What is NAICS 112340
NAICS code 112340 covers establishments primarily engaged in hatching poultry of any kind, including chickens, turkeys, ducks, and other domesticated birds. This industry plays a critical role in the poultry supply chain by producing day-old chicks that are sold to broiler and layer farms for meat and egg production.

Such contracts may include supplying poultry stock for research, restoration of endangered poultry breeds, or replenishing national reserves. The hatchery industry’s ability to provide consistent and high-quality poultry stock is essential for maintaining stable poultry production and supporting rural economies.
