After a short review of the size structure and the regional distribution of livestock holdings with cattle, pigs and poultry, the significance and distribution of those livestock holdings are presented, which according to their size and their density are excluded from certain national income compensations to German farmers because they are classified as not belonging to the farm sector proper by agricultural policy authorities. Compared to neighbouring member countries of the EC, the significance of these livestock holdings seems rather small. The introduction of the milk quota regime and the exclusion of larger livestock holdings from certain income compensations have retarded the process of structural change in livestock keeping since the middle of the 1980s. Among factors influencing the future development of the structure of livestock holdings, scientific and technical innovations in livestock breeding and husbandry as well as developments in the distribution of food will prevailingly intensify the tendencies of continuing concentration processes in livestock holdings whereas environmental legislation and agricultural price and market policies will probably counteract these tendencies.
在简要回顾了拥有牛、猪和家禽的畜牧场的规模结构和区域分布之后，介绍了这些畜牧场的重要性和分布情况。由于农业政策当局将其归类为不属于正规农场部门，根据其规模和密度，这些畜牧场被排除在德国农民的某些国家收入补偿之外。与欧共体的邻国相比，这些畜牧场的重要性似乎相当小。自20世纪80年代中期以来，牛奶配额制度的引入以及将较大的畜牧场排除在某些收入补偿之外，阻碍了畜牧养殖结构调整的进程。在影响畜牧场结构未来发展的因素中，畜牧养殖和饲养方面的科学技术创新以及食品分销方面的发展，将主要强化畜牧场持续集中化的趋势，而环境立法以及农业价格和市场政策可能会抵消这些趋势。
