LIVESTOCK IN OCCUPIED EUROPE IN WARTIME. When the Western European countries were occupied by Germany the view was widely held that as a result in the main of the cutting off of seaborne imports of fodder, there would have to be a heavy slaughter of all classes of livestock. In practice, however, this has not occurred on the scale anticipated; nevertheless, pig and poultry stocks have been reduced to roughly one half of their former level, largely by deliberately reduced breeding of new stock. Cattle herds have been reduced as little as possible and it is not unlikely that better use could have been made of the available winter fodder if more cows had been killed.
