slaughter statistics in May 2017 During the
summer, “Animal products” is published at irregular intervals. The publishing
date of this Statistical Message, SM1707, is relatively early hence not all of
the usual data is yet available. Data on dairy production and egg deliveries in
May are still unavailable, As soon as it becomes available it will be published
in the Swedish the Board of
Agriculture Database. In total, 34 300
cattle, of which 1 200 were calves, were slaughtered in May 2017. Their
total slaughter weight was roughly 11 300 tonnes, which is 2 % more
than in May 2016, and 10 % more than in May 2015. This years’ trend of
unusually large monthly variations in slaughter numbers appears sustained and
is made evident in figure A, which shows the developments in cattle slaughter
since January 2014. While overall cattle slaughter was greater than in May of
previous years, the slaughter was smaller in the categories calves, heifers and
young cattle. There was a
marked increase in the slaughter of pigs in May 2017, both compared to the
previous month and to the same month of earlier years. 225 200 pigs were
slaughtered, with a total slaughter weight just short of 21 200 tonnes. When
compared to May 2016, the slaughter of sows, boars and young pigs decreased
somewhat. But the slaughter of boars and fattening pigs increased. The
developments in pig slaughter are illustrated in Figure C. The slaughter
of sheep, ram, and lamb was also greater in May 2017 than in May the two
preceding years. 17 600 animals were slaughtered in May 2017, 21 and 30 %
more than in May of 2016 and 2015 respectively. Figure D shows how the total slaughter of
sheep, rams and lambs has developed since 2014. During these years, it has not
been greater in May than this year. The amount of slaughtered poultry was almost 14 000
tonnes in May 2017, nearly 3 % more than in the same month of 2016. The
slaughter of hens was 46 % greater and the turkey slaughter 7 %. More than
95 % of the slaughtered amount of poultry however, consists of chicken,
which was up 2 % compared to May 2016. All in all, the slaughter of
poultry also experienced a rebound after the sharp fall in April. Figure E
shows how the total slaughter of poultry has developed since the year 2014. The next Statistical Message in the Animal products
series, SM1708, won’t be published until the 5th of September. The
Swedish Board of Agriculture Database, however, may be updated with dairy
production and egg delivery data for the month of May before then. List of tables
