                   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 State-administered 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 1,100 plants in the U.S. are operated under Federal Inspection    
and 3,000 plants under State inspection. Slaughter from State-inspected         
Talmedge-Aiken plants is included in FI totals (see Types of Plants, page 97).  
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 this release.             
                                                                                
                                                                                
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 followup 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.                 
                                                                                
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.                                 
                                                                                
A ".0" in any table indicates there were positive head data but less than the   
ronding required for that table.                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
                          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 custom-exempt 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 1.547 head per 100     
head for calves, .359 per 100 for cattle, .336 per 100 for hogs and .500 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.
