Trade sentiment was steady overall, to
instances fully steady in the Midwest. Re
tail demand was mixed, mostly slow to
moderate; however, optimism was high in
parts of the Midwest as the area prepares
for upcoming winter storm weather hood
service was irregular and spotty, better
where fast food promotions were active
Supplies were usually sufficient to more
available for heavier sizes. In the parts
structure, trading was mixed Breast
items were adequate, closer balanced for
boneless skinless, wings were readily
available, and dark meat was irregular,
but obtainable In production areas, live
supplies were moderate Weights covered
the full range, but was mostly desirable to
heavy The 12-CTTY Weighted Average
Price for 03/03/03 was 60.83, compared to
60 38 last week, and 55 39 a vear ago
Advantages
• simple assembly of 3 to 8 tiers;
• feed troughs are mounted on
supports for trough stability and
long service life;
• feed trough with inner rim provides
minimal feed losses;
• upper walkway for batteries with
more than 5 tiers = easy bird
control;
• better thermal economy (reduced
heating expenses and reduced
investment costs per bird) is
achieved with systems of 4 or
more tiers due to increased
density;
• remarkably low bird mortality
during rearing.
