UK's poultry production up 5% in the first nine months
AHDB analyst Rebecca Oborne explained that much of this increase is based on broiler and turkey production, which increased by 4% (50,800 tonnes) and 9% (9,200 tonnes) respectively.
Producers in the UK slaughtered a number of 810 million broiler chickens in the mentioned period, with an increase of 4% compared to year-earlier levels. Meanwhile, the number of slaughtered turkeys reached nearly half a million.
Furthermore, Oborne said that there was an increase in poultry placings which was due to a rise in the GB commercial broiler numbers. Commercial broiler placings were up 5% to 824.2 million head in the first nine months of this year.
Oborne added that a rise of 6% has also been reported in the numbers of commercial layers, while turkeys and breeders have seen little change year on year.
