Annual data on eggs for consumption are collected with the December survey on the livestock number directly from agricultural holdings.

Within the 2014 grant the possibility of using available administrative data sources to collect required information on production of eggs for consumption was assessed.

In Slovenia the reference day for collecting data on number of hens is 1st December. We estimate the data do not differ essentially so data on 1st December in case of Slovenia are used for reference day 31st December.

Administrative sources are currently not used. We use data on December's Livestock survey.

The data on eggs for consumption are collected and published only for whole country, Slovenia (NUTS 1).

Data refers on hens population and hens eggs.

Data are at the NUTS 1 level (Country) and relates to poultry and egg producers classified under NACE codes 01.47.1 (01.47.11) and 01.47.2 (01.47.21).

An agricultural holding with laying hens.

All agricultural holdings with laying hens and producing eggs for consumption on the Member State territory.

No threshold applies

For the data collection purposes the extensive versus intensive production was distinguished using a threshold of 350 laying hens.

With December survey we cover whole country, all agriculture holdings, all intensive producer of poultry are included.

The whole territory of the country.

Data on production of eggs are collected among the data on the number of livestock, slaughter data and milk data only from farmers directly from 2002 on.

2014

2018

We colect the data on laying hens and hens eggs from 1992 on. But only in 2014 we started with data on hens eggs for consumption.

No other unit used.

No

The reference data on the number of livestock is 1 December, while annual production refers to the period from 30 November of year Y-1 to 1 December of year Y.

The legal bases for conducting December survey (data on hens eggs within):

• National Statistics Act (OJ RS No. 45/95 and No. 9/01);
• EU Regulation 1165/2008 on livestock and meat statistics
• National Programme of Statistical Surveys (OJ RS No 66/117), which deals with all statistical surveys and work to be done in 2018 (for each year new National Programme of Statisticul Surveys is accept in National Parliament)

At the end of August 2019 we published data on eggs for consumption for time series 2013 -2018 (https://www.stat.si/StatWeb/en/News/Index/8305).

 Data on 2013 were revised.

REVISION OF THE DATA

PUBLISHING OF PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DATA

Data revision is planned. Due to the needs of users for timely information, data are published that meet the criteria of the quality of official statistical data but do not meet the quality that can be met with complete coverage. Data are revised when recent, completed and more quality data respectively can significantly contribute to the quality of data-based decision-making and when due to publication deadlines determined by the European legislation less accurate data are published on the basis of incomplete coverage.

Provisional data on livestock production for the previous year are published in May of the current year and final data by the end of August of the current year.

We published First Release on 15th May (https://www.stat.si/StatWeb/en/News/Index/8115),

at the end of August we published data (https://www.stat.si/StatWeb/en/News/Index/8305) in our SISTAT Database (https://pxweb.stat.si/SiStatDb/pxweb/en/30_Okolje/30_Okolje__15_kmetijstvo_ribistvo__05_zivinoreja__02_15173_prireja_mesa/?tablelist=true), data refers to previous year.

Annual sample survey on the number of livestock.

The sample is stratified (four strata).

The criteria for selection in an individual stratum are based on the size classes of the number of animals.

In selecting the sample for poultry, it is taken into account whether producers are intensive poultry producers or not.

Intensive poultry producers are selected with certainty.

All other units selected in the sample are asked about the number of poultry and production of hen’s eggs.

Information about the number of laying hens and annual production of hen’s eggs and the purpose of hen’s eggs hatched on the agricultural holding.

For small reporting units only the number of laying hens is collected while the production of eggs is estimated with the help of average egg yield of the size class of laying hens.

Poultry number in Slovenia is rather low, therefore also there is low number of laying hens and productions of eggs and Slovenia is under treshold of 3 milions of laying hens.

In Slovenia the reference day for collecting data on number of hens is 1st December. We estimate the data do not differ essentially so data on 1st December in case of Slovenia are used for reference day 31st December.
