 The German inventory uses a time step of one year as there is no data available to allow for a more differentiated description. This is especially of concern for the animal numbers. Hence it is necessary to assume the animal numbers counted at a certain reference date to be constant throughout the year. This assumption is consistent with the IPCC definition of mean animal places that are used 365 days a year ('AAP', see Chapter [1.1](/1-General-aspects/1.1-symbols,-units,-definitions)). The animal numbers used in the inventory are dealt with in detail in subsequent chapters (Chapter [2.3.1](/2-Input-data/2.3-Animal-Numbers/2.3.1-Cattle) onwards). In the following, a description of the origin of these data is provided and a description of the data finally used in the inventory is given. Finally, a comparison is made between FAOSTAT animal numbers and German figures.
