US 2011 poultry production to reach estimated 43.26 billion pounds

In its latest report, the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimated that total U.S. poultry production for 2011 will reach roughly 43.26 billion pounds, up from the 2010 number of 42.84 billion pounds.
The estimate, which includes broilers, turkeys and mature chickens, includes a slight decrease in turkey production (5.56 billion pounds for 2011 compared to 2010's 5.61 billion pounds) and an increase in broiler production (37.20 billion pounds for 2011, compared to 36.73 billion pounds for 2010).
Egg production is also expected to be up slightly from 2010, with a projected 7.64 billion for 2011 compared to 7.59 billion dozen produced last year.
