Introduction

The quinquennial Census of Agriculture provides Statistics Canada with the opportunity to gather information on livestock species that are not part of the Agriculture Division’s regular estimation program.  This publication summarizes information on twelve of these species for the census occasions that data are available.  It includes the number of animals or birds, the number of holdings they are located on, the average number per holding and the percentage change between reporting periods.
