POULTRY PRODUCTION

  • Poultry production includes chicken, duck, chicken egg and duck egg production.
  • From 2015 to 2019, highest poultry production was reported in 2015 at 12,923 metric tons (Figure 1) while the lowest was in 2019 at 12,137 metric tons.
  • Total poultry production went down in 2019 as compared to 2018 (Figure 1) which was largely attributed to the decrease in broiler production due to shifting to layer farm operation of two large broiler farms in Ifugao.
