WM,
Broiler

01
According to a report
prepared by A. Kennit
Birth, poultry marketing
specialist at Penn State, both
the pounds and the numbers
of broilers produced in 1979
will exceed the year earlier
levels.
He expects prices the first
quarter of the year to
average close to the year
earlier, levels, ' when the
wholesale prices of Grade A
ready-to-cook broilers in
New York City averaged
about 42 cents a pound.
He noted that the broiler
situation can change quicker
than the situation for either
eggs or turkeys, and said
that he expects about the
same profit picture from
broiler production next year
if the industry does not go
overboard in expansion,
He thought the expansion
might be limited by the
availability of hatching eggs
and hatchability. Also af
fecting the expansion will be
the high capital investment
required for today’s modem
broiler houses.
' According to Birth, the
prices of broilers are being
strengthened by the high
prices of beef.
One of the plus factors in
the broiler industry is the
increased tonnage of poultry

1978 was a good year for the broiler industry, and those involved are hoping
for continued growth and expansion throughout 1979.
meat now being used for
further 'processing. This
factor helps expand meat
sales because most of these
processed products are of
the convenience type.
Cleve Hastings, grow-out
manager of Pennfield
Poultry, Lancaster, said that
there was continued‘growth
in the Pennfield broiler
business in 1978.
He told that the shortage of
hatching eggs held back that
expansion a little more than
they would have liked to see,
but added that that shortage
was nationwide, and has

affected future expansion
plans somewhat
The year 1979 will see
more expansion, he con
tinued, and the company
expects a year “on par” as
this one in 1978. He thought
some new housing would be
needed, and noted that some
of the primary breeders are
being booked “way ahead”,
which may continue to slow
down the expansion.
He too spoke of the higher
prices for both beef and
pork, mentioning the lower
supply of beef available, and
stated that consumers are
becoming increasingly
aware that poultry is
nutritionally an excellent
buy. He said that the per
capita consumption of
poultry is expected to in-,
crease each year.
Representing Victor
Weaver Poultry, New
Holland, Allan Tate stated
that the broiler production
there will be growing next
year, with the company
expected to increase its kill,
using more birds from the
local area. The company
now kills 105,000 birds a day,
compared to 87,000 a year
ago.
He, too, thought that the
outlook for -the broiler in
dustry was good, citing the
high prices of pork and beef
as making poultry a very
buyable product.
