This monthly publication includes the number of chicks placed and eggs set by United Kingdom hatcheries. The number of birds placed each month shown below give an indication of future poultry meat and egg production. The number of eggs set each month indicates how many birds will be available for placing in future months.

It also includes statistics on the number of poultry slaughtered, average live weights of poultry and poultry meat production in the United Kingdom.

The editions of the slaughterings, weight and production datasets are now merged into one document for greater transparency.

Defra’s air quality grant scheme provides funding to eligible local authorities to help improve air quality.

The scheme helps local authorities to make air quality improvements and to meet their statutory duties under the Environment Act 1995. It has awarded over £57 million in funding to a variety of projects since it started in 1997.

Any queries should be sent to air.quality@defra.gsi.gov.uk.

Information on who was awarded grants in 2015 to 2016 is now available on the National Archives website.

Air quality grant 2018 to 2019

Local authorities in England can now apply for the air quality grant scheme 2018 to 2019. Applications must be received by midday on 30 November 2018.

In particular, we’re looking for applications on projects designed to support:

• local authorities to develop and/or implement measures to improve local air quality
• innovation through trialling of low cost sensors

The grant will be competitive and will award at least £3 million to English local authorities that have one or more Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs).

This publication gives quarterly information on egg production, usage and prices. This includes UK egg packing station throughput by country and egg production system (intensive, barn, free range, organic) and prices paid by UK egg packers to producers. The information about egg usage includes the number of eggs bought by UK egg processors and the quantity of egg products they produce. Monthly information about trade in eggs and egg products is also included.

This monthly publication gives UK statistics on the slaughter of cattle, sheep and pigs, dressed carcase weights and meat production. Additional information is provided each quarter on UK meat supplies (ie production adjusted for overseas trade).

With effect from February 2016 the statistics published in this notice are based on calendar rather than statistical months. This change simplifies our survey processes and brings our slaughter survey in line with our milk surveys which are already run on a calendar month basis, it also removes the need for the 53 week year (which would have to be 2016). Since the end of weekly slaughter survey several years ago, there is no legislative requirement for weekly data, so since then we have derived the average weekly throughput from the monthly survey data.

This notice replaces the notice published at 9.30am on the 11th October and contains large revisions to previously published sheep data.

January 2016 data includes the last week of December 2015 and is therefore classed as a 5 week month. 1st February 2016 onwards the statistics are based on calendar months.
