最近一次的普查数据表明，德国、丹麦的养猪业在进一步萎缩，这两个国家为欧盟最大猪肉生产国家。

丹麦母猪数减少至低于1百万头

根据丹麦中央统计局的数据表明，在持续几年的下降后，这是丹麦母猪数历史上第一次低于1百万头。最新的数据显示，2016年第3季度丹麦母猪数为998000头，较前3个月下降了3.2%。综观最近的几年至2015年最后一季，丹麦母猪数稳定保持在1.023-1.046百万头，自那以后母猪数便开始下降。

丹麦中央统计局数据显示所有年龄阶段猪的存栏量均在下降。总数由上一季度的12.42百万头下降至本季度的12.31百万头，下降比例超过0.8%。与2015年同季度相比，丹麦2016年6月生长猪的数量更少：

• 仔猪——2.460百万，下降5.9%

• 生长猪（体重低于50kg）——5.718百万，下降1.0%

• 育肥猪（体重超过50kg）——2.903百万，下降2.9%

德国生猪总数创5年来最低

德国联邦统计局公布2016年5月德国总猪数为27.1百万头。与2015年同期相比，下降了3.7%，约减少了超过1百万头。最新的数据显示，也减少了近600000头，下降比例约2.2%，是5年来最低水平。

与2015年5月同期数据相比，所有年龄阶段的猪存栏量均出现全面下降。

目前德国生猪养殖场数为24500，与去年相比，减少了1400个，萎缩比例为5.4%。其中，母猪场减少了8900个，萎缩比例高达9.4%。

配种母猪数在这一年经历了最大的下跌，下降头数为超过1.91百万头，比例为5.6%。总配种群的下降萎缩比作为5.5%。生长育肥猪的数量及变化如下：

• 仔猪——8.078百万，下降2.6%

• 生长猪（体重低于50kg）——5.319百万，下降5.1%

• 育肥猪（体重超过50kg）——11.726百万，下降3.6%

德国养猪协会、ISN总结出，生猪存栏量的显著下降主要归因于可怜的收益，养猪者看不到利润增加的希望。

Pig herds continue shrinking trend in Germany, Denmark

The latest census data reveal a continuing contraction in the pig industries

The latest census data reveal a continuing contraction in the pig industries of Germany and Denmark, which are among the European Union’s top pork-producing states.

Danish sow herd drops below 1 million

For the first time, the number of sows in Denmark has fallen  below one million, continuing a decline over the last several years, according to figures from Statistics Denmark. The latest count, for the third quarter of 2016, puts the Danish sow herd  at 998,000. That amounts to 3.2 percent fewer sows than 3 months previously. Over recent years, sow numbers have remained fairly steady at between 1.023 million and 1.046 million for several years until the final quarter of 2015, when a slow decline began.

The Statistics Denmark data show a fall in the population of pigs in all age categories. The total population fell by just over 0.8 percent from 12.42 million in the previous quarter to 12.31 million.

Compared with the same period in 2015, there were fewer growing pigs in Denmark in June this year:

·Piglets - 2.460 million; down 5.9 percent·Weaned pigs under 50kg (110 pounds) - 5.718 million; down1.0 percent·Finishing pigs over 50kg (110 pounds) - 2.903 million; down 2.9 percentSmallest pig population in Germany for five yearsGerman federal statistics agency, Destatis, put the German total pig population  in early May this year at 27.1 million. This is 3.7 percent, or slightly more than one million animals, below the previous year. The latest number is also down by almost 600,000 animals or 2.2 percent from November, which was the lowest recorded in Germany for 5 years .

Compared to May of 2015, there were declines in the number of premises with pigs, i.e. those with at least 50 fattening pigs and/or 10 breeding sows, and in all age categories.

The number of farms with pigs stood at 24,500, a reduction of 1,400 or 5.4 percent from the previous year. There were 9.4 percent or 8,900 fewer farms with sows.

Breeding sow numbers suffered the largest one-year decline in percentage terms, down 5.6 percent to just over 1.91 million. There was a 5.5 percent contraction in the overall breeding herd.

For the younger animals, the counts and changes were:

·Piglets - 8.078 million; down 2.6 percent·Growers - 5.319 million; down 5.1 percent·Finishers (11.726 million; down 3.6 percentThe falls were blamed on miserable returns for the sector, combined with poor prospects for the future of pig farming  in terms of improving profitability or farm succession, by Germany’s swine producers’ association, Interessengemeinschaft der Schweinehalter Deutschlands e.V. (ISN).
