A dataset of statistics of egg breeding farms in China from 1998 to 2020

Abstract

Historical statistics of egg breeding farms are important for future market regulation and advancing the high-quality development of the egg industry. This dataset uses data from the China Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Yearbook(China Animal Industry Yearbook) to compile and organize statistical data of egg breeding farms from 1998 to 2020. The data have processed using Excel software for organization, summarization, review, and other necessary operations. Following the basic principles of completeness and consistency, the data underwent processing and quality checks. Furthermore, multiple linear regression analysis was then conducted using SPSS software to address missing data. In this way, we obtained a dataset of statistics of egg breeding farms in China from 1998 to 2020. The dataset comprises three data files, involving statistics on the number, year-end stock, and slaughter volume of breeder farms, grandparent and above egg farms, and parent egg farms in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) across China, with a total of 61 data items. This data set can provide data support for the regional distribution of breeder farms, forecasting the trends in the egg industry, and formulating research on production planning and industrial layout strategies.
