Special Note
Beginning with this report, Turkeys: Production, Price, and Value tables have been expanded to include
a U.S. rather than a 28 State total. This includes an “Other States” category to represent those States not
listed individually in the tables. Previous year data has been revised to allow consistency and
comparability of the data.

Poultry - Production and Value 2008 Summary
May 2009

Agricultural Statistics Board
NASS, USDA

Reliability of Poultry Production and Value Estimates
Survey Procedures: These estimates were based on inventory, disposition, production, and price
estimates as published in various NASS poultry and agricultural prices reports, as well as information
on imports, exports, and slaughter obtained from other sources. Individual NASS field offices maintain
a list of all known poultry operations and use known sources to update their lists. Data are collected
from all known broiler hatcheries and turkey grow-out operations. Also, data are collected from layer
and egg contractors and independent producers who have at least 30,000 table egg layers, flocks of
hatchery supply layers, or pullet only operations with at least 500 pullets. In every situation, operations
are contacted as close to the reference date as possible and given adequate time to respond via mail, fax,
or electronic data reporting (EDR). Those that do not respond are contacted by phone. Care is
exercised to ensure that all operations of interest are accounted for in the estimates.
Estimation Procedures: Sound statistical methodology is employed to derive the estimates from
reported data. All data are analyzed for unusual values. Data from each operation are compared to their
own past operating profile and to trends from similar operations. Data for missing operations are
estimated based on similar operations or historical data. NASS field offices prepare these estimates by
using a combination of survey indications and historic trends. Individual State estimates are reviewed
by the Agricultural Statistics Board for reasonableness.
Revision Policy: Revisions to previous estimates are made to improve estimates and are generally the
result of late or corrected data. For all species, previous year estimates are subject to revision when the
current year estimates are made. Five years of estimates are also reviewed after the Census of
Agriculture data are available. Estimates are considered final after Census review and no revisions are
made after the final estimates are published.
Reliability: Estimates in this report have no sampling error since they are based on a census of all
known contractors and independent producers who have at least 30,000 table egg layers, flocks of
hatchery supply layers, pullet only operations with at least 500 pullets, all known broiler hatcheries, and
all known turkey grow-out operations. However, estimates are subject to errors such as omission,
duplication, and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. While these errors cannot be
measured directly, they are minimized through strict quality controls in the data collection process and a
careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
