66 Livestock Slaughter 2015 Summary (April 2016) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Statistical Methodology

Data Sources: Primary data for the Livestock Slaughter publication are obtained from electronic reports completed by

inspectors from the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), USDA, which provide daily counts of animals slaughtered

in Federally Inspected (FI) plants, in addition to total live and dressed weights. These counts are combined with data from

State-administered Non-Federally Inspected (NFI) slaughter plants to derive total commercial slaughter estimates.

There are approximately 800 livestock slaughter plants in the United States operating under Federal Inspection and about

1,900 Non-Federally Inspected (State-inspected or custom-exempt) slaughter plants. Slaughter from State-inspected

Talmedge-Aiken plants is included in FI totals (see Terms and Definitions, page 67). To prevent duplication in reporting

between FI and NFI plants and assure all FI plants are included, certificates prepared by FSIS identifying operating status

are constantly monitored.

Revision Policy: Number of head slaughtered, live weights, and dressed weights are subject to revision the following

month after the monthly release. Annual totals are published in the slaughter summary each April which includes any

revisions made to current and previous year’s published data. Revisions are generally the result of late reports received

from slaughter plants and are usually less than one-half of one percent. No revisions will be made to the previous year’s

data after the publication of the annual summary in April. Only previous year annual totals are published in the annual

summary. Monthly data is available in Quick Stats for the previous year.

Procedures and Reliability: The livestock slaughter data is obtained electronically on a daily basis and summarized

approximately two weeks after the week of slaughter. A computer program compares each plant's data with the historical

data for that plant. Data are checked for unusual values for head kill, patterns of kill, average weights, and dressing

percent, based on each plant's past operating profile. In addition, the computer program provides a listing of missing

reports for follow-up contact with FSIS. Average live and dressed weights and dressing percentages by State are

compared with the previous weeks as an additional check. Fluctuations are frequently the result of plants permanently or

temporarily closing and a shift in the species reported.

The FSIS District Veterinary Medical Specialists (DVMS) are contacted by e-mail or telephone for missing or potentially

erroneous slaughter data. This assures that plants slaughtering a large number of head or several species are accounted for

each week. Any corrections FSIS makes to the slaughter data are included in the summary.

Computer imputation may be necessary for incomplete reports. The imputation of live and dressed weights is based on the

current week reported data of plants of similar size and location. Imputation for live and dressed weight data for cattle and

hogs is less than 10 percent and 7 percent, respectively. The imputation for calves and sheep is more frequent and

variable. If no data is received electronically or by other means, for plants slaughtering fewer than 50 total head weekly

of only one species, data are imputed. The imputation of head for any plant is based on the historical data for that

particular plant. The imputation of head slaughtered is rare but when necessary, the imputed head kill for missing plants

usually is less than 1 percent of the United States head kill totals.

FI data are summarized weekly and accumulated to a monthly total for this release. These weekly totals are published by

USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) in Livestock, Meat, Wool Market News, Weekly Summary, and

statistics are also available on the NASS website. NFI data are summarized monthly only.

Livestock slaughter estimates are based on a census of operating plants and therefore, have no sampling error. However,

they may be subject to non-sampling errors such as omissions, duplications and mistakes in reporting, recording and

processing the data. These errors are minimized through rigid quality controls in the computer edit program and

summarization process, and a careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.

No data are published when an individual plant’s data could be divulged. If not published, as indicated with a (D), these

data are still included in United States and region totals. A review of the data is made annually to determine the

publishable data.

Livestock Slaughter 2015 Summary (April 2016) 67 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Terms and Definitions Used for Livestock Slaughter Estimates

Average Live Weight: The weight of the whole animal, before slaughter. Excludes post-mortem condemnations.

Commercial Production: Includes slaughter and meat production in federally inspected and other plants, but excludes

animals slaughtered on farms. Based on packers’ dressed weights.

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.

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: 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.

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.

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.

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.

Number of Head: Includes post-mortem condemnations.

Plant, Slaughter: An establishment where animals are killed and butchered.

Red Meat: Red meat production is the carcass weight after slaughter excluding condemnation and is comprised of beef,

veal, pork, and lamb and mutton. The FI red meat production is equal to the total carcass weight after slaughter. 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.

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.

Total Live Weight: The total weight of live animals, before slaughter. Excludes post-mortem condemnations.

Wholesome Meat Act: Legislation that specifies that all meat produced for sale in the United States must be inspected.

Meat that is transported interstate must be inspected in compliance with Federal (USDA) Standards.
