Hatchery: 7.2 TCR = 160% of Chicken hatcheries BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Hatchery safety composite

Hatchery scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 19%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
