Poultry Farms

U.S. poultry demand keeps climbing—chicken from 96.9 to 112.5 lbs per capita and eggs from 242 to 289 (2010–2019)—while farms face price swings, welfare expectations, and regulatory change. Meeting this requires agile operations that time chicks, broilers, and eggs to market demand with tight cost and risk control.

Poultry Demand & the Need for Agility

U.S. poultry consumption has risen steadily—chicken from 96.9 lbs per capita in 2010 to 112.5 lbs in 2019, and eggs from 242 to 289 per person—reflecting poultry’s perception as a versatile, healthy alternative to red meat. At the same time, farms face pricing volatility, evolving animal-welfare expectations, and regulatory shifts. Meeting these trends requires flexible operations that can time chicks, broilers, and eggs to market demand while controlling cost and risk.

Structured Poultry Management: Flocks, Houses & Systems

Modern poultry management systems organize live production around flocks (breeder, layer, broiler), each with distinct objectives. A unique flock ID anchors complete histories—inputs like grit and feed, light and temperature settings, egg production, and culling—while tying birds to specific houses that track energy, water, and equipment. Resources (feed, litter, lamps, guards, waterers, equipment) are inventoried in warehouses with reorder points; tasks reserve and record usage. Daily egg collection, cleaning, packing, and shipment link back to flocks, and ERP financials connect purchasing, resource application, and sales to provide clear profitability and yield by flock and period.

 
 

Poultry Farm Industry Solutions for Improved Operations

Adroit helps poultry operations align poultry-specific ERP with supply chain planning to build an integrated S&OP/IBP plan—linking accurate forecasts, flock/egg capacities, inventory, and financial metrics. We replace spreadsheets with governed online workflows; surface production insights (yield losses, bottlenecks, downtime) and trends across flocks/houses to tune feed, lighting, and husbandry; and improve flock tracking with targeted data capture. By digitizing audit-ready traceability and embedding document control for food-safety schemes—plus migrating recipes and formulas into the system—you regain control of costs, yields, production, and inventory.
