These data were compiled while the author was Meat and Livestock
Commission Fellow in the Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Manchester. This support, and financial assistance for clerical work, are greatfully acknawledged. The data have been chiefly obtained from the three UK government departments directly concerned with agriculture, and from the Pigs' Marketing Board for Northern Ireland. Numerous officials of these four organizations kindly helped with the collection of data and explained sources and methods of compilation, their co-operation is gratefully acknowledged. The methods used to prepare the various series and any errors which the data contain, are entirely the responsibility of the author. CONTENTS

• 1. Introduction
During the period October 1969 to September 1971 the Meat and Livestock
Commission sponsored the construction of an econometric model of the United
Kingdom pig industry at the University of Manchester. The aim of the project
was a better understanding of some of the problems of the pig industry, and
in particular, the causes of variations in domestic production and market
prices. Such a model could also be utilised in the analysis of policy
alternatives or in forecasting supplies. To this end, a complex structural 14W
model of the industry was constructed on the. basis of historical data for
the period 1956-69.
The model was, in effect, a mathematical analogy of the inter-
relationships between the key economic variables of the pig industry. Of
the various inputs in the model building process - economic theory, technical
and institutional information, mathematical statistics, computational methods,
and so on - one of the most important (and frequently underemphasised or
ignored) is the data. However sophisticated and advanced the other inputs,
a model can be no better than the data upon which it is based. British
agricultural statistics are more comprehensive, and frequently more accurate
(due to extensive government involvment in the industry) than those of any
other country. These data are often orientated towards policy uses, and as
a result may not be available in a published form which.is suitable for model
building. For example, many price series are published in annual (or monthly)
form which entails further processing before a quarterly analysis can be
contemplated. Or, the coverage of published statistics varies between England
and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, reflecting the existence of three
separate government departments. - 2 -
Thus one of the major tasks of building a model of the pig industry was the collection of statistical material and its collation on a standard basis. Various considerations suggested that a quarterly model was desirable, and the period 1956-69 was selected as appropriate for the estimation of the model. The publication of these data will, it is hoped, enable further work to be carried out on the United Kingdom pig industry.
While such work may require more than the variables printed in this
Bulletin, it does contain many of the important economic series relating to the United Kingdom pig industry.
As far as possible the series commence in the first quarter of 1956 and continue to the last quarter of 1969, or later. Where observations of particular series were unavailable, the appropriate parts of tables have been left blank. But where a variable was at zero level, or insignificant, a zero has been inserted. Each series is denoted by a symbol or symbols corresponding to those used in specifying and estimating the actual model, and the method of notation will be outlined in the next section. The nature of the data and a brief indication of their sources will then be given before proceeding to present the data in tabular form with short explanatory notes.
2. Notation
Quarters, given in parentheses following the year in question, are
taken as thirteen week periods, and to avoid the repetition of "inclusive",
all time periods are inclusive. Thus 1956(1) to 1969(4) denotes the
period commencing with the first quarter of 1956 and ending in the final
quarter of 1969. In describing the various series, the first letters of - 3 - words indicating the variable have been used. All prices begin with P, numbers with N, and quantities with Q. Spatial origin or level in the industry will be indicated by a lower case superscript usually preceding upper case symbols but occasionally following them to avoid confusion.
Products of the pig industry, and related -goods, will be denoted by lower case superscripts following upper case symbols.
3. The Data
The data can be grouped intp four broad categories (1) census data
(ii) price data (iii) slaughter and production data and (iv) other data.
(i) Census Data (Tables 1 - 7)
Quarterly censuses are enumerated at the beginning of March, June,
September, and December, and are published by the Ministry of Agriculture
Fisheries and Food (MAFF), the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries for Scotland (DAYS), and the Ministry of Agriculture for Northern Ireland
(MANI). England and Wales was sub-divided into three regions, arable, mixed and livestock. The arable counties were: Bedford, Cambridge and
Isle of Ely, Essex, Hertford, Huntingdon and Peterborough, Kent, Lincolnshire,
Middlesex (or Greater London), Norfolk, Nottingham, Suffolk and the East
Riding of Yorkshire. The mixed farming counties were: Berkshire,
Buckingham, Durham, Gloucester, Hampshire and Isle of Wight, Hereford,
Leicester, Northampton, Oxford, Rutland, Surrey, Sussex, Warwick, Wiltshire,
Worcester, and the West and North Ridings of Yorkshire. The remaining
counties of England and the counties of Wales made up the pastoral region.
The census is enumerated by a postal questionnaire, although the
coverage varies between countries. In EW a full postal census of all holdings over one acre is carried out in June. A revolving sample of one
third of parishes is enumerated in September, December and March, but this is
being replaced by a random sample stratified by farm size. The Scottish
census covers all farms in December and June, while the March and September
censuses are based on.a sample stratified by herd size in the preceding
December census. In NI a full postal census of all holdings is carried out
in June and December, while those returning pigs are enumerated again in
September and March.*
In all three countries the results of a full census are published in
provisional form within about two months of the census data while final
figures are published up to six months later. Sample census results become
available after approximately the same time lapse as the provisional results
of a full census.
(ii) Prices (Table 8 - 15)
Prices are collected by the three agricultural departments, but include some supplementary series such as those produced by the Pigs Marketing Board for Northern Ireland. Clean fat pig prices at producer and first hand marketing level are obtained chiefly from Fatstock Guarantee Scheme statistics.
Wholesale prices have been estimated from various published series of whole- sale prices, while retail prices have been taken from annual reports of the
National Food Survey 'Domestic Food Consumption and Expenditure". Wage rates in the marketing sector are based on those published in the Department of
Employment and Productivity annual series "Time Rates Of Wages And Hours Of Work".
* Because rounding can introduce a considerable error in some of the ensuing Tables unrounded census results have been presented where available. This should not be taken as implying accuracy of the census data to the final figures. - 5 -
(iii) Slaughter And Production Data (Tables 16 - 22)
These data are chiefly obtained from slaughter house returns collected by MAFF. Some highly condensed series from these statistics are published in the "Monthly Digest Of Statistics", but the more detailed breakdown of
Tables 16 - 22 was obtained from MAFF. The dressed carcase weights for
clean pigs shown in Table 19 are derived from.Fatstock Guarantee Scheme
Statistics.
(iv) Other Data (Table 23)
These are derived from the "Monthly Digest of Statistics'. - 6 -
