04 - 35 - Feedingstuffs The seizure of important cereal feedstuffs and potatoes has already been discussed above (see Tables 10 to 15). Perners are grown in the Protectorate 73 000 ha, in the Sudeten area 32 000 ha with grain maize, grain maize quantity, pods and pods (see Tebelle 14). Experience has shown that this cultivation is likely to result in a forage rate of 16 dz per hectare, which is equivalent to 120 000 t0 in the protectorate and 50 000 tonnes in the Sudeten region. It is not possible to deduce conclusions on the current import requirements of the new areas of May; rather, the import requirements for maize from the protectorate and the Sudeten region must be derived from the current pig feed balance of these areas; the feed balance for Sweden is presented below in detail. Thereafter, the protectorate has an import tariff of 125 000 tonnes of maize, the Sudeten area has an entry tariff of 95 000 tonnes. Furthermore, as mentioned above, there are still oil cakes available. The import of oilseeds into former Czechoslovakia was on average 170 000 tonnes, the incidence of oilcakes of which was about 90 000 tons. Of these oil cakes, about 20 c00 tons have been exported (see Table 36). The rest has been fed almost completely in the countries of Bohemia and Moravia-Silesia. Here the consumption per cow is equal in the protectorate and in the Sudeten area. Based on the number of cows, this results in an oil cake consumption or. - Finally, according to the quantities of bread grain needed for human nutrition in protectorate, a bran attack of approximately 345 000 tonnes is to be expected, in the south area of 160 000 tonnes. Feed balances The following picture for total consumption of feed is obtained from the quantities of feed shown in the individual balance sheets (see Table 32). Of the total quantity of feed, around 55 % is accounted for by pigs in the protectorate and in the Sudeten area. The distribution of feed materials not fed to pigs among the other species is also shown in Table 32 in schematics. In the case of feed materials not included in the balance sheets (beet pulp, beet leaf, fodder beet, hay, straw, brewery waste, pasture and green fodder pp) in the feed calculation, it can be seen that for horses, cattle, sheep, goats and chickens there are approximately 10 % less feed values available than in the old kingdom to these animal species. This difference mainly explains the lower performance of cattle farming in the protectorate and the Sudeten area.
