Municipality names are given as in the register (Lithuanian). 4 municipalities are not shown because at least one of the compared snapshots has fewer than 3 herds there - such figures could identify an individual keeper.
How to read this. Figures are point-in-time snapshots of the Farm Animal Register kept by the State Enterprise Agricultural Data Centre (ŽŪDC), published without adjustment. A herd is one register herd number - a keeping location, not a farm and not an owner; keepers are not named. Only recorded change is shown; no forecast is made from these data.
