Roczniki (Annals), 2017, vol. 2017, issue 4

Abstract: It is all the more difficult for the actors to hold their ground on the global market of caged egg production, that is why I believe it is important that the producers be able to judge their own competitivity, and bring their economic decisions based on this. However, the issue is raised whether the move towards alternative technologies indeed creates the opportunity of competitive management, so the aim of my research is the analysis of the economic relations of laying hen farms producing in different keeping technologies. There was no example in previous studies of a detailed economic comparison of the cage and deep-litter system from a national database in Hungary, so the cost-benefit analysis of these systems from Union accession to 2014 will lead to new scientific results.
