CHAPTER VIII
DAIRY AND POULTRY STATISTICS
Dairy statistics in this chapter include series relating to many phases of production, movement, prices, stocks, and consumption of milk and its products. Two series of number of milk cows on farms are included in this publication. One series is an inventory number of a specific classification estimated as one of the major groups making up the total cattle population on January 1. The other series identified as ‘‘milk cows’’ is an annual average number of milk cows during the year (exclud-ing any not yet fresh) and is used in estimating milk production.
In comparing the several series of milk prices, it is important to note that prices received by farm-ers for all whole milk sold are for milk or milkfat content as actually sold, while certain prices paid by dealers for milk for fluid purposes or for specified manufacturing purposes may be quoted on a 3.5 percent butterfat basis, or for some types of manufacturing milk on the test of the milk used for that particular purpose.
Poultry and poultry products statistics include inventory numbers of chickens by classes; the pro-duction, disposition, cash receipts, and gross income from chickens and eggs; poultry and egg re-ceipts at principal markets; commercial broiler production; turkey production, disposition, and gross income; poultry and eggs under Federal inspection; and the National Poultry Improvement Plan. Esti-mates relating to inventories, production, and income exclude poultry and eggs produced on places not classified as farms.

1 Over this period, handler selected periodically not to pool substantial volumes of milk that normally would have been pooled under Federal orders. This decision resulted from disadvantageous blend/class price relationships and qualification circumstances. This fact should be kept in mind if year-to-year comparisons are made using the various ″producer deliv-eries″ measures of growth. 2 End of year. 3 Average for year. 4 Prices are weighted averages. 5 Based on blend (uni-form) price adjusted for butterfat content, and in later years, other milk components of producer milk.

For those orders that use the skim milk/butterfat pricing system for paying producers (orders 5, 6, 7, and 131), the figures are the uniform price (the sum of the uniform butterfat price times 3.5 and the uniform skim milk price times 0.965). 3 Suffolk Co.
