SUMMARY--2003
EGG PRODUCTION
The total farm value of poultry and eggs produced in Georgia increased 11 percent to $2.55 billion for the 2003 production year. Value of production from broilers totaled $2.14 billion, up 11 percent from 2002. The value of production for all eggs was $396 million, up 11 percent from 2002. The sale of chickens excluding broilers totaled 18.0 million birds with a value of sales of $ 7.8 million.
BROILER PRODUCTION
For the twentieth consecutive year, Georgia has been the leader in broiler production with 1.26 billion birds in 2003. Production decreased 2 percent from 1.29 billion broilers produced in 2002. Pounds produced in 2003 totaled 6.30 billion. The average price received per pound for broilers in 2003 was 34.0 cents per pound, up 4.0 cents from the 2002 average price. Georgia ranked first in the number of broilers produced and accounted for 15 percent of the number and 14 percent of pounds of the Nation's broiler production in 2003. For the ninth consecutive year, Georgia ranked number one in the Nation in value of broiler production.
Egg production in Georgia for the year ending November 30, 2003, totaled 5.05 billion eggs, 2 percent more than in 2002. The number of layers averaged 20.4 million in 2003, slightly less than the previous year. In hatching egg flocks, the average number of layers was down 2 percent, to 9.22 million from 9.42 million in 2002. The average number of layers in table egg flocks was 11.2 million in 2003. All layers in Georgia produced an average of 247 eggs per hen in 2003, 4 eggs more than 2002's average of 243. Hatching egg flocks produced 2.05 billion eggs during 2003, 3 percent less than the previous year. Table egg flocks produced 3.00 billion eggs in 2003, 5 percent more than 2002. The average price for all eggs in 2003 was 94.1 cents per dozen, 8.1 cents more than the previous year. Table egg prices averaged 55.9 cents per dozen, up 17.3 cents from the previous year. Hatching egg prices averaged $1.57 per dozen, down 1.3 cents from the previous year. Georgia's total egg production was 59 percent table eggs and 41 percent hatching eggs. Georgia ranked sixth in the Nation in 2003 in both the average number of layers and in total egg production. Iowa was the leading State in both layers and egg production followed by Ohio.
