The Pays de la Loire regional agriculture authority announced on 21 October that its November 2026 livestock survey will run from 2 to 30 November. Conducted by the agriculture ministry’s statistics service, it will collect pig, goat and sheep numbers as of 1 November, by animal category, farming method and milk or meat production type.
The regional sample comprises 380 farmers: 144 with pig holdings, 171 with goat holdings, 64 with sheep holdings and one with both goats and sheep. The data are intended to help track developments in the three sectors and contribute to annual agricultural statistics. This announcement describes the survey’s scope, not a finding about herd numbers; interviews will be conducted by phone and results will follow later.

Measurement and privacy details
Google Analytics measurement starts only if you allow it. After consent, automatic measurement may cover scrolls, outbound link clicks, downloads, video engagement, site searches and basic form interactions; search terms may be detected from URL parameters. This site’s own code does not send form field values; email redaction in automatic measurement is best-effort, not guaranteed. Our manual page-view event uses a cleaned URL. You can change your choice later. Visits that begin with consent may also send numeric LCP, INP and CLS performance measurements after Analytics loads. A first or later grant starts this on the next page load; withdrawing consent stops these performance reports for this page. The preference cookie lasts six months; advertising measurement and personalization stay off.
