separate pig surveys (only data on the number of pigs and some data on production are obtained).
An additional Survey on land use, areas sown and livestock number is carried out in June, of which a part is integrated livestock survey (data on the number of cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, horses and poultry by categories are obtained). The purpose of the surveys is to obtain data on the structure of the agricultural holdings. In 2000 this survey was conducted on 3 % of the private farms and in all state farms, co-operatives and enterprises which have at least 10 pigs/sheep or/and 5 cattle or/and 500 poultry.
Sample / full pig surveys
In state farms, co-operatives and enterprises breeding 10 pigs or more full surveys are carried out (about 1,500 observation units with 1.6 Mio pigs).
On private farms sample surveys are carried out.
The average sampling error in the recent years
1.0 % for the total of pigs.
Last full survey
The last full survey of pigs was carried out within the agricultural census in 1996.
Sampling method
Results of the agricultural census 1996 are the base for the sampling frame. There were 1,107,727 private farms in the sampling frame.
Stratification was based on the number of pigs and the agricultural area utilised.
In 2000 the strata were the following:
The sample was drawn separately in all sixteen voivodships.
Percentage of the total pig population recorded by the sample survey
95 % of the total pig population is included into the sampling frame. By the sample survey about 13.7% 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
In the sample there were 29,937 private farms, of them 28,945 private farms breeding pigs. Percentage of the total number of holding breeding pigs can not be given due to not updated list of pig breeders.
Surveys in selected regions
No.
Method used for estimating the pig population not recorded by the sample surveys
95 % of the pig population is included into the sample frame. The rest 5% of pig population is estimated by using the average number of pigs per 1 ha of agricultural area utilised and voivodship's structure on the number of pigs.
Average response rate
Average response rate is 99.5%.
Treatment of non response
Due to high response rate non-response is not taken into account.
Mode of data collection
The data are obtained with oral interviews on private farms and with written reports from state farms, co-operatives and enterprises.
Institution responsible for the survey
Central Statistical Office is responsible for carrying out the surveys.Use of administrative sources instead of pig surveys in the next 5 years

Surveys on the number of sheep and goats
Number of the sheep and goats surveys
2 surveys on the number of sheep are carried out per year.
Surveys on the number of goats are carried out every year or every 2 years within the Survey on land use, areas sown and livestock number which is carried out in June.

Slaughtering data
Availability of monthly data on slaughterings
Weight
Procedure used for recording slaughtering data
Slaughtering data from private farms (in Poland that means that livestock is slaughtered on the farm for self-consumption and for free market) are estimated on the basis of surveys on the number of animals.
Number and live weight of slaughtered pigs, calves, other cattle and sheep are estimated.
Yearly production of animals for slaughter in number and in live weight by voivodships is calculated on the basis of the surveys, reports from procurement units (from Agricultural and Environmental Statistics Division) and reports from enterprises employing more than 10 people (from Production Division).
Then production of each category of animals for slaughter is calculated from live weight into post-slaughter warm weight and into cooled weight.
Foreign trade data for live animals
Procedure used for recording foreign trade data
Since 1st January 1992 the Polish system of foreign trade statistics is based on:
The sources of data for the foreign trade statistics are copies 2 and 7 of the customs clearance document - Single Administrative Document SAD.
Subjects carrying out the turnover of commodity with foreign countries are obliged to present a written application to start the customs procedure on the Single Administrative Document. These subjects become also providers of information for the foreign trade statistics.
The organisation of data feeding of external trade statistical system looks as follows:
- customs offices send copies 2 and 7 of the Single Administrative Documents to regional statistical offices;
- in the statistical offices the formal control of SAD documents, computer registration of SAD and the automatic control of correctness according to the specified parameters is carried out;
- data received from SAD are registered and they are transmitted by WAN (Wide Area Network of the Central Statistical Office) in the decade cycle to the Foreign Trade Data Center (i.e. computer center of the Ministry of Economy), where the complete control of record correctness is carried on; all errors revealed in the process of an automatic control, both on the registration stage (i.e. in statistical offices) and after complete control (in the Foreign Trade Data Center) are delivered in the form of the printed read-out to the customs offices for correcting;
- the data, corrected by customs offices, are loaded to computers in the statistical offices and the automatic control is carried on once more;
- the Foreign Trade Data Center creates the data set of foreign trade turnover and sends them to the Central Statistical Office according to agreed-upon graphic schedule in a monthly period.
In 2000 (corresponding in previous years) SAD documents are contained in the following reporting periods on the ground of the date of customs clearance. The external trade electronic system is the open-set; i.e. every following reporting period refers to corrections of the former periods from the beginning of the year. Figures published during the year should be taken as provisional data for the current reporting period only, which are subject to correction. The CSO transmits the Polish monthly external trade data to the database COMEXT.
Production forecasts (gross domestic production)
The Central Statistical Office (CSO) doesn't calculate production forecasts for pigs, cattle, poultry and sheep and goats.
Poultry statistics
Information available in the field of poultry statistics
The number of poultry (total hens, ducks, geese, and turkeys) is estimated two times a year in June and December on the basis of surveys described in the chapter 9.1.2.
Once a year poultry meat production is calculated on the basis of June and December surveys and on the basis of reports from procurement units.
