She flagged the shift to cage-free egg production, with six states mandating it and more coming, as a future supply risk, and noted broiler productivity is at record lows with hatchability near 79%.
Lower feed costs support broiler margins, but poor productivity and cage-free egg transitions could tighten egg and poultry supply and lift prices.
