In 2024, authorities conducted 1,386 inspections of pig and cattle herds across the country. Sanctions were issued in 429 cases, meaning 70% of inspections did not result in any penalties. Specifically, 72% of pig farms and 67% of cattle farms passed their inspections without any sanctions.
Notably, 84% of the farms that received sanctions had corrected the identified violations by the first follow-up inspection.
The inspections are risk-based, meaning they target farms where authorities assess the highest likelihood of non-compliance. This targeted approach helps ensure that resources are focused where they are most needed, while also maintaining a high overall level of animal welfare across the Danish livestock sector.
