Livestock Slaughter Estimates

Data Sources: Primary data for the commercial livestock slaughter estimates are obtained from

the Weekly Livestock Slaughter Report (LS-149) questionnaires completed by inspectors

from the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), USDA, which provide actual counts of

animals slaughtered in Federally Inspected (FI) plants. These counts are combined with data

from Stateadministered Non-Federally Inspected (NFI) slaughter plants to derive total commercial

slaughter estimates. Over 95 percent of the total U.S. slaughter for any species is under FI. 

The LS-149 forms collect number of head slaughtered daily under FI by species and class as

well as head kill after condemnation and total live and dressed weights. 

Approximately 1,000 plants in the U.S. are operated under Federal Inspection and 2,400 plants

under State inspection. Slaughter from State-inspected Talmedge-Aiken plants is included in FI

totals (see Types of Plants, page 22). To prevent duplication in reporting between NFI and FI

plants and assure all FI plants are included, certificates prepared by FSIS identifying operating

status are constantly monitored.

Revision Policy: Revisions are generally the result of late or corrected data and are less than

one-half of 1 percent. Revisions for the previous month and the year-to-date totals are noted in

each monthly release by an (*) or a footnote. Final data are published in the annual summary.

Procedures and Reliability: Individual inspectors may be contacted by telephone if the

Weekly Livestock Slaughter Report questionnaire is not received by NASS in time for

summarization. This assures that all plants slaughtering a large number of head or several

species are accounted for each week.

All head kill data are tabulated on a weekly basis approximately two weeks after the kill week. 

A computer edit compares each plant's data with the historical data for that plant. The edit

provides a missing reports listing for follow-up telephone contact and imputes missing weight

data. In addition, data are checked for unusual values for species, class, head kill, and pattern of

kill generally, based on each plant's past operating profile.

Usually, if no form is received by mail, data for plants slaughtering fewer than 50 total head

weekly of only one species are imputed. Imputation of live and dressed weight data may also

be necessary on partially completed forms for any plant. The imputation is also based on the

data history of each respective plant and represents the recent operating characteristics until

final data are tabulated. Imputed head kill for missing plants usually is less than 1 percent of

the U.S. head kill totals. Imputation for live and dressed weight data for cattle is about 15

percent and for hogs about 10 percent. The imputation for calves and sheep is more frequent

and variable.

Head kill for FI slaughter before condemnation is for the actual days of the survey month, while

head kill after condemnation and live and dressed weight data are for full weeks only. Average

live and dressed weight and dressing percentages by State are compared with the previous week

as an additional check. Fluctuations are frequently the result of plants permanently or

temporarily closing and a shift in the kind of animal reported.
Livestock Slaughter 1998 Summary Agricultural Statistics Board

March 1999 98 NASS, USDA

FI data are summarized weekly and accumulated to a monthly total for this release, while NFI

data are summarized monthly only. These weekly totals are published by USDA's Agricultural

Marketing Service (AMS) in Livestock, Meat, Wool Market News, Weekly Summary, and

Statistics.

Livestock slaughter estimates are based on a census of operating plants, and, therefore, have no

sampling error. However, they may be subject to errors such as omissions, duplications and

mistakes in reporting, recording and processing the data. These errors are minimized through

rigid quality controls in the edit and summarization process, and a careful review of all reported

data for consistency and reasonableness.

Generally, no data are published if less than three plants operate for a species in a State or if one

plant has 60 percent or more of the total commercial slaughter for a species. These data are

included in U.S. totals. A review of the reported data is made annually.

Types of Plants

There are generally four types of slaughtering plants.

(1) Federally Inspected (FI) Plants: Plants that transport meat interstate must employ

federal inspectors to assure compliance with USDA standards. Any State whose

commercial plants operate entirely under federal inspection may still have customexempt establishments for which NFI estimates are made.

(2) Talmedge-Aiken (TA) Plants: Slaughter plants in which USDA is responsible for

inspection. However, federal inspection is carried out by State employees. These

plants are considered to be federally inspected.

(3) Non-Federally Inspected (NFI) Plants: Plants which sell and transport only

intrastate. State inspectors assure compliance with individual State standards for these

NFI plants. Mobile slaughtering units are excluded and are considered farm slaughter.

(4) Custom-Exempt Plants: Plants that do not sell meat but operate on a custom basis

only are custom-exempt. The animals and meat are not inspected, but the facilities

must meet health standards. These are considered NFI plants and head kill is included

in NFI totals.

Terms and Definitions

Commercial Production: Includes slaughter and meat production in federally inspected and

other plants, but excludes animals slaughtered on farms.

Dressed Weight: The weight of a chilled animal carcass. Beef with kidney knob in; veal with

hide off; lamb and mutton with pluck out; pork with leaf fat and kidneys out, jowls on and head

off.

Dressing Percent: Is usually expressed as a percentage yield of chilled carcass in relation to

the weight of the live animal on hoof. For example, a live hog that weighed 200 pounds on

hoof and yielded a carcass weighing 140 pounds would have a dressing percentage of 70.

Food and Meat Inspection: Includes examination, checking, or testing of a carcass and/or

meat against established government standards and involves checking the facility for

cleanliness, health of animals, or parts of animals and quality of the meat produced.

Live Weight: The gross weight of a live animal when received at the slaughter plant.

Plant, Slaughter: An establishment where animals are killed and butchered.

Red Meat: Red meat production is the carcass weight after slaughter including beef, veal,

pork, and lamb and mutton. It is derived using the number of head times average dressed

weight for FI and NFI separately. FI head kill must be adjusted for condemnations using the

factor derived from the FSIS inspection reports.

The FI meat production formula is (FI head kill) X (1 - condemnation factor) X (average

dressed weight) = FI red meat production. The condemnation factor is the number of animals

condemned as a percentage of the total kill. It has been fairly stable for the last ten years;

running about 1.75 head per 100 head for calves, .49 per 100 for cattle, .32 per 100 for hogs and

.28 per 100 for sheep. The NFI meat production formula is (NFI head kill) X (live weight) X

(FI dressing percentage) = NFI red meat production.

Slaughter: Killing and butchering of animals primarily for food.

Slaughter, Farm: Animals slaughtered on farms primarily for home consumption. Excludes

custom slaughter for farmers at commercial establishments, but includes mobile slaughtering on

farms. These estimates appear only in the annual slaughter release.

Wholesome Meat Act: Legislation that specifies that all meat produced for sale in the U.S.

must be inspected; and further, meat that is transported interstate must be inspected in

compliance with federal (USDA) standards.
