This statistic depicts chicken meat production worldwide from 2012 to 2025. In 2024, the world's broiler meat production amounted to about 103.7 million metric tons, and is forecasted to increase to about 105.8 million metric tons by 2025.

How many chickens are in the world? The number of chickens worldwide has more than doubled since 1990. In 2023, there were some ***** billion chickens in the world, up from about **** billion chickens in 2000. Chicken farming There are two major types of chickens that are farmed globally: egg laying hens, and broiler chickens. As the names suggest, one produces eggs and the other is raised for meat. In terms of egg production, China produced the highest number of eggs in 2022, at an amazing *** billion. In contrast, the second leading producer, Indonesia, only produced about *** billion eggs in that year. The United States ranked fourth that year in terms of worldwide egg production. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. state with the largest chicken population is Iowa. Broiler meat production In the last several years, poultry has overtaken pork as the most produced type of meat worldwide. The United States has the highest volume of broiler meat production of any country, at around **** million metric tons in 2023. Brazil and China came in second and third in terms of broiler meat production, at **** million and **** million metric tons, respectively.

Defining the baseline bacterial microbiome is critical towards understanding its relationship with health and disease. In broiler chickens, numerous studies have aimed at defining the core microbiome, yet the core and its possible relationships with health and disease have been difficult to define due to lack of study power. Here, the most comprehensive microbiome-based effort to date in commercial broilers was undertaken. The primary goals of this study included understanding what constitutes core in the broiler gastrointestinal, respiratory, and barn environments; how these core players change across age, geography, and time; and which bacterial taxa correlate with enhanced bird performance in antibiotic-free flocks. Using 2,309 samples from 37 different commercial flocks within a vertically integrated broiler system, and metadata from 549 flocks within that system, the baseline bacterial microbiome was defined. The effects of age, sample type, flock, and successive flock cycles were compared, and results indicate a consistent, predictable, age-dependent bacterial microbiome, irrespective of flock. The tracheal bacterial microbiome of broilers was comprehensively defined for the first time, and interestingly, Lactobacillus was the dominant bacterial taxa in the trachea. Numerous bacterial taxa were identified which were strongly correlated with broiler chicken performance, across multiple tissues. While many positively correlated taxa were identified representing targets for future probiotic development, many negatively associated potential pathogens were identified in the absence of clinical disease, indicating subclinical dynamics occurring that impact performance. Overall, this work provides necessary baseline data for the development of effective antibiotic alternatives for sustainable poultry production. This dataset includes forward and reverse raw sequencing reads for 2,309 broiler chicken gut, respiratory, and litter samples surveyed using 16S amplicon profiling.
