C6—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 24,1981
UNIVERSITY PARK - How
long will it take the egg industry to
recoup its losses of the past 2
years? Just when it appears that
prices are high enough to return
profits, the supply increases or
demand decreases and prices go
downward.
Last year, prices increased
sharply m July and August
because of reduced output due to
high heat and humidity in major
egg production areas, according to
A. Kermit Birth, Penn State .
poultry marketing specialist. This
stopped the reduction in number of
layers on farms which began in
March 1980 and continued into
June. In the period September
through December, 1980, there
were more layers on farms the

When will egg industry recoup?
' first ot the month than tor the same
period a year earlier. Through
August 1981 the average number ot
layers on farms each month
ranged between 0.6 percent below
to o.i> above a year earlier. In July
there were about 0.6 percent fewer
layers in farms than a year earlier.
This was due to keeping layers in
production tor longer intervals.
Through July this year, the
hatch of light type chicks for
laying-flock replacements is about
12 million less than a year ago.
Thus there will be about 8 percent
fewer pullets to house as egg-type
layers during the remainder ot
1981 in comparison with a year
earlier. On August 1 there were
about 11 million more force-molted
layers on farms than a year

In the period June 1980 through
July 1981, with the exception ot
September 1980, the percent ot the
nation’s laying flock being forced
molted each month exceeded that
ot the same month a year earlier.
In the same period, the number ot
torce-molted layers on farms
ranged from 14.2 to 18.3 percent of
the number of hens and pullets of
laying age. In August 1981, the
percentage was highest ot any
month since January, 1972.
Export shipments have helped
support the market and perhaps
have slowed or stopped the
downward adjustment in egg
production necessary to achieve
profitable prices for eggs without
export markets.

Eggs per layer on August 1 was
about 2 percent more than a year
earlier. The increase was due
largely to" the reduced output per
layer in 1980, which is attributed to
adverse heat and humidity at that
tune. The increased output pen
layer is not likely to continue
because of a higher proportion of
force-molted layers on farms and
it has been several months since
the majority of these layers
finished the molt. Also the number
ot layers being forced molted on
August 1 was about 1.1 percent less
than a year earlier. There is in
dication that ffie rate of increase in
force molting layers may be
decreasing.

Since there are fewer pullets
available to replace layers this
year, one of the'keys to necessary
supply adjustments is how many
layers will be force molted. There
are those in the industry that hope
feed prices-will come down and
thereby reduce, cost of production
sufficiently to maintain profitable
prices. There are many Un
certainties in estimating feed
prices for this year’s crop. Early
frosts, delayed harvest, and export
demand all have an impact on
prices and surplus available for
the poultry industry. Prices will
likely be lower than during the past
year, by how much is still un
certain.
