Whilst the proportion of laying hens kept in alternative systems has increased over theperiod shown, the trend has been somewhat erratic with a low of 10% in 1997 and a high of 21% in2001.Table A1.120: Evolution of laying hen numbers by systemCaged Free Range Semi-intensive Deep litter Perchery Total layinghens1995 5,420,000 550,000 130,000 6,100,0001996 4,774,000 800,000 135,000 5,709,0001997 5,599,082 324,012 301,306 6,224,4001998 5,106,883 356,987 476,243 5,940,1131999 4,649,306 500,169 430,350 5,579,8252000 4,649,808 2,720 472,865 415,086 5,540,4792001 4,195,800 15,552 30,093 396,759 698,796 5,337,0002002 41,170 1,643,121Sources: DG Agri, Agricultural Situation in the Community and <strong>Agra</strong> <strong>CEAS</strong> <strong>Consulting</strong>.Data showing the proportion of eggs from different systems purchased by Swedish packers ispresented in Figure A1. 77.

This growth mainlyresulted from increases in the share of barn eggs.300
