 +<P>Attention: CAPRI uses a flow concept to define the activity levels for animal production processes. For fattening activities, the activity level
 +
 +is defined as the number of slaughtered animals. For raising activities, the activity level is equal to the number
 +
 +of raised animals. These activity levels are not equal to average annual herd sizes, but can be converted by taking into account the number
 +
 +of production cycles per year.</P>
 +
 +
 +
 +<P>The fattening and raising processes are defined per slaughtered or raised animal, and not per number of animals present at a certain point in time. For the maps,
 +
 +the data for the animal activities are firstly converted to livestock units, and then aggregated to ruminants (cattle, sheep and goat), non-ruminants (pigs, poultry) and total animals, measured in livestock units.</P>
 +
 +
 +
 +<P>The estimation process is based on regressions of data from the Farm Structure Survey 1999 plus climate, soil, slope and altitude data. Those regressions models are used
 +
 +to define a forecast and its error per HSMU which serves as the a priori density entering a Highest Posterior Density estimator. The latter choses the stocking density
 +
 +per cluster of 1x1 km pixel cells which comes closed to the a priori forecast under the condition that the regional numbers reported in FSS are recovered.</P>
