Livestock populations

Statistics about livestock populations in England and the UK.

This page replaces the previous Structure of the agricultural industry for publications after June 2022.

This series includes information on livestock populations for the farming industry in England and the United Kingdom. Statistics include numbers of cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry and other livestock.

These publications summarise information from the June Survey of Agriculture and Horticulture and other farm surveys run by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government and the Department for Agriculture and Rural Development for Northern Ireland.

For further information about the June Survey of Agriculture and Horticulture please visit our survey notes and guidance page. Here you will find various guides including our survey methodology and our privacy notice which explains how we manage your personal data.
