Egg inventory management with flock factors

Abstract

Egg inventory management is critical for the poultry industry. For accurate egg inventory management, accurate projections of layer flock performance are necessary. This study found that there are some pullet flock factors that correlate with adjusted egg production percentage, which may assist in developing an accurate egg production projection system. Previous research has not included how to predict base off of early flock performance indicators. This approach will allow for more accurate projections and better egg inventory management. Due to the size of the sample utilized for this study, it is recommended that further study is conducted to verify findings.
