National Poultry Production Shows 5% Weight Increase Over Previous Year

New federal data reveals that ready-to-cook poultry weight has climbed 5 percent compared to the same period last year. The statistics come from the latest USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service report on poultry processing.

Federal agriculture officials report a notable increase in poultry production nationwide, with ready-to-cook weight showing a 5 percent jump from the previous year’s figures.

The data comes from the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, which tracks poultry slaughter and processing statistics across the country.

This upward trend in poultry weight indicates stronger production levels in the industry, reflecting both increased processing capacity and potentially larger bird sizes reaching market.

The agriculture statistics service regularly monitors these production metrics to provide industry stakeholders and consumers with current market information.
