USDA's December Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook shows US broiler production in October rose 4.8% year over year to 4.096 billion pounds. The agency expects expanded output into 2020, with the fourth-quarter broiler forecast raised to 11.125 billion pounds, helped by reopened Chinese demand for US chicken.
Rising broiler and layer output increases demand for feed grains and meals over the coming year. Expansion plans and China's reopened market support bullish feed demand, though weak chicken prices temper the outlook.
