HATCHERY PRODUCTION
NOVEMBER 1959 .
-- cmber 16, 1959

Chick Production

Production of chicks by commercial hatcheries during November was down 5
percent from November 1958 but was up 28 percent from the 1953-57 average.
The number of broiler-type chicks hatched was down 4 percent from November
1958. The number of egg-type chicks hatched was down 17 percent.

Production of broiler-type chicks during November totaled 128, 727, 000,
compared with 133, 650, 000 in November 1958. The number produced during
the 11 months of 1959--January through November--totaled 1, 676, 553, 000, about
the same number as produced during these months in 1958. Egg-type chicks
hatched in November totaled 13, 473, 000, compared with 16, 248, 000 in November
1958. Production January through November totaled 532, 001, 000--8 percent
less than during the same period in 1958.

The number of eggs in incubators on December 1--both broiler-type and
egg-type--indicates that smaller December hatches than last year are in
prospect.

Poult Production

Heavy breed poult production during November was up 36 percent from Nov-
ember 1958. Heavy white breed poult production during November of 1,164, 000
was 37 percent larger than in November 1958. The hatch of other heavy breed
poults (mostly bronze) of 364, 000 was 34 percent more than in November last
year. For the year to date, January through November, the hatch of all heavy
V breed poults totaled 71, 681, 000--1 percent more than a year earlier. Heavy
white breed production January through November was up 32 percent, but other
heavy breeds were down 7 percent. The number of light breed poults hatched
in November totaled 351, 000--down 47 percent from November 1958. The
January through November hatch of light breeds totaled 15, 357, 000, compared
with 13, 565, 000 during the same period last year. The cumulative hatch of all
turkey poults January through November totaled 87, 038, 000- 3 percent more
than were hatched during these months in 1958.

Turkey eggs in incubators on December 1 indicate that the number of heavy
breed poults hatched in December will be larger than in December 1958. The
hatch of light breed poults will be smaller.
