The latest federal agricultural statistics show positive trends in the United States poultry sector, with increases reported in both egg setting and chick placement activities.
According to new data from the National Agricultural Statistics Service, the number of broiler-type eggs placed for hatching across the country rose by 2 percent during the reporting period.
Meanwhile, the placement of broiler-type chicks throughout the United States increased by 3 percent, indicating continued growth in poultry production operations nationwide.
These figures reflect the ongoing activity within America’s commercial poultry industry, which supplies chicken meat to consumers across the country.
