Table 2.
Estimated prevalence (median) of mature female animals that are pregnant at the time of slaughter in Europe, including the uncertainties expressed as probability distribution. The latter is described by the percentiles (P) which define the 50% uncertainty range (P25–P75), as well as the 98% uncertainty range (P1–P99)
All pregnancies | P1 | P25 | Median | P75 | P99 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Dairy cows | 2% | 9% | 16% | 27% | 60% |
Beef cattle | 1% | 7% | 11% | 18% | 40% |
Pigs | 0% | 3% | 6% | 9% | 20% |
Sheep | 0% | 5% | 10% | 14% | 40% |
