Footnotes

In 2007 there is a break in series. Basic source for data on number of cattle on 1st December is Register of bovine animals,
while the data on the type of breeding is collected with the sample survey.

In cattle, only two types of data are comparable from the surveys for the 1991-2002 period: total number of cattle and total number of cows. Because in this period we did not have detailed data for estimating the number of animals in individual categories, we decided to publish only data on the total number of cattle and the total number of cows. Since 1996 we have been publishing data on the number of cattle by age groups. Since 2000 we have been publishing all data.
