Tridge summary
The USDA has reported a significant decrease in turkey hatchery numbers, with a 15% drop in turkey eggs in incubation compared to last year. This decline is attributed to producers cutting back on production and the impact of Highly Pathagenic Avian Influenza in commercial flocks. As a result, the number of poults hatched in June has also decreased by 18% compared to last year. The USDA projects that turkey production will total 5.214 billion pounds by 2024, with the next production estimate scheduled for August 12th.
