aUnused/waste fodder occurs when the amount of available fodder C is greater than livestock feed requirements per nation in a given year. In 2011, this occurred in: the Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, the Russian Federation, Slovakia, Sri Lanka, and the Ukraine, and could be due to waste, stockpiling, misreporting, or other errors. Actual fodder losses per nation were not estimated
