Broiler Market Prices Unstable
H E Larzelere from Michigan State University cautions that higher per capita broiler consumption does not guarantee rising demand. Prices can fall when supply expands, especially later in the year, even with some demand, as seasonal marketing and overall availability influence outcomes. Growers should plan multiple production lots and monitor chick replacement rates to adjust.
