Abstract
The bulletin reports major statistical series for the egg and poultry
industries since 1960. It updates U.S. Egg and Poultry Statistical Series. 1960-92
(SB-872). The bulletin is divided into four major sections: Eggs, Broilers (young
chickens), Other Chicken (mature or nonbroiler chickens), and Turkeys. Within each
section, the bulletin is further divided into indicators of production, supply and
disapppearance, and prices and costs. Each section, except Other Chicken, contains
statistical series describing production capacity such as flock size and chick or
poult placements; supply and disappearance tables contain estimates of production,
exports, shipments, consumption, and other uses; and prices and costs tables contain
estimates of prices paid and received, and costs of production.
