HDR1012000150020725951500CHICKENS & EGGS HDR2012000150020725951500CKEG HIGHLIGHTS Released July 25, 1995, by the Agricultural Statistics Board. Estimates refer to May, June and July 1995. June Egg Production Up Slightly U.S. egg production totaled 6.00 billion during June 1995, up slightly from the 5.99 billion produced June 1994. Production included 5.05 billion table eggs and 950 million hatching egg type, of which 891 million were broiler-type and 59.0 million were egg-type. The total number of layers during June 1995 averaged 288 million, down fractionally from the average number of layers during June 1994. June egg production per 100 layers was 2,084 eggs, compared with 2,081 in June 1994. For information call Joel D. Moore at (202) 720-3244. Office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET. Pou 1-1 (7-95) All layers in the U.S. on July 1, 1995, totaled 287 million, the same as a year ago. The 287 million layers consisted of 235 million layers producing table or commercial type eggs, 48.9 million layers producing broiler-type hatching eggs, and 2.71 million layers producing egg-type hatching eggs. Rate of lay per day on July 1, 1995, averaged 69.5 eggs per 100 layers, up slightly from the 69.4 eggs a year ago. Laying flocks in the 30 major egg production States produced 5.67 billion eggs during June, up slightly from June 1994. The average number of layers during June, at 272 million, was also up only slightly from the year earlier. Individual State estimates are available for the 30 major egg producing States. These States are listed on page 8 of this release and account for approximately 96 percent of the total U.S. egg production. Production for the other States are grouped into an "Other States" category and combined with the 30 States published individually to obtain a U.S. estimate. Individual State estimates' for "Other States" are available annually in the "Layers and Egg Production" report. Egg-Type Chicks Hatched Up 4 Percent Egg-type chicks hatched during June totaled 33.4 million, up 4 percent from June 1994. Eggs in incubators totaled 26.6 million on July 1, 1995, down slightly from a year ago. Domestic placements of egg-type pullet chicks for future hatchery supply flocks by leading breeders totaled 234,000 during June 1995, down 8 percent from the 254,000 of June 1994. Broiler Hatch Up 3 Percent The June 1995 hatch of broiler-type chicks, at 669 million, was 3 percent above June of the previous year. There were 556 million eggs in incubators on July 1, 1995, up 4 percent from a year earlier. Leading breeders placed 6.18 million broiler-type pullet chicks for future domestic hatchery supply flocks during June 1995, up 5 percent from June 1994.

HDR2012000150020725951500PROCEDURES & RELIABILITY Procedures and Reliability Data Sources: Primary data for the "Chickens and Eggs" report are from weekly and/or monthly questionnaires sent to producers. An attempt is made to collect information for layer and egg estimates from each known contractor and independent producer who has over 30,000 table egg layers. Coverage for operations with less than 30,000 table egg layers are estimated each month based on data reported in December. Approximately 900 contractors, independent egg producers, and started pullet operations are contacted each month. All known hatcheries, approximately 360, are contacted for information on a weekly and/or monthly basis. Revisions: The previous month's estimates are subject to revision if late reports or corrected data indicates a different level. Additionally, revisions needed after the monthly report will be made at the end of the marketing year and published in the annual summaries of "Layers and Egg Production" and "Hatchery Production". Procedures and Reliability: Operations are mailed a questionnaire and given adequate time to respond by mail. Those that do not respond are phoned. Great care is exercised to ensure that all operations are accounted for during each survey period. However, there are usually missing reports that must be accounted for in the estimates. Sound statistical methodology is employed to derive estimates from the reported data. All data are checked for unusual values. All operations' data are compared to their own past operating profiles and also to trends from other operations. Data for missing operations are estimated based on similar operations or historical data. Survey data are subject to non-sampling errors such as omissions and mistakes in reporting and in processing. While these errors cannot be measured directly, they are minimized by reviewing all data for consistency and reasonableness. Egg-type chicks hatched are comprised of all chicks of egg-type domesticated breeds including males and chicks destined for hatchery supply flocks and research purposes. The relationship of chicks hatched to chicken inventory and poultry marketings is carefully monitored. The disposition of egg-type chicks hatched prior to placement into the laying flock can vary significantly, which can make comparisons to changes in layer inventory inconsistent over time. Intended placement data reported by leading breeders include pullet chicks expected from eggs sold the preceding month. The breeders in this report account for a large percentage of replacement pullets for hatchery supply flocks. Production of replacement pullets by these breeders indicates the number of pullets available to hatchery egg supply flocks several months before the pullets will actually move into the flocks.
