The Poultry And Egg Situation Vol 126

Excerpt from The Poultry and Egg Situation, Vol. 126: April 1948 During the last 6 months of 1948, egg supplies are likely to be 2 to 5 percent below the same period of 1947. More shell eggs from cold storage will be available for' domestic use than in 1947. The into storage movement of shell eggs during March and April, was about double last year's. On April 1, cold storage stocks of shell eggs'were million cases, more than a year earlier. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Poultry and Egg Situation, Vol. 169: Jan. 26, 1954 Several factors figure in this season's very moderate seasonal de cline. The low stocks of frozen egg are one of these factors. January 1 stocks of frozen egg were only M2 million pounds, even smaller than the small holdings of 50 million pounds on January 1, 1953, and considerably below the 67 million pounds of January 1, 1952. Because of the low current level of stocks, egg breaking in large volume probably will begin early in the season. If that occurs, a part of the seasonal surplus of eggs will be diverted before it becomes a serious price-depressing influence. Also affecting the situation is the long-time trend toward evening out seasonal variation in egg production, and with it a corresponding evening out of seasonal price changes. This has resulted largely from the increased rates of lay per hen in the fall. Rates of lay in the spring have increased relatively little. Partly as a result of the seasonal evening-out process, egg produc tion in the next few months is likely to exceed 1953 by only small margins. The possible increase will be due chiefly to the 3 percent increase from last year in January 1 numbers of potential layers on farms. Rates of lay are not likely to be significantly above a year ago. Production in October December 1953 was 6 percent higher than a year earlier, with the increased rate of lay the principal reason for the increase.

Excerpt from The Poultry and Egg Situation, Vol. 132: January 1949 Production of eggs in the fall and winter months has increased relative to spring. This change is due to the faster increase in rate of lay per bird in the october-january period compared with other months of the year. The upward trend in the rate of lay is primarily the result of progress in breeding and flock management. With this uptrend, the Nation's current egg requirements are being met with fewer layers than in earlier years, even when the increase in population is considered.

Excerpt from The Poultry and Egg Situation, Vol. 175: Jan. 26, 1955 Laying flocks were culled at a faster rate last fall than in past years, and fewer late-hatched pullets were added to flocks. The number of layers on farms on January 1 was only 1 percent above a year earlier compared with an increase of 8 percent on October 1, l95k. Egg production, which on January 1, 1955 was about h percent larger than a year earlier, will continue to increase seasonally the next two or three months. How ever, during the flush period output will be about at l95h levels, rather than above the year before. Although springtime egg supplies will thus be somewhat smaller than expected earlier, they will nevertheless remain at a high level compared with other recent years. Egg prices in mid-january averaged about the same as in mid-december, when the price received by farmers was cents per dozen compared with h8.5 cents a year earlier. The U. 8. Average egg-feed price ratio in mid December was (pounds of poultry ration that could be bought with the value of 1 dozen eggs), compared with in mid-december 1953, and as the December average for 1988-52. Off-season production of chicks for laying-flock replacement has been considerably lower in the past few months than a year earlier. Hatch ery output of replacement chicks this spring is likely also to be lower. Broiler prices rose sharply in the last few days of December and in early January, when they were 22 to 25 cents in some areas compared with 17 to 20 cents a month earlier. The increase came after a full year of prices generally unsatisfactory to growers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Poultry and Egg Situation, Vol. 91: July 1944 Farm egg production for June was at a record high for that month of million cases but this represented a drop of 19 percent from May pro duction. Last year's decline from May was 18 percent. Production for the first 6 months of 19mh was million cases, the highest ever recorded for any comparable 6-month - period and 50 percent above the lo-year average.

Excerpt from The Poultry and Egg Situation, Vol. 218: March 1962 On March 2, the Department of Agriculture announced that it would buy dried egg solids to help remove excess supplies from the market. Last year, in a similar program, the Department contracted for the equivalent of 3 percent of the eggs produced between February 1 and July 12.
