• These figures do not include the fats ordinarily considered as part of the dressed carcass. 
As far as home-grown feedstufTs arc concerned, the livestock 
industry of the territories now composing the Republic was but 
little better situated during 1909-1913 than it was in the Empire as 
a whole, haysupplies in the former averaging 3,016 pounds per head 
against 2,983 pounds in the latter. The authorities of the Reichser- 
naehrungsamt estimate that about the same percentage of locally 
produced livestock was slaughtered in 1912 within the boundaries 
of the Republic as in the whole Empire. For this reason the per- 
centages found in column 3 of 'fable 57 of animal products obtained 
from livestock in the former German Empire are employed in Table 58 
pertaining to the animal products obtained from livestock in the 
Republic.
