History of Coccidiosis Control A Golden Age of Chemotherapy The 'Golden Age of Chemotherapy' in the control of coccidiosis is not over, according to Dr David Chapman of the University of Arkansas, Jackie Linden, senior editor of ThePoultrySite Site, reports on this keynote address.
shown to be an effective treatment against the causative parasite, Eimeria, although it was often administered too late. Being rather toxic to birds, it could only be used for short periods, of three days on and two days off.
In 1948, Poultry Science published a paper on sulphaquinoxaline for the control of coccidiosis.This was to have profound implications for the industry because we still use this type of method of control today, said Dr H. David Chapman of the University of Arkansas in the introduction to his paper on coccidiosis control from 1950 to the present day as the Milton Y. Dendy Keynote Address to the International Poultry Scientific Forum in Atlanta in January 2011. Dr Chapman has been working on coccidiosis himself for more than 40 years and his knowledge of the subject is universally recognised.
John P. Delaplane and Leland Grumbles were the pioneers in this field, working initially in Rhode Island and later at Texas A&M University, as well as jointly founding the American Association of Avian Pathologists.
First Breakthrough in Coccidiosis Control Before World War 2, the sulphonamides were known to be effective against bacteria, Dr Chapman said, and already in 1939, sulphonamide was
Even at the time, there were some objections to the long-term use of medications to control coccidiosis. The 1939 paper offered one important insight, said Dr Chapman, which was that sulphaquinoxaline did not prevent the acquisition of immunity to Eimeria. The low concentration controlled coccidiosis, while allowing enough parasitic development to stimulate immunity. Already at that time, the importance of immune development was recognised, he stressed. Continued on page 4 1

Editorial Welcome to ThePoultrySite Digital Issue 3
A History of Controlling Coccidiosis Sulphonamides have been treating bacteria for more than 70 years and their use in the form of sulphaquinoxaline to control Coccidiosis was first reported in Poultry Science in 1948.
The highly contagious respiratory tract infection of chickens can cause huge losses to poultry farmers through loss of flock performance, deaths and decreased egg production.
This, according to Dr David Chapman of the University of Arkansas in his keynote address to the International Poultry Science Forum in Atlanta, reviewing the history of treatment and control of coccidiosis, was to have profound implications for the treatment of the condition.
Dr James S. Guy and Isabel M. Gimeno and Melissa West of the College of Veterinary Medicine of the North Carolina State University examined recombinant Laryngotracheitis vaccines - based on recombinant DNA technology – to discover if they provide opportunities for improved control procedures and how effective they are in preventing the symptoms.
Dr Chapman outlined the Golden Age of Chemotherapy for the control of the disease with the explosion of drug discoveries through the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s and stressed the importance that communication about the disease had had in its control with the introduction of a lesion scoring system and methods of assessing efficacy that were laid down in 1970.
This week, all eyes have turned to Asia as VIV Asia opens its doors in Bangkok. Technology is expected to be one of the major highlights at the show, which takes place from 9 to 11 March 2011 at BITEC, Bangkok.
No new drugs have been developed against coccidiosis since 1990 but Dr Chapman in his review of the history of the treatment of the disease reported in this edition of ThePoultrySite Digital, sees rotation programmes involving the use of drugs and vaccines as the future for coccidiosis control.
The technology in focus is ranging from crop and feed technology to animal production and processing technology, covering the entire food chain under the show's 'from feed to meat' signature. Before the exhibition opened, the importance of hatching egg quality in poultry production was the main message from a seminar organised by Vencomatic.
And he concludes that the Golden Age of Chemotherapy is not over and that new ways of using drugs in coccidiosis control will be found in the future.
ThePoultrySite Senior Editor, Jackie Linden, reporting from Bangkok, said the seminar showed the importance of the quality of hatching eggs in the process of poultry meat production.
This edition of ThePoultrySite Digital that is focusing on poultry health and diseases also examines vaccines to protect against Laryngotracheitis.

Feature Article History of Coccidiosis Control - A Golden Age of Chemotherapy Continued from page 1
In 1949, the first conference on coccidiosis was held, half of the 22 papers being on chemotherapy. One key message to emerge was the need to prevent the build-up of infection in the litter. The 1950s, 1960s and 1970s were the heyday of synthetic drug discovery, said Dr Chapman. Many companies were involved, with Merck Sharp and Dohme (MSD) having an outstanding record of discovery in this field. Products developed included sulphaquinoxaline, nicarbazin and amprolium.
broad spectrum of activity against Eimeria species. They have unique mode of action with coccidiostatic and anticoccidial effects through inhibition of the intracellular stages of the life cycle in the gut.They work at low dose rates and have few, if any, side-effects.The disadvantages are that they have a high propensity to cause resistance and they prevent immune development so their market life tends to be short.
“ The 'Golden Age of Chemotherapy' in the control of coccidiosis is not over �
Drug discovery was being undertaken on a huge scale. Dr Charpman said that ICI alone screened 15,000 compounds for activity against Eimeria in just two years. From all this work, just one product received approval.
Importance of Communication Dr Chapman stressed that communication about the disease was important from the outset, and Professor Malcolm Reid made a great contribution by illustrating the life cycle of Eimeria and how drugs work on them. He also introduced a lesion scoring system and methods of assessing efficacy that have hardly changed since he first described them in 1970. No new drugs have been developed against coccidiosis since 1990, said Dr Chapman.
Newer Drugs and Their Mode of Action The characteristics of the later synthetic drugs can be characterised by their high efficacy and 4
The mode of action of these drugs is on cofactor synthesis. Sulphonamides and act Dr H. David Chapman potentiators University of Arkansas against the folic acid pathway, for example, preventing its formation by the microorganism. Drug combinations offer a 'double blockade' of the pathways but some, such as MSD's four-drug combination rapidly led to resistant strains developing. Eimeria has an extraordinary ability to adapt, said Dr Chapman. Amprolium uses another mode of action, namely, interruption of thiamine synthesis. It works by competitive inhibition of thiamin uptake by the schizont stage. Quinolones and clopidol, on the other hand, inhibit different components of the electron transport system but resistance to these chemicals also develops rapidly. However, Dr Chapman explained, the development of resistance to one of
he compounds made the Eimeria more sensitive to the other. Dr Chapman went on the explain that synthetic drugs such as nicarbazin were successful. It is a complex of two molecules, which gives it a unique mode of action to which resistance develops only slowly. They are also synergistic with ionophores. Disadvantages include increased mortality in heatstressed birds and some adverse effects on the reproductive cycle of adult birds. MSD successfully used novel biochemical pathways to target Eimeria with one of its products, nitrophenide, which targeted the mannitol pathway that occurs in Eimeria but not in poultry. Drug resistance was first described as early as 1954, according to Dr Chapman.
enters the cell.We still do not know why Eimeria are so susceptible, said Dr Chapman, but it is probably related to the cell membrane. There is also a new theory that monensin may block cell division in Eimeria or that it interferes with the ability of Eimeria to invade the host's cells. The commercial success of the ionophores has been extraordinary, said Dr Chapman, adding that more animals have received this class of drug than any other.This he attributed to the improvement in feed conversion, slow development of resistance and the large-scale field trials carried out by Elanco with its product, Coban.

Monensin - Breakthrough in the Control of Coccidiosis The second major landmark publication identified by Dr Chapman was on monensin in 1967 by Shumard and Callender.They described a new type of antibiotic produced by fermentation of Streptomyces, and coined the tern 'ionophore'.

Ionophores work on the life cycle stages in the gut lumen such as the sporozoites and merozoites. This is significant because this represents the earliest time to get at the parasite – prior to this, it is protected by the oocyst. As invasion is rapid, there is a need for the ionophore to be present in the gut all the time, which means that feed outages can lead to coccidiosis outbreaks. Ionophores work by increasing the activity of the sodium pump of the parasite's cells, which increases ATP utilisation and causes death as water

Feature Article History of Coccidiosis Control - A Golden Age of Chemotherapy Future Control of Coccidiosis Dr Chapman sees rotation programmes involving the use of drugs and vaccines as the future for coccidiosis control. The restoration of drug sensitivity following the use of a vaccine has been shown with amprolium in turkeys and monensin in chickens.Vaccination also allows re-population of the poultry house with sensitive strains of Eimeria. "This is the way forward," said Dr Chapman, adding that we must not forget the importance of good management to control disease, especially where birds are raised on the floor. He concluded that the Golden Age of Chemotherapy is not over, and that we will continue to find ways of using drugs in coccidiosis control in future. Jackie Linden ThePoultrySite.com Senior Editor

Effectiveness of Recombinant Laryngotracheitis Virus Vaccines Both recombinant vaccines (HVT-LT + FPV-LT) provided broilers with similar protection to conventional vaccines, according to Dr James S. Guy and Isabel M. Gimeno and Melissa West of the College of Veterinary Medicine of the North Carolina State University. Laryngotracheitis (LT) is a highly contagious, respiratory tract infection of chickens. The disease results in significant economic losses due to impaired flock performance, increased mortality and decreased egg production, explain Dr Guy and coauthors. In recent years, the disease has occurred with increased frequency, primarily in boiler chickens, despite increased usage of modified-live virus vaccines. Vaccines based on recombinant DNA technology recently have been developed for LT control. Recombinant LT vaccines provide opportunities for development of improved control procedures; however, little is known about their effectiveness. The purpose of the present study, according to the authors, was to evaluate the effectiveness of commercially available recombinant virus-vectored LT vaccines, and to determine whether these vaccines might be used in combination with CEO vaccines to prevent the adverse effects associated with CEO products. Recombinant LT virus vaccines (herpesvirus of turkeys-vectored [HVT-LT] and fowl pox virusvectored [FPV-LT]) were evaluated. Protective im8
munity produced by in-ovo vaccination with HVT-LT, FPV-LT and HVT-LT + FPV-LT was compared with immunity produced by conventional vaccination with TCO and CEO vaccines. Chickens vaccinated with recombinant vaccines (HVT-LT, FPV-LT), and challenged at 28 days of age with virulent LT virus, had partial protective immunity compared with chickens vaccinated with TCO and CEO vaccines. Challenged, virus vector-vaccinated chickens experienced mild respiratory disease of short duration, moderate tracheal lesions, post-challenge weight gain reduction and decreased duration of challenge virus isolation from trachea. Chickens vaccinated with both recombinant vaccines (HVT-LT + FPVLT) exhibited greater protection from virulent LT virus challenge, as indicated by absence of clinical signs and weight gain depression. In ovo-administered virus-vectored vaccines improved safety and effectiveness of subsequent CEO vaccination by decreasing the number of birds with detectable LT virus in trachea postCEO virus vaccination, compared with chickens vaccinated only with CEO virus. Dr Guy and co-authors conclude that these findings indicate effectiveness in-ovo administered, recombinant virus-vectored LT vaccines (HVTvectored and FPV-vectored) for prevention of disease in broiler chickens. This research was sponsored by the US Poultry & Egg Association.

Global Poultry Trends 2010 Asian Chicken Meat Production Trends With a growing human population and rising incomes, Asia is the region leading the growth in world chicken meat consumption, writes Terry Evans. Asian countries are leading the world economic recovery out of the recession providing a positive backdrop to the key drivers to boost the demand for chicken – population growth, rising disposable incomes, urbanisation and improved price competition against competitors. Although population growth is slowing, the global total continues to head towards 9.2 billion in 2050. Faster economic growth in the developing countries is lowering poverty rates enabling more people to buy meat. Cities, now home to almost half of the world's people, are growing rapidly in size and number such that by 2050, the world's urban population will have doubled to 6.4 billion. At the production level, continued improvements in the genetic development of the stock and also in management practices have meant that chicken has maintained its competitive position against red meats at retail level. Worldwide, chicken meat production represents around 86 per cent of poultry meat output, however, in Asia this figure is a little lower at around 85 per cent. But, in China it dips as low as 72 per cent because of the production of large quantities of duck and goose meat, the combined output of which is around five million tonnes a year. 10
After a recession-induced near stagnant production in 2009, global poultry meat output has been expected to recover by some three per cent or so in 2010 to an estimated 95 million tonnes. Of this, some 82 million tonnes will be chicken meat. Chicken meat production in Asia has been outpacing the global average such that in 2010, it is estimated that output will come close to 29 million tonnes out of a poultry meat total of some 34 million tonnes. Asian chicken meat output will represent about 35 per cent of the global total compared with around 32 per cent back in 2000 (Table 1). The figures presented from 2000 to 2008 have been abstracted from the Food and Agriculture Organisation's (FAO) data, with the exception of China, the most recent figures for which have been taken from a report from the Foreign Agricultural Service of the USDA.The 2010 estimates are based in production trends in recent years. At the outset, it should be appreciated that data often differ depending on the source. Hence, the most important aspect of any series is the trend rather than the absolute levels shown. This point is underlined by the likelihood that the margin of error for individual figures can vary as widely as plus or minus 20 per cent in poor developing countries to five per cent even in developed economies.

Global Poultry Trends 2010 Asian Chicken Meat Production Trends As is clear from tables 1 and 2, China is easily the leading producing nation in the region accounting for around 44 per cent of total output. However, this country's share has actually declined since 2000 - when it stood at 48 per cent – as other countries in the region have expanded production more rapidly. For example, while China's output looks to have risen by almost 39 per cent during the current decade to an estimated 12.6 million tonnes in 2010, the corresponding figures for India, the region's second largest producer, reveal a much

more dramatic expansion of 145 per cent with production currently around 2.7 million tonnes. Apart from India, other Asian countries with sizeable annual chicken meat output, recording faster industry growth than China are Myanmar, Pakistan, Iran, Indonesia, the Yemen, Bangladesh, Turkey, Israel and the Republic of Korea. Additionally, there are a number of countries in the region producing relatively small quantities of chicken meat that have made gains, well above the world average of 39 per cent for the decade or 3.3 per cent a year. While table chickens in this region vary greatly in size at killing age from around 800g (eviscerated weight) to 2kg, the overall average for the region of just under 1.3kg is below the global figure of 1.5kg. Hence, while Asia may account for some 40 per cent of all chickens slaughtered, the yield of chicken meat represents a smaller percentage of the world total at around 35 per cent.
Of the 47 countries just eight, each producing around, or more than, a million tonnes a year, account for some 23 million tonnes or nearly 80 per cent of the regional total. All of these, with the exception of Japan, are exhibiting positive growth. A universal characteristic of the chicken business has been the growth of large integrated companies. However, in order to maintain expansion a number of these have become global poultry enterprises. In particular, has been the establishment of American operations in Asia and especially China, while within the region,Thai and Japanese

Global Poultry Trends 2010 Asian Chicken Meat Production Trends companies are now operating outside their national borders. Looking to 2019, the US Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) expects China's chicken meat output to exceed 15.6 million tonnes. This is not surprising considering that China is encouraging foreign investment through joint ventures in large-scale operations which are accounting for an increasing share of national production at the expense of village or back-yard production. By the end of the next decade, output in India will likely come close to 3.25 million tonnes. Thailand's industry, which took a massive knock as a result of the outbreaks of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus in 2004, has since recovered and now the annual output has climbed back to 2000 levels, while the FAPRI forecast for 2019 currently stands at 1.6 million tonnes. No expansion is foreseen for Japan and indeed some contraction could occur in the face of keen competition from imports such that production towards the end of the next decade may fail to exceed 1.25 million tonnes. Underlying Iran's confidence in its industry has been the inauguration earlier this year of what is claimed to be the largest poultry slaughterhouse in the Middle East. Turkey's industry is also optimistic about continued expansion to a possible 2.8 million tonnes in the next decade. However, the fact that producers are now coping with higher feed costs and a regulation that prohibits the use of genetically mod-
