3.1. Data description

Statistics on eggs for hatching and farmyard poultry chicks are collected under (market) Regulation (EC) No 617/2008. They are the earliest available information to foresee production of poultry meat and eggs, as the numbers of chicks of various utilities placed in the farms of each Member State, i.e. the number of chicks placed by the hatcheries of this Member State increased by the net import of chicks.

In Croatia, data on hatcheries are collected through regular monthly (activities) and annual (structure) surveys. Data are collected by postal method using the survey forms in paper and/or electronic format.
Data on foreign trade of day old chicks are delivered to Eurostat through Intrastat and Extrastat.
