U.S. Broiler Hatchery Down on Year
WASHINGTON - May 20/09 - SNS -- Broiler hatchery activity in the United States Broiler was down from last year during the seven days ending May 16, 2009, but managed a mixed performance on the week, reveals this week's USDA sector report.
Commercial hatcheries in the 19-State weekly program set 204.0 million eggs in incubators during the week. This was down 6.4% from the eggs set the same week last year.
Average hatchability for chicks hatched during the week was 85%. Average hatchability is calculated by dividing chicks hatched during the week by eggs set three weeks earlier. Broiler Chicks Placed Down 5 Percent Broiler growers in the 19-State weekly program placed 168 million chicks for meat production during the week ending May 16, 2009. Placements were down 5% from the comparable week a year earlier. Cumulative placements from December 28, 2008 through May 16, 2009 were 3.36 billion, down 6% from the same period a year earlier. ******** Subscription Information To subscribe to NASS reports or to order single copies, call toll free, 1- 800-999-6779.
