The EU livestock census continues to decline in 2024
In total, the EU currently has:
In the case of cattle, France leads with 16.1 million heads, followed by Germany (10.4 million) and Poland (6.1 million). Spain is in fifth place with 6.1 million animals, having lost 120,000 heads compared to 2023.
In goats, Greece takes the lead with 2.5 million, followed by Spain with 2.3 million animals, being the only country to register an increase (+67,000 heads).
In the sheep sector, Spain leads with 13.4 million sheep (despite a reduction of 80,000), followed by Romania and Greece.
Finally, pigs remain the most numerous species, with Spain leading the ranking with 34.5 million animals, an increase of 700,000 heads compared to the previous year.
These figures reflect a transformation in the European livestock farming model, driven by factors such as changes in consumption, sustainability, and environmental regulations.
