GEORGIA POULTRY FACTS 1985 EDITION
This publication is a compilation of all statistical data on poultry released by the Georgia Crop Reporting Service during the past year with comparisons back to 1978. It is designed to aid data users throughout the poultry industry in analyzing historical data and to assist in projecting future trends in the industry.
Georgia's value of poultry production including commercial broilers, eggs and turkeys in 1984 totaled a record high $1,212.1 million. This was $216.4 million more than 1983 and $191.5 million more than the previous record high in 1981. Value from commercial broilers and chickens was 24 percent above 1983, and the value of eggs was the highest since 1981. Georgia maintained its rank as the second leading commercial broiler producing State, exceeded only by Arkansas.
Number of eggs produced in Georgia totaled 4,474 million, 4 percent less than the 4,671 million produced in 1983. Value of production was $321.4 million, up 15 percent from a year ago. In 1984 the average price for eggs was 86.2 cents per dozen, 14.5 cents per dozen more than in 1983. Value of production for turkeys produced in Georgia was $34.6 million, 43 percent more than 1983 and 36 percent above 1982. The number produced in 1984 was 2.6 million, 14 percent more than 1983 but 4 percent less than 1982. Our sincere gratitude goes to cooperating reporters, hatcherymen, egg farmers, feed dealers, the Poultry Improvement Association, the various trade associations and all others who provided the individual operation data that made these estimates possible.
Current poultry information is published by the Georgia Crop Reporting Service weekly in the Weekly Hatchery report and semi-monthly in the Georgia Farm Report.

GEORGIA POULTRY FACTS 1986 EDITION
This publication is a compilation of all statistical data on poultry released by the Georgia Crop Reporting Service during the past year with comparisons back to 1979. It is designed to aid data users throughout the poultry industry in analyzing historical data and to assist in projecting future trends in the industry.
Georgia's value of poultry production including commercial broilers, eggs and turkeys in 1985 totaled $1,083.6 million. This was $128.5 million less than the record high $1,212.1 million in 1984. Value from commercial broilers and chickens was 5 percent below 1984, and the value of eggs dropped 27 percent from 1984 to $235.5 million. Georgia maintained its rank as the second leading commercial broiler producing State, exceeded by Arkansas. Number of eggs produced in Georgia totaled 4,282 million, 4 percent less than the 4,474 million produced in 1984. In 1985, the average price for eggs was 66.0 cents per dozen, 20.2 cents per dozen less than in 1984.
Value of production for turkeys produced in Georgia was $35.1 million, 2 percent more than 1984 and 46 percent above 1983. The number raised in 1985 was 2.63 million, 2 percent more than 1984 and 16 percent more than 1983.
Our sincere gratitude goes to cooperating reporters, hatcherymen, egg farmers, feed dealers, the Poultry Improvement Association, the various trade associations and all others who provided the individual operation data that made these estimates possible.
Current poultry information is published by the Georgia Crop Reporting Service weekly in the Weekly Hatchery report and semi-monthly in the Georgia Farm Report.

16 percent from 1985.

Value of

production from broilers totaled $951.9

million, up 20 percent from 1985. The

record high value resulted from both a

record high number produced and a record

high price per pound. The value of

production for all eggs was $263.4

million, up 12 percent from 1985. The

value of production for turkeys declined

9 percent to S31.9 million in 1986.

The total farm value of poultry and eggs produced in Georgia amounted to $1.12 billion for the 1987 production year, down 11 percent from 1986. Value of production from broilers totaled $835.7 million, down 12 percent from 1986. The value of production for all eggs was $255.1 million, down 3 percent from 1986. The value of production for turkeys declined 30 percent to $22.2 million in 1987.

All layers in Georgia produced an average 243 eggs per hen in 1987, the same as in 1986. Hatching egg flocks produced 1.31 billion eggs during 1987, an increase of 6 percent from the previous year. Table egg flocks produced 3.17 billion eggs in 1987, 3 percent more than 1986. The average price for all eggs in 1987 was 68.4 cents per dozen, 4.8 cents per dozen less than 1986. Table egg prices averaged 44.0 cents per dozen, down 7.1 cents from the previous year. Hatching egg prices averaged 133.7 cents per dozen, down 0.7 cents per dozen from 1986. Georgia's total egg production was 71 percent table eggs and 29 percent hatching eggs. Georgia ranked third in the Nation in 1987 in the average number of layers and fourth in total egg production. California was the leading state in layers and egg production, followed by Indiana. Pennsylvania was third in egg production. Georgia ranked second in value of eggs produced behind California in 1987.

PREFACE This publication is a compilation of all statistical data on poultry released by the Georgia Agricultural Statistics Service during 1988 with comparisons back to 1982. Also included are U.S. level statistical data. The publication is designed to aid data users throughout the poultry industry in analyzing historical data and to assist in projecting future trends in the industry.
Our sincere gratitude goes to cooperating reporters, hatchery personnel, egg farmers, feed dealers, the Poultry Improvement Association, the various trade associations and all others who provided data that made these estimates possible.
Current poultry information is published by the Georgia Agricultural Statistics Service weekly in the Weekly Hatchery report and semi-monthly in the Georgia Farm Report. These publications are available free of charge to farmers and agribusiness firms who provide the basic data on which reports are based. A nominal subscription fee is charged for other data users.

GEORGIA POULTRY HIGHLIGHTS
1988 Farm Value of Poultry and Eggs $1,340,700,000
Second in Poultry Value of Production Second in Broiler Production Fifth in Egg Production

SUMMARY
The total farm value of poultry and eggs produced in Georgia amounted to $1.34 billion for the 1988 production year, up 19 percent from 1987. Value of production from broilers totaled $1.1 billion, up 28 percent from 1987. The value of production for all eggs was $230.4 million, down 10 percent from 1987. The value of production for turkeys increased 34 percent to $29.7 million in 1988.
BROILER PRODUCTION
Georgia broiler producers produced 772.8 million broilers in 1988 for the sixth consecutive year of record high numbers. Production increased 5 percent from the 733.4 million broilers produced in 1987. Pounds produced in 1988 totaled 3.40 billion, an 8 percent increase from 1987's3.15 billion pounds. The average price received per pound for broilers in 1988 was 31.5 cents per pound. This is 5.0 cents more than last year. Georgia ranked second to Arkansas in the number of broilers produced and accounted for 15 percent of the Nation's total broiler production in 1988.
EGG PRODUCTION
Eggs produced in Georgia for the year ending November 30,1988, totaled 4.29 billion, 4 percent less than the 4.48 billion eggs in 1987, and 1 percent less than the 4.32 billion eggs in 1986. The number of layers averaged 17.8 million in 1988, 3 percent less than the 18.4 million layers the previous year. In hatching egg flocks, the average number of layers was down slightly in 1988, to 5.87 million from 5.90 million in 1987. The average number of layers in table egg flocks was 11.9

million in 1988. All layers in Georgia produced an average of 241 eggs per hen in 1988, 2 eggs less than the 243 eggs in 1987. Hatching egg flocks produced 1.31 billion eggs during 1988, slightly more than the previous year. Table egg flocks produced 2.98 billion eggs in 1988, 6 percent less than 1987. The average price for all eggs in 1988 was 64.4 cents per dozen, 4.0 cents per dozen less than 1987. Table egg prices averaged 40.9 cents per dozen, down 3.1 cents from the previous year. Hatching egg prices averaged 124.0 cents per dozen, down 9.7 cents per dozen from 1987. Georgia's total egg production was 69 percent table eggs and 31 percent hatching eggs. Georgia ranked third in the Nation in 1988 in the average number of layers and fifth in total egg production. California was the leading state in layers and egg production followed by Indiana. Pennsylvania and Ohio were third and fourth, respectively, in egg production. Georgia ranked second in value of eggs produced behind California in 1988.
TURKEYS
Turkeys produced in Georgia during 1988 totaled 2.40 million birds, down 1 percent from 1987. Pounds of turkey produced in 1988 totaled 70.8 million compared with 67.4 million pounds produced in 1987. This is a 5 percent increase from the 1987 poundage.
