APPENDIX 1: MEMBER STATE REPORTSTable A1.112: Performance indicators for egg production in Spain (2003) (prices in €)Traditional cagesLaying cycle (days) 392Empty period (days) 28Feed/bird/year (Kg) 39.11Feed/bird/day (g) 115Eggs/bird/year (collected) 282Kg feed per kg eggs 2.22Mortality (%) 1 7.5Number of hens managed/labourer 30,000Hens housed per m 2 house 111Space allowance per hen per cm 2 450Pullet cost 3 2.70End of lay hen weight Kg 2.00End of lay hen price 0.18Notes: some data have been converted from laying cycle to year to correct for thediffering lengths of laying cycle by system.1. Mortality can vary significantly from year to year.2. The space allowance is on the basis of non-attributable information obtained from industry operators in Spain andother Member States suggesting that in 2003 many Spanish producers were applying a space allowance of 450cm 2 incontravention of Directive 1999/74/EC.3. This is the cost of buying in a pullet, not the cost of rearing. It therefore includes a profit element for the rearer.Source: Industry sources and <strong>Agra</strong> <strong>CEAS</strong> estimates.A1.13.2.5. Production costsVariable production costs in Spain are presented in Table A1.113 and Table A1.114 presents fixedcosts.Table A1.113: Variable (running) costs of production (€ cents per kg eggs) (2003)Traditional cagesFeed cost 39.99Medication/vet 1.33Miscellaneous 4.00Bird depreciation/live pullets 13.29Total variable costs 58.61Note: Feed costs are generally in the region of €30.00 per 12 eggs, but wereexceptionally high in 2003 (around €37) as a result of drought. In September 2003COPA/COGECA (Committee of Professional Agricultural Organisations in theEuropean Union) estimated that poultry flock productivity in Spain had fallen by asmuch as 25-30% (‘Assessment of the impact of the heatwave and drought of thesummer 2003 on agriculture and forestry’). The typical figure is used here to allowcomparison with other Member States.Source: <strong>Agra</strong> <strong>CEAS</strong> estimates.287
