20 cattle and meat. The livestock population shows remarkable differences in the protectorate and in Sudeten- Germany, insofar as in the historical countries the number of cattle is considerably greater than that of pigs, while in Germany the number may well exceed that of cattle. Table 2l) are based on the surveys carried out in recent years, mostly on the results of the livestock censuses of the years I937 and 1938. It is assumed that the number of pigs is at present below the figures given in Table 2I, since a reduction has taken place during the course of the pig cycle. However, it is assumed that the potential gap will be replenished in the foreseeable future. See Table 21. The main factor for the supply of animal products to the population is the number of farmed animals per 100 inhabitants. Such a calculation shows that the per 100 inhabitants in the historical countries are kept slightly more cattle @ze in Germany, but considerably fewer pigs. The sufficient supply of beef, milk and dairy products to the population is therefore comparatively easier in the Protectorate than in Germany, whereas the supply of pigmeat, speok and lard is more difficult than in the Reich. As an effect of this structure of livestock farming, the Protectorates show an import surplus of pork, bacon and lance, while it is able to worry itself with beef, as well as with milk and milk products. See Table 22 The statistical documentation available for pig production is still uncertain. This is true for the pig population as well as for pig slaughters and slaughter weights. However, the consumption of feed can be estimated at approximately the incidence of pigmeat and fat, and from this the total turnover of seedlings can be determined again. See Table 23.
