Results of Poultry Breeding
Methodology | Contents |
Outputs of the quarterly sample survey on poultry are included in the publication. List of respondents was generated from the updated Farm Register. Grossing-up process and data publication were carried out up to the level of structural data in Agrocensus 2000, i.e. estimates for units below thresholds (i.e. “hobby activities”) are not included. This approach is in compliance with the EU legislation defining the statistical reporting unit with specified thresholds.
Survey on poultry is carried out in the form of a sample survey with grossing-up. Sample set is stratified according to grossing-up group of the respondent unit, number of livestock kept, productive sub-sector and region, where is the reporting unit farming or placed and the percentage of units selected for the survey is based on the number of livestock kept. Legal as well as natural person units are covered in the sample set.
Background data for the sample survey come from book-keeping and stock records of the reporting units. Data on poultry hatching are taken from the authorised administrative institution (Mezinárodní testování drůbeže, s.p.).
Sale of eggs (for human consumption) and poultry for slaughter covers sales to marketing and processing organisations, direct sales to final consumers (incl. consumption and processing in the unit) and direct export.
Survey results are published not only as national totals but also by region (NUTS 3).
