The poultry industry in the former Soviet republic of Georgia performed well in the first nine months of 2009. Egg production during the period totaled 350 million, compared with 340 million in the same period in 2008.
This increase in egg production was achieved in spite of a decline in the number of poultry to 8.86 million on Oct. 1, 2009, compared with 8.98 million on the same date in 2008. This suggests an increase in egg productivity per hen.
The figures for 2009 are preliminary ones. In 2008, Georgia produced 441 million eggs, compared with 438 million in 2007.
The number of pigs in Georgia on Oct. 1, 2009, was 155,000, compared with 160,000 on the same date in 2008.
