Abstract

The economic efficiency of cage and deep-litter farms of different sizes with a cost and income analysis based was examined on the 2004-2014 Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) data provided by the Hungarian Research Institute of Agricultural Economics (AKI). It was found that the differences in efficiency experienced in previous years continued to increase years after the cage changes in both types of hen keeping appeared. It has been shown that deep-litter farmers typically keep smaller stocks and 36% of stocks are supplied in the framework of family work, whose wages are not recorded as personal expenses. It was also found that both unit cost and average sales price per egg decrease in the case of the cage and the deep-litter method with the increase in farm size. While the second biggest decline in average sales price occurs in the case of cage farmers with a stock of over 25,000, in the case of deep-litter farmers it already comes about at a stock of over 10,000.
