Abstract
We discuss, in qualitative and quantitative fashion, the yields of hadron resonances. We show that these yields, in general, are not in chemical equilibrium. We evaluate the non-equilibrium abundances in a dynamic model implementing the resonance formation reactions. Due to the strength of these reactions, we show the enhancement, and the suppression explicitly.
