Calculation formula
This indicator is cumulative over the period.
For management commitments and eco-schemes for animal welfare, paid LU are reported every year.
For investments, e.g. in buildings improving animal welfare, the number of LU is estimated based on the production capacity, using the standard conversion rates of animals to LU (Annex IV of the cover note)
The coefficients to convert animal numbers in Livestock Units are published by EUROSTAT, see here.
