Poultry - Production and Value 2014 Summary (April 2015)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Statistical Methodology
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 Regional Field Offices (RFOs) maintain a list of all known poultry operations and
use known sources to update their lists. Data are collected from broiler hatcheries which hatch over one million chicks
annually and from turkey grow-out operations raising 1,000 or more turkeys annually. 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. RFOs
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: All 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; broiler hatcheries which hatch over one million chicks annually; and turkey grow-out
operations raising 1,000 or more turkeys annually. 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.
