Quarterly Egg Production Estimators

Robert G. Hoffman

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1970, vol. 2, issue 1, 155-160

Abstract: Egg production is a continuous process determined by the number of layers in the nation's flock and the rate at which they produce. Annual production usually varies little from year to year. However, economic and biological factors with accompanying management considerations cause production to vary seasonally with peaks usually occurring in the second quarter. Total egg production statistics include eggs produced for human consumption as well as hatching purposes. The impact of changes in total egg production on farm prices is difficult to assess since eggs used for hatching (primarily broilers) and table eggs are influenced by different economic and structural factors.
