This is a renewal of a group of long
running poultry surveys. These surveys are used to provide data to
prepare estimates of production, disposition, and income derived
from eggs, chickens, and turkeys. The comprehensive series of
surveys keeps the government, health officials, and poultry
industry abreast of current status and coming changes. Only minor
adjustments have been made to this program from the previous
approval due to changes in the target population. Every five years
NASS conducts a program review following the completion of the
Census of Agriculture. NASS considered public input requested
through a program review announcement released on Dec. 19, 2023 for
these changes. The poultry program changes are summarized in the
following Agricultural Statistics Board Notice: April 4, 2024 “NASS
announces program changes following five-year review” at this link:
