East German slaughter but lower than last year

The number of pigs slaughtered in Germany according to the 4th DVO was 2004 million in the first half of 18,69, exceeding the previous year's level by 1,8 percent. However, fewer pigs were slaughtered in the second quarter of this year than in the first. In the new federal states, slaughterings from April to June were even lower than in the same period of the previous year, by a good one percent.

While the trend towards more extensive slaughtering continued throughout Germany in the first six weeks of the third quarter, fewer animals were hooked in the new federal states than in the same period in 2003.
