Book excerpt: Excerpt from Changes in Ers Broiler Production and Marketing Cost Series to Reflect Product Forms in the 12-City Composite Price Report Branded products represented about 7 percent of the loads reported in the 12-city composite price in early 1983. Production costs for these broilers usually include an allowance for pigmentation additives in the feed ration. Marketing costs include expenditures for advertising. Additional costs of producing and marketing branded products were estimated at about cents per rtc (ready-to-cook) pound. The estimated average premium for branded products was cents per rtc pound. Wogs (whole birds without giblets) represented about 19 percent of the loads reported in the lz-city composite price in early 1983. Most wogs are slaughtered at an average liveweight about 10 percent less than that of broilers represented by the basic formulas. Production costs include less feed use and increased chick cost per pound of broiler produced. Marketing costs include increased processing cost per pound of broiler and loss of income from giblets and necks sold at parts prices. Additional cost of producing and selling wogs was estimated at about cents per rtc pound. The average premium for wogs was cents per rtc pound. Chill-pack broilers represented about 16 percent of the loads reported in the 12-city composite price in early 1983. For these broilers, the percentage yield used to convert production costs from live to rtc basis is lower than that in the basic formulas. Chill-pack broilers are likely to have less than average moisture pickup during chilling. There is also a net decrease in marketing cost accounted for by extra processing plant cost for a chilling system, offset by decreased costs for ice and product delivery. Additional cost of producing and marketing chill - pack broilers was estimated at about cent per rtc pound. The estimated average premium for chill - pack broilers was cents per rtc pound. The average 12-city composite price in early 1983 was about cents per rtc pound of broiler higher than the average nine - city price. Average cost of the product mix reported in the lz - city composite price was estimated as cent higher than the previous average cost. Composite costs and lz-city composite prices in the ers cost-returns series provide a more accurate barometer of economic conditions in the broiler industry than did costs and returns estimated on the basis of the nine-city price.
