Reliability of Livestock Slaughter Estimates
Data Sources: Primary data for the commercial livestock slaughter estimates 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. More than 95 percent of
the total U.S. slaughter for any species is under Federal Inspection.
There are approximately 800 livestock slaughter plants in the U.S. operating under Federal Inspection
and over 2,000 Non-Federally Inspected (State-inspected or custom-exempt) slaughter plants. Slaughter
from State-inspected Talmedge-Aiken plants is included in FI totals (see Types of Plants, page 69). 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 March 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 March.
Procedures and Reliability: The livestock slaughter data is obtained electronically on a daily basis and
summarized approximately two weeks after the week of slaughter. An edit 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 edit
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.
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 U.S. 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 and 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 errors such as omissions, duplications and mistakes in reporting,
recording and processing the data. These errors are minimized through rigid quality controls in the edit
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, these data are
still included in U.S. and region totals. A review of the data is made annually to determine the
publishable data.
Types of Livestock Slaughter Plants
There are generally four types of slaughtering plants.
(1)
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.
(2)
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.
(3)
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.
(4)
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.
Terms and Definitions Used for Livestock Slaughter Estimates
Average Live Wight: Excludes post-mortem condemnations.
Commercial Production: Includes slaughter and meat production in federally inspected and other
plants, but excludes animals slaughtered on farms.
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.
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.

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.
Total Live Weight: Excludes post-mortem condemnations.
Wholesome Meat Act: Legislation that specifies that all meat produced for sale in the U.S. must be
inspected. Meat that is transported interstate must be inspected in compliance with Federal (USDA)
Standards.
