REVISIONS TO MILK SUPPLY AND USE AND BROILER STOCKS DATA 

IN USDA’S MAY 9 WASDE REPORT 

 

Washington, May 5, 2008 -The May 9 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) 
report will reflect changes in the milk supply and use and broiler stocks data. U.S. commercial exports 
for dairy products on a fat-basis and skim solids-basis have been added to the table and subtracted 
from commercial use (table format follows). Commercial use will reflect domestic commercial use 
only. Commercial exports on a milk equivalent basis are added to the supply and use balances in 
recognition of the growing importance of commercial dairy product exports to the dairy sector. 

 

Broiler stocks data in the May WASDE will be adjusted to remove chicken paws, currently included in 
the stocks estimate, to maintain consistency with production and export data. 

 

Historical revisions to the milk and broiler meat supply and use tables back to 2004 and 2003, 
respectively, will be available at 8:45 a.m. on May 9 at: 
http://www.usda.gov/oce/commodity/wasde/revisions/historical.htm. 

 

The May 9th WASDE report will present USDA’s initial assessment of U.S. and world crop supply and 
demand prospects and U.S. prices for the 2008/09 season. Also presented will be the first calendar-
year 2009 projections of U.S. livestock, poultry, and dairy products. 

 

The WASDE report will be issued at 8:30 a.m. May 9 by the World Agricultural Outlook Board of 
USDA’s Office of the Chief Economist.
