Terms and Definitions Used for Poultry Slaughter Estimates

Ante-Mortem Condemnations: Birds condemned prior to their entry into the slaughter plant.

Average Live Weight: The weight of the whole bird, before slaughter. Excludes post-mortem condemnations.

Certified Ready-to-Cook: The weight of poultry certified wholesome by inspection after post-mortem condemnation

pounds are removed. Ready-to-cook represents poultry meat ready for the marketing channel.

Dressing Percent: Usually expressed as a percentage yield of frozen and chilled carcass in relation to the weight of the

live bird.

Ducks: Includes all ducks regardless of age and weight.

Federally Inspected (FI) Plants: Plants that transport meat interstate must employ federal inspectors to assure

compliance with USDA standards.

Mature Chickens: Fowl from breeder and market egg flocks and stags and cocks.

Number of Head: Includes post-mortem condemnations.

Old Turkeys: Fully matured birds held for egg production, usually over 15 months of age.

Plant, Slaughter: An establishment where birds are killed and butchered.

Post-Mortem Condemnations: Carcasses or parts condemned by the inspector because of disease or mishandling and

removed from the slaughter line and destroyed.

Slaughter: Killing and butchering of birds primarily for food.

Total Live Weight: The total weight of live birds, before slaughter. Excludes post-mortem condemnations.

Young Chickens: Commercially grown broilers-fryers and other young immature birds such as roasters and capons.

Young Turkeys: Young birds grown to a matured market age, and other turkeys such as fryers/roasters and young

breeders.


Statistical Methodology

Data Sources: Data for poultry slaughter estimates are collected by inspectors of the Food Safety and Inspection Service

(FSIS), USDA for all Federally Inspected plants. Over 99 percent of the total United States slaughter for any species is

under Federal Inspection. The number of head slaughtered daily, by species and class, as well as condemnations and total

live and dressed weights are obtained by shift for each plant. Approximately 310 plants slaughtered poultry in the United

States under Federal Inspection in 2015. Young chickens were slaughtered in 37 States, young turkeys in 30 States.

Revision Policy: Data for the previous month and year-to-date totals are subject to revision the following month after the

initial monthly estimates are published. Final data are published in the annual summary released in February and include

any revisions made to current year’s and previous year’s published data. Revisions are generally the result of late reports

or corrections received by FSIS from plants and are usually less than one-half of one percent. No revisions will be made

to the previous year’s data after publication of the annual summary in February.

Procedures and Reliability: Plant inspectors submit data electronically for each shift a plant operates. An edit provides

checks for the detection of errors such as invalid plant information, duplication, and erroneous data. Data are accumulated

to monthly totals for this release.

Data for major slaughter plants with missing reports are adjusted prior to publication to assure that all plants slaughtering

a significant portion of a specific class are included. Estimates for missing shifts are made only after verifying that the

plant was in operation. Adjustments are based on a shift determined to be similar to the one missing. Late reports replace

imputed data as they become available. While there is a varying degree of incompleteness from month to month, it has

only a minimal impact on the published totals.

Poultry slaughter estimates are based on a census of operating plants and, therefore, have no sampling error. However,

they may be subject to errors such as omissions, duplications, and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the

data. These errors are minimized through strict quality controls in the edit and summarization process, and a careful

review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
