Abstract: Excerpts from the Preface: Fundamental changes in the production of poultry and eggs, and in the structure of the industry that moves these products from farmers to consumers, have resulted in demands for improved market information. In recent years, a broad program of research has been conducted to achieve this purpose. This report summarizes the results obtained in the second phase of a research project designed to improve market news reporting of poultry and egg movements from farms into commercial trade channels at the earliest stage of marketing. The Commercial Poultry Slaughter Report was developed under the first phase of the program, the Commercial Egg Movement Report under the second phase. Both are weekly reports for the continental United States, issued on a current basis by the Dairy and Poultry Market News Branch.
