The nation’s poultry industry is experiencing notable growth, with new federal statistics revealing a substantial increase in production volumes this year.
According to data released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, ready-to-cook weight has climbed 10 percent compared to the same period last year.
The increase demonstrates the continued expansion of poultry processing operations across the country as demand for chicken and other poultry products remains strong in the marketplace.
The USDA regularly tracks poultry slaughter statistics to monitor industry trends and production levels nationwide.
