Description
The table contains figures on pig and poultry rights (animal rights). Animal rights are production rights aimed at limiting the production of livestock manure. A farmer may not keep more pigs, chickens and turkeys than the production right incumbent on the holding.
Pig and poultry rights shall be expressed in units. The number of units varies by animal category. The rearing of pigs shall not require a production right if the number of animals present does not exceed 3 pig units. The rearing of chickens and turkeys shall not require a production right if the number of animals present does not exceed 250 poultry units. The table also shows the numbers of animals and the phosphate production of those animal categories to which animal rights apply. A direct comparison of animal rights and numbers of animals is not possible. This is because the production right, expressed in units, differs between the different categories of pigs and poultry. In addition, the different categories of pigs and poultry are defined differently in the Fertilisers Act and in the agricultural census. Animal rights have been phased in to replace manure production rights.
The production tax exemption scheme is not included in the figures. This table only concerns absolute animal rights of the farmer himself, no account is taken of the leasing of animal rights to other farmers.
Data available from: 1998
Status of figures:
All figures are final. Figures on animal rights come from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO). The RVO file is a so-called dynamic file. This means that changes (e.g. due to assigned rights lawsuits) are processed retroactively.
Changes as of 26 April 2024:
Final figures for 2022 and provisional figures for 2023 have been added.
When will there be new figures?
Final figures for 2023 and provisional figures for 2024 will be published in the second quarter of 2025.
