The generally accepted estimate of the total number of Jewish dead in the Holocaust is about six million.
The number of Jews killed in extermination camps and other concentration camps by the Nazis is widely estimated at about 3.8-4.0 million, of whom the majority were gassed. In addition about 200,000 gypsies were killed. A further 1.1 million Jews were murdered in open air shootings and about 800,000 perished from "general deprivation" - for example, in ghettos.

Many non-Jews were also killed by the Nazis including those deemed "defective" (deaf, blind, mentally retarded, crippled, homosexuals) as well as gypsies (the Roma people), Jehovah's Witnesses' and the many local peoples who starved to death across Europe during the war and those who were killed by stray bullets, bombs, collapsing buildings, disease, lack of clean food/water, etc.
There were six major gassing centres:
- Auschwitz II (minimum estimate for number of victims gassed: 900,000)
- Treblinka II (minimum estimate: 850,000)
- Sobibor (mimum estimate: 250,000)
- Chelmno (about 152,000)
- Belzec (actual number recorded by the SS: 434,508)
- Majdanek - number disputed. (Much depends on the functions that the camp served).
Excluding Majdanek, that gives a minimum estimated total of over 2.586 million gassed.
Others were killed in mass open air shootings, worked to death, died of killer diseases that ravaged camps and ghettos and hundreds of thousands starved.

there was no daily quota.
any average will give you a totally false picture.
That would depend upon which gas chamber, they were not all the same size. The largest could hold 2000.

Is gassing of animals the animal Holocaust?
There are several definitions for holocaust . It probably is yes because holocaust can mean a huge or massive destruction or a huge and reckless killing. Holocaust is also when Hitler was around and he gassed the Jews. I'm not certain but I'm pretty sure that the gassing of animals might be holocaust.
