# CME: US Broiler Production Forecast Adjusted Down to 0.3%
						 | The Poultry Site

> Steiner Consulting's commentary says USDA cut its 2017 US broiler production forecast to 41.04 billion pounds, 0.3 percent below earlier expectations. Chicken demand has been robust, with prices higher year over year despite larger supplies. Productivity appears to be slowing, possibly tied to no-antibiotics-ever production.

## Why it matters

A smaller broiler output forecast supports chicken prices and tightens the outlook for poultry feed demand. Slower productivity growth could limit how quickly supply expands.
