Japanese Livestock Numbers

16/03/11 -- Pondering the implications of a widespread radiation leakage in Japan, if one were to occur, I've done a bit of research into livestock numbers over there in comparison with those at home.

I'm not really that Jock/Taff-phobic, but the most recent fully updated across all sectors of the livestock industry I could find were in relation to Defra's June 2010 census which only gave detailed results for England.

If lamb is your bag then I wouldn't bother going there, that's all I can say. Anyway here's the numbers for comparison:




























 
Japan
England
Cattle
4.6m
5.5m
Pigs
9.6m
3.6m
Chickens
294m
125m
Sheep
11k
14.2m
