User Engagement

Data from the poultry slaughter and hatchery statistics are an invaluable evidence base for policy makers, academics and researchers. The data is also heavily relied upon by representatives of the poultry industry. The poultry slaughter and hatchery statistics is also used by the British Egg Industry Council (BEIC) as layer chick placings indicate the future laying flock size (and hence egg production). The British Poultry Council also makes heavy use of the data as the Commercial broiler chick sets and placings give evidence on the current state of the industry and predict the available supplies of meat for the coming year. This, in turn, can affect poultry meat prices and trade decisions on levels of imports and exports to maintain supply. The breeder chick placings are also a key measure of future flock sizes and intentions of the sector. The Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board AHDB- Cereals and Oilseeds, rely on the chick placings data as a good indicator of feed demand and hence grain usage by the sector.
