\n\t\t\tWITH COMPETENCE\t<\/h1>\n

\n\t\t\tDefinitions\t<\/h3>\n\t

A crack<\/strong> defines a dead animal where a livestock depredation expert has determined that the primary cause of death was an attack by a large predator (the basis for this determination is within his competence as an official expert) and the owner has subsequently been compensated by the federal state for the dead animal.<\/p>\n

The definition of a injured animal<\/strong> The result is that the damage assessor found the animal alive and examined\/sampled it; it is compensated as an injured animal or at least registered as such by the federal state.<\/p>\n

Stray\/Missing<\/strong> These are animals that, after a spatial and temporal connection has been established by a livestock damage assessor or the responsible authority, have been compensated by the federal state or at least registered as such.<\/p>\n

Figures on livestock kills in 2026<\/h3>\n

The crack figures listed here are not up-to-date. Final figures can only be provided at the beginning of the following year after all compensation claims have been received by the federal states. Whether and how much compensation is paid is regulated in each individual federal state.<\/p>\n

Based on information from experts in the individual federal states, the \u00d6Z compiles the crack figures for all of Austria.<\/p>\n

No cracking incidents have been reported in 2026.<\/p>\nStatus: February 2026<\/em><\/strong>
