Canada Becomes Major Poultry Leader In World Trade
Canada has grown into a leading poultry producer and exporter. Dressed poultry shipped to Great Britain rose sharply, with over 2.25 million pounds exported in the year ending December 1904. Eggs also expanded, rising from 270,000 dozen two years earlier to about 2 million dozen annually. The industry’s progress came from Dominion support, research, marketing improvements, and better feeding and handling methods, boosting home consumption and per capita egg use. The poultry population reached 59,738,700 birds, with 55,429,000 chickens, 643,600 turkeys, 143,600 geese, and remaining ducks. Prices for eggs and dressed poultry stayed near 1933–34 levels, aiding farmer revenue.
