Fewer Pigs Force Packers to Cut Shifts

2014-05-29 02:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News

US - Last week’s federally inspected (FI) slaughter total of 1.973 million head was 4.8% lower than one year ago. This level was slightly lower than was suggested by USDA’s March Hogs and Pigs Report, and slightly higher than my forecast based on that report and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) case accession data, writes Steve Meyer for the National Hog Farmer.
