Broiler Marketing
Guide Updated For 196*
The U.S. Depailment of Ag
liculture has updated its “1969
Bi oiler Maiketmg Guide” issued
last May. The updated iccom
mcndations suggest levels of pro
duction for the louith quaitei
of 1969 and the first quarter of
1970
The guide suggests levels of
placement in two areas of pio
duction hatching eggs in in
cubators for subsequent mar
keting as broilers and pullet
chicks in hatching supply flocks
On the number of eggs to be
placed in incubators, USDA iec
ommends-
For placements resulting in
broilers to be marketed during
the fourth quarter of 1969 an
increase of 7 percent from the
same quarter in 1968.
For placements to be market
ed as broileis during the first
quarter of 1970 an increase
of 5 percent from earlier,
aid lor placements to result in
nailers to be marketed- during
thanksgiving, Christmas, and
New Year’s holidays a reduc
tion of 30 peicent fiom place
ments duiing the same periods
a year eailier
On the number of pullet chicks
lo be placed in broiler hatchery
supply flocks, USDA lecom
mends
Pullet placements for the bal
ance of 1969 same as in 1968,
and Pullet placements duiing the
fiist quarter of 1970 an in
crease of 3 percent from the
same quaiter in 1969.
These recommended place
ments are maximums If pi o
duceis exceed them, the conse
quences could be greater sup
plies than needed and substant
ially lower puces.
The basic ingredients for an
excessive increase in broiler pi o
duction have been evident in the
bi oiler industry for some time,
USDA reports The demand for
broilers has been unusually
strong. And the broiler hatch
ery supply flock has been in
creased substantia’ly from a
year earlier. If the demand for
bi oilers should moderate later
this year and in 1970 because of
increased supplies of red meat
and a decrease m the late of
giowth of the economy, this
would place severe piessuie on
bi oiler puces, USDA points out.
The Bioilei Marketing Guide
is issued by USDA’s Consumer
and Maiketmg Seivice to did
pi oducers in adjusting their out
put to the needs of consumers.
The lecommendations aie aimed
at averting an undei-or-ovei-sup
ply of bioileis on the maiket,
with resulting exti ernes in prices.
