The German pigmeat must cope with very fluctuating proceeds for their animals this year. In the middle of November pigs of the meat trading class E brought in federal funds just 1,19 euro per kilogram slaughter weight. In September, it had been at least 1,44 Euro.
In the notifiable German slaughterhouses with a slaughter capacity of at least 2.000 animals per month, almost one-fifth of the slaughtered ducks were split in the previous year, five years ago, in the year 1997, this share amounted to only about five percent. In addition come the. statistically unrecorded quantities in the cutting plants. Within the international supply segment deliveries are also increasing: the proportion increased from 16 percent in 1997 to almost 23 percent in 2002.
Looking to the Christmas holidays, meat market demand in the coming weeks will increasingly focus on the high-quality cuts of beef, veal, lamb and pork. But the sales of cheaper consumer goods should run steadily in the cold season.
In the meat wholesale markets, wholesalers and bursters were much more reluctant due to subdued demand for beef. Prices remained largely unchanged. Slaughter cattle were abundant, as slaughterhouse demand was limited due to inadequate sales and revenue opportunities for beef. The quotations for cattle of all categories therefore gave way. The Federal funds for young bulls of the meat trading class R3 and for cows of the class O3 sank by four cents each on 2,28 Eu-ro and 1,51 Euro per kilogram slaughter weight. When shipping cow guns to France, German suppliers also had to accept price reductions. And even with the sales of young bull meat to southern Europe, the revenue prospects are very limited. The export of beef to Russia was on the back burner and only at yielding prices. If beef demand does not receive impetus in the coming week, further price weaknesses for young bulls and slaughter cows are to be expected. In the meat wholesale markets, supply and demand for veal were mostly balanced. Overall, however, sales were low and prices remained unchanged. The slaughter offer was not too big, but was good enough for the demand. For flat-rate calves, as in the previous week, around 4,90 euros were paid per kilogram. The quotes for calves remained largely unchanged.
Already in July 1988 was banned in Great Britain animal meal for feeding of cattle. The so-called "Born after the ban" (BAB) cases were declared between July 1988 and August 1996 with the mistaken or illegal feeding of meat-and-bone meal or pork and poultry feed to cattle. An official explanation for the "BAB" cases is not available. The use of animal fats in milk exchangers as a possible source of infectious BSE prions is discussed in the art.
It must be cleared up without any problems, as it came to the contamination of the eggs with the residues of the drug Lasalocid-Na. The use of this anti-parasiticum is prohibited in laying hens. It must therefore be determined in what way the laying hens have come into contact with the antibiotic.
Real domestic demand, seasonally and calendar adjusted, fell by 1,6% in the third quarter compared to the previous quarter. This weak development is primarily due to the renewed decline in consumer spending (-0,6%), the slump in equipment (-3,6%) and a negative contribution to growth in inventories (-1,1%). In contrast, government consumption (+ 0,4%) and construction investments (+ 0,9%) supported domestic demand in a quarterly comparison. The growth impulse of the external contribution to the gross domestic product was 1,8%. That is the highest value since reunification.
As the recently published red list of endangered animal and plant species makes clear, biological diversity is increasingly threatened due to unsustainable use, among other things. This also applies to the diversity of species that are used or can be used in agriculture, forestry and human nutrition. According to Künast, a great potential for adapting agricultural and forestry production to future requirements and for a diverse diet, the production of biological active ingredients, renewable raw materials and renewable energy sources may be lost.
In order to minimize the risk, extensive protection measures have been taken in all areas of rearing, slaughter and processing of ruminants. These protection and surveillance measures complement and overlap their objectives and, in the current state of knowledge, ensure the greatest possible health protection for consumers.
Simultaneously with the figures for October 2003, the Federal Statistical Office presents the results of the recalculation of the producer price index on the index basis 2000 = 100. Based on the structures of domestic domestic sales in the new base year 2000, all indices were recalculated from January 2000. This results in the following changes in the annual tax rates for the year 2003 compared to the previous index basis 1995 = 100:
All selected markets are located in North Rhine-Westphalia. The six main categories of order / care / overview, product presentation, price labeling, freshness / correct expiry date, product availability and employee behavior were tested. The maximum percentage to reach in each category was 100. The individual results of the main categories are used to calculate the respective overall result for a discount chain.
