Production costsVariable costs of production are presented in Table A1.122 and fixed costs in Table A1. 123 for theenriched cage unit. Data for the other systems in operation in Sweden were not made available tothe researchers.Table A1.122: Variable (running) costs of production 2003 (per kg eggs) (prices in €cents at SEK = €0.108956)Enriched cagesFeed cost 55.39Medication/vet 0.11Miscellaneous 0.00Bird depreciation/live pullets 17.21Total variable costs 72.71Source: Industry estimates.302
