Unchanged production of drinking milk in spite of less milk delivered

The quantity of milk delivered to dairies in June 2016 was 239 100 tonnes.
Figure A shows the quantity of milk delivered to dairies month by month from 2013 to June 2016. The production of drinking milk was 64 000 tonnes in June, unchanged compared to June 2015. Cream production in January to June 2016 was 57 100 tonnes. That is 1 400 tonnes more than the same period 2015.

In June 2016 almost 30 700 adult cattle and more than 1 300 calves were slaughtered. The total weight of the slaughtered cattle was roughly 10 200 tonnes, which is slightly less than the same month of the previous year. Back in May, the comparison showed the opposite, giving a temporary peak in slaughtering, in May. Figure B shows how the cattle slaughter statistics have developed since 2013.

The slaughter of pigs, at 202 400 heads or 18 500 tonnes, was slightly smaller than in the same month of 2015. Compared to 2014 though, it’s simultaneously a higher number of heads and a slightly lower total weight. Figure C shows how the slaughter of pigs has developed since the year 2013. The total slaughter of sheep, rams and lambs in June 2016 was 400 tonnes, somewhat more than in June of 2015 and 2016. Figure D shows how the total slaughter of sheep, rams and lambs has developed since the year 2013.

Egg delivery statistics for June were not yet available at the date of publication, nor where the poultry slaughter statistics. They will be made accessible in the Board of Agriculture Database as soon as they are ready.

Table 7 has been updated since Eurostat has made the 2014 fat- and protein content statistics for delivered milk available.
