Animal proteins were mostly unchanged for the day. Supportive tones continue to be communicated from market sources due to lightened slaughter and active demand. 

For week ending March 23, broiler slaughter is anticipated to be 164.127 million head, half a percent down from 2023 for the respective week and the previous week, individually. Over the next six weeks, broiler slaughter is projected to average 163.276 million head per week, 1.0 percent lower than 2023. (Fig. 1)
