World Egg Production Sets a Record Despite Slower Growth World egg production will likely reach a record 65.5 million tonnes in 2013 despite the rate of growth having slowed, writes Terry Evans, industry watcher. Twenty per cent of all eggs are produced in the Americas. Between 2000 and 2010, global egg output expanded
by more than two per cent a year from 51 million tonnes to 63.8 million tonnes (Table 1). However since then, the annual increase appears to have barely averaged one per cent and bearing in mind the continued pressure on production costs and on consumer purse-strings, it seems likely that future growth will be nearer one than two per cent.

Editorial First and foremost, we hope you had a happy New Year and that 2013 started well for you. As the New Year comes round, thoughts turn to one of the leading events in the global poultry calendar, namely the ‘Atlanta Poultry Show’. The trade show and conference this year will be bigger than ever as the annual American Meat Institute event joins forces for the first time with the International Poultry Expo. The result is the three-day International Production and Processing Expo - IPPE 2013 – which will encompass a major exhibition and education sessions on a wide range of topics covering poultry meat and egg production and processing of all meats.
IPPE Special
IPPE 2013 takes place on 29 to 31 January in the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, US.For those planning to attend the show, please feel free to Jackie Linden come by the 5m Publishing stand, A573, and meet the team at ThePoultrySite and ThePoultrySite.com Senior Editor its Spanish language sister web site, El Sitio Avicola. jackie.linden@5mpublishing.com
This issue of ThePoultrySite Digital offers a guide to visitors to IPPE 2013, giving a flavour of the educational programmes on offer in addition to more than 1,100 exhibits. In addition, we have the latest analysis of the worldwide industry in our series, Global Poultry Trends, with a look at the shell egg industry in the Americas.The region accounts for around 20 per cent of global egg production. The US stands well clear at the top of the egg production league table but the recent growth in output in Mexico, Columbia and Argentina are well ahead of the global average of two per cent annually over the decade from 2000 to 2010.

World Egg Production Sets a Record Despite Slower Growth Continued from page 1
Globally, it is considered that hatching eggs represent about five per cent of the total although for individual countries, the proportion of hatching eggs varies greatly depending on the size of the meat chicken industry.Consequently, in some instances, the proportion of hatching eggs in the total will be small but, at the other extreme – for example, in the US and Brazil where hatching eggs represent between 12 per cent and 15 per cent of total egg output, respectively. Annual rates of growth vary between the regions (Table 1 and Figure 1). While the increase worldwide between 2000 and 2010 averaged 2.3 per cent a year, Africa recorded an average annual expansion of 3.7 per cent. Asia managed an annual growth of 2.6 per cent, while the Americas and Oceania each notched up an increase of a shade over two per cent. Expansion was slowest in Europe with a gain of only 1.1 per cent a year. As a result of these differences, Africa managed to increase its share of the global total from 3.8 per
cent to 4.3 per cent. The contribution from the Americas has eased back a little from 20.4 per cent to 20.1 per cent, while Asia has increased its share from 56.9 per cent to 58.7 per cent.Europe's share contracted from 18.6 per cent to 16.5 per cent. If hatching eggs were deducted from the output figures, the percentages would change a little but it would not alter the general view of an increase in production and market share in Asia and Africa, stagnant growth at best in the Americas and a reduction in Europe. With regard to layer numbers, the Food and Agriculture (FAO) estimates that in 2010 there were almost 6,556 million layers worldwide, of which, 509 million were in Africa, 1,053 million in the Americas, 4,211 million in Asia, 765 million in Europe and some 18 million in Oceania. THE AMERICAS PRODUCES ONE-FIFTH OF ALL EGGS The region of the Americas produces almost 20 per cent of all eggs. However, industry growth since 2005 has not matched that achieved in Asia hence the

Americas' share of the global total has slipped a little from 20.7 per cent in 2005 to an estimated 19.9 per cent in 2012. As in all the regions, only a handful of countries account for the bulk of production. In the Americas in 2010, just five countries – the US, Mexico, Brazil, Columbia and Argentina – produced some 10.8 million tonnes of eggs or 84 per cent of the regional total (Tables 2 and 3) although as mentioned earlier, in both the US and Brazil, a significant proportion of the total will be hatching eggs for the table chicken industry. Growth rates within the region show marked differences. In the US, the leading producer by far, production between 2000 and 2010 increased by less than one per cent a year in contrast to gains of between 2.6 per cent and 2.9 per cent in Brazil and Mexico. The industries in the next two countries in the production league table, Columbia and Argentina, expanded by some 4.7 per cent and 4.4 per cent a year respectively. So, while Mexico, Brazil, Columbia and Argentina increased their shares of the regional total, the USA's contribution actually declined from 48 per cent to almost 42 per cent between 2000 and 2010. Canada's egg industry has expanded by about 1.5 per cent a year. Production in Peru actually increased by almost six per cent a year but from a low base of just over 160,000 tonnes in 2000 (Table 2). Egg production in the US is expressed in millions of dozens, the total having risen from 7,630 million dozen in 2010 to 7,655 million dozen in 2011, with the latest estimate for 2012 at 7,700 million dozen but forecast for 2013 points to a fall of one per cent to around 7,610 million dozen. Hatching eggs represent around 12 per cent of these totals. In volume
terms, the quantity of table eggs produced is around 4.7 and 4.8 million tonnes, with some 93 per cent being considered to be white-shelled eggs. The five largest egg producing States - Iowa (with 52.3 million layers), Ohio (26.9 million), Pennsylvania (24.4 million), Indiana (22.8 million) and California (18.9 million) represent around 50 per cent of all US layers. Currently some 87 per cent of total production is in the hands of 61 companies, each owning more than one million birds, 16 of which have over five million. Some 94 per cent of output comes from conventional cages but an agreement between United Egg Producers (who represent some 80 per cent of US egg production) and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) will result in the industry moving from what is primarily a conventional cage production business to enriched colony housing giving 124 square inches or 800 square centimetres per white layer and 144 square inches or 929 square centimetres for brown-egg birds by the end of 2029. According to Maro Ibarburu-Blanc, an economist at the Egg Industry Center, quoted in Egg Industry, the trend towards larger layer farms with in-line egg packing, and greater industry consolidation will continue as the move towards enriched colony production systems will increase both capital and feed costs. There will likely be a regional shift towards the southern States, as it is anticipated that supplemental heating may be required in houses in parts of the Midand north-west in winter to maintain the optimum temperature for bird performance, as bird density will be lower in the enriched colonies than in conventional cages.The view is that medium-sized farms with fewer than one million birds will either get bigger or

The egg industry in Mexico managed to expand by more than three per cent a year in the decade to 2010 during which time, annual output rose from 1.79 million tonnes to 2.48 million tonnes, according to the Union Nacional de Avicultores. In 2011, the gain was not quite as rapid at 2.5 per cent output rising to 2.54 million tonnes, despite higher production costs. However, the Los Altos region of the Jalisco State was hit by an outbreak of H7N3 avian influenza in June 2012 that resulted in the loss of some 22 million layers, which represented some 15 per cent of the country's egg production. Jalisco produces 55 per cent of Mexico's table eggs, the majority coming from the Los Altos region, the only area affected by the outbreak. As a result, the upward trend in annual production will have been reversed in 2012 to less than 2.4 million tonnes. At the time of writing, a recovery was underway. The ratio of white to brown eggs is put at 95:5.

Although, according to the FAO, egg output in Brazil (commercial, plus backyard and hatching) is almost two million tonnes a year, possibly 15 per cent or more of the total are hatching eggs, which would put the estimate of table eggs at around 1.7 million tonnes. Egg consumption currently is some 8.5kg per person and year, which is below the average for the Americas. However, with a human population currently estimated at 200 million, even a tiny increase in uptake per person will require a significant increase in the quantity of eggs produced to meet the additional demand. As in most other countries, while the difficult financial climate will likely apply a brake to the rate of growth, the upward trend in output should continue.White-shelled eggs represent approximately 75 per cent of the total.

lumbia's industry was marginally the larger of the two. However, the opposite picture is indicated by more recent figures published by the International Egg Commission (IEC), which puts egg output in 2011 in Argentina at 721,000 tonnes compared with 640,000 tonnes in Columbia. But, the average egg weight in Argentina was assessed at 63.5g, despite the brown to white egg ratio being put at 42 to 58, while the average egg weight in Colombia was estimated to be just 60g. Should the average egg weight for Colombia be understated, Argentina would still have the edge but the difference between the two countries would be much closer.
While Canada might reasonably expect future growth to average more than one per cent a year, the gap between its output and that of the fifth-largest producer in the region, Peru, will continue to close, especially if Peru can maintain its much faster annual growth rate. While production in Peru is almost entirely brown-shelled, almost the opposite is true in Canada where the white to brown egg ratio is 90 to 10.
The long-term outlook for both these countries has to be for continued growth. Figure 2. Leading egg producers in the Americas (million tonnes)

IPPE SPECIAL GUIDE
Feature Article
Three Trade Shows Join for IPPE This year, the International Poultry Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia, will be celebrating its 65th edition – but it will be an exhibition that is taking on a new dimension. When the exposition opens its doors at the Georgia World Congress Center, the show will be larger than ever, as it has combined forces with the International Meat Expo and the International Feed Expo. The new exhibition and conference being staged by the three industry bodies – US Poultry and Egg Association (USPOULTRY), American Meat Institute (AMI) and the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) – are appearing under the umbrella name of the International Production and Processing Expo, IPPE. The three shows will operate under one structure, creating one of the 50 largest tradeshows in the United States. The entire tradeshow will have more than 1,100 exhibitors and will cover more than 420,000 square feet of exhibit space. “The response and excitement for the show has been overwhelming. We thought integrating the shows made sense, and the response has been even better than imagined. IPPE has instantaneously established itself as the premiere feed and protein event of the western hemisphere,” said John Starkey, president of USPOULTRY. “The 2013 IPPE will offer an outstanding venue for businesses to collaborate, network, learn about new products and services and solve common challenges facing the feed, poultry and meat industries.With the response so far, we expect attendees will agree that it is worth their time to come to Atlanta,” said Joel G. Newman, AFIA President and CEO.

Three Trade Shows Join for IPPE “We are gratified by the positive show of support from our supplier community. It tells us that our consolidation of shows is a winning formula for the entire industry, farm to fork,” commented AMI President, J. Patrick Boyle. All three associations will continue to operate independently, serving their respective constituents and will offer targeted education and networking opportunities that meet the customer needs and compliment the expo. The show is designed to provide an opportunity to see the latest developments and technology, get training and updates through the educational programmes and to network and meet people from all over the world to exchange experiences and ideas. This year will feature two networking receptions. On the opening day of the show (Tuesday, 29 January), there will be a reception from 4-6 pm on the floor of the show. On Wednesday, back by popular demand, there will be a reception at the Georgia Aquarium, the world’s largest enclosed aquarium.

INTERNATIONAL POULTRY EXPO CELEBRATES 65 YEARS The International Poultry Expo has grown from its beginnings as a poultry convention attended by 200 poultrymen in Atlanta in 1948 to its first exhibition in 1951 when it had 67 exhibiting companies and 2,000 visitors to the current pan-industry event that will be staged in Atlanta in January. From the beginning, USPOULTRY said its leaders recognised the importance of continuing education and technological advancements to keep up with the rapid changes occurring in the industry. This is demonstrated through the International Poultry Expo, the world’s largest gathering of industry leaders and the most comprehensive display of the latest technology, equipment, supplies and services used by poultry and egg companies. Over the years, the International Poultry Expo has expanded to incorporate other areas of related production and processing.
IPPE SPECIAL GUIDE In 2012, the exposition saw a host of visitors from overseas with more than 1,800 coming from Latin American countries – 45 per cent of the international presence at the show.

A further 17 per cent came from Canada, while 15 per cent came from Europe, 13 per cent from Asia and 10 per cent from Africa and the Middle East.
The programme provides education to further training in each person’s respective industry and will expose the recipients to the latest technology used in the industry.
In 2007, the American Feed Industry Association signed an agreement to join forces with USPOULTRY to bring the International Feed Expo together with the International Poultry Expo.
Selected applicants will receive a full, complimentary registration to IPPE that will allow them to attend all education programmes.
Now, the International Poultry Expo is expanding even further with the addition of American Meat Institute’s Worldwide Meat Expo.
FREE BUS SERVICE TO IPPE
The IPPE is expected to bring over 25,000 industry leaders from over 100 countries.

SUCCESSFUL ANTIBIOTIC-FREE (ABF) POULTRY PRODUCTION
US - ISA, global operating breeder and distributor of white and brown layers that are suitable for traditional and alternative egg production systems in different climate conditions, will be exhibiting at IPPE 2013.
US - Over the last several years, there has been a moderate increase in the number of poultry flocks being managed without antibiotics, due to social pressure to provide this type of poultry meat and eggs in the marketplace, writes Eric Gingerich, DVM,Technical Service Specialist for Poultry at Diamond V.
The mission of ISA is to breed layers that are capable of laying 500 first quality eggs per hen housed. This number will be achieved through continuous improvement of the lay persistence for a prolonged production cycle, without compromising on the quality of eggs. This will benefit both egg producers and society as a whole in the following ways: • Higher earnings for egg producers, because higher egg numbers are obtained per flock and because flocks need to be replaced less often.
The use of antibiotics for both prevention and treatment of disease continues to be a common management intervention for enteric diseases, especially in meat production. Health management of flocks without antibiotics, therefore, requires adjustments in health interventions to assure profitability and prevent suffering of animals in our care. The key to ABF production is the elevated management level required, compared to conventional production, to accomplish the desired results.
• A more sustainable production of eggs, because flocks need to be replaced less often which implies less frequent rearing of... Read More...

IPPE SPECIAL GUIDE GO OX! WE KNOW HOW: 100 PER CENT BIODEGRADABLE
CHR HANSEN PRESENTS REMARKABLE RESEARCH AT IPPE
US - Grupo Ox, based in Spain, develops and manufactures a highly effective and new-generation range of biosafety solutions.
DENMARK - The combination of Bacillus licheniformis (BL) and Bacitracin Methylene Disalicylate (BMD) supplied to C. perfringens challenged broilers is more effective in improving weight gain and feed conversion ratio than the use of BMD alone, according to Chr. Hansen Animal Health and Nutrition.
With more than 15 years of experience, we are headquartered in the Walqa Technology Park in Huesca (Spain), in a highly scientific and technical knowledge centered environment, and faithfully reflects the company's policies by being entirely biosustainable. Grupo Ox was created to supply the market with a range of ecological and biodegradable biocidal products and services whose fields of application include overall health and prevention, whilst maintaining our commitment to caring for the environment.
At the upcoming IPPE in Atlanta, Georgia, Chr. Hansen Animal Health & Nutrition will present two posters with research done in collaboration with Greg Mathis at Southern Poultry Research Inc. In particular, the investigation into the use of Chr. Hansen's direct fed microbials in combination with Bacitracin Methylene Disalicylate (BMD) showed remarkable results.
Its progress and experience have allowed Grupo Ox to specialise in a new concept of integrated biosafety management, with its main strength being the provision of 3E solutions: effective, ecological and economically viable. Read More...

Directorio de Empresas Eventos Acerca de
Tendencias en las tecnologías de comunicación Se están produciendo varias tendencias interesantes en cuanto a tecnología de la comunicación por toda Latinoamérica. De acuerdo con diferentes informes recientes de Latin Link hay varias tendencias que llaman la atención.
Bienvenido Chris Wright Editor principal, ElSitioAvicola.com chris.wright@5mpublishing.com ElSitioAvicola.com, publicado por 5m Publishing, es el portal del sector avícola para Latinoamérica y España, con noticias y análisis de todo el mundo actualizados a diario. Algunos de los temas más importantes que se han presentado en el sitio recientemente incluyen: • Manejo del pre-procesamiento de los pollos • Producción y comercio de pavos • Efecto de los ácidos orgánicos
Se vendieron 39,8 millones de computadoras en Latinoamérica en 2012, que es un incremento del 5,3% comparado con las cifras de 2011. Se estima que las ventas de portátiles incrementaron en un 8,7% y que se vendieron 2,1 millones de tabletas en Latinoamérica el año pasado. En el primer trimestre de 2012, el 40% de los teléfonos móviles vendidos en Argentina fueron “smart phones”. Se estimaron grandes incrementos en las ventas de “smart phones” en Brasil y Chile. En Latinoamérica, las mujeres y las personas solteras son los que más compran productos tecnológicos. En Brasil y Argentina, en particular, las plataformas móviles “smart phones” y “notebooks” se usan para ver videos. Las ventas de tabletas en Brasil aumentaron en más de un 100% en 2012. Resumiendo otros de los datos presentados por Latin Link, la compra de productos en línea subió en 2012, particularmente en:Venezuela, Guatemala, Chile y Perú. Estas cifras acuerdan con lo que está pasando en el resto del mundo en términos de uso de las plataformas móviles de comunicación. La lección para las empresas es bastante simple: se tiene que divulgar información dirigida específicamente a los teléfonos móviles, “smart phones” y tabletas. Es ahí donde los consumidores están buscando la información que necesitan. Si quiere alcanzar a los clientes, se debe de hacer en los aparatos móviles. El sector avícola debe adecuarse a estos cambios, o se arriesga a perder clientes. La realidad es que ya no se puede presentar información de la misma manera que antes, ya sean artículos o propaganda empresarial. Las tecnologías móviles requieren una presentación diferente, con información más resumida y compacta y fácil de entender. Lea más aquí

ElSitioAvicola.com LA EXPO AVÍCOLA DE ATLANTA: MÁS GRANDE QUE NUNCA
EL PRECIO DEL HUEVO SIGUE ALTO EN MÉXICO Y ESPAÑA
La Exposición Avícola International, tomará lugar en Atlanta Georgia, EUA, del 29 al 31 de enero de 2013. La Expo Avícola es solo un componente de la IPPE, la Exposición Internacional de Producción y Procesamiento, que también incluye la Exposición Internacional de Alimentos Balanceados y la Exposición Internacional de la Carne.
En 2012, por un a serie de diferentes factores, los precios de productos avícolas subieron a través del mundo. Dos países en particular experimentaron alzas significativas en los precios del huevo.
Este año será la primera vez que la Exposición Internacional de la Carne se une a la expo avícola y de alimentos balanceados. Además, se mantiene el cambio en los días que ya comenzó el año pasado, con el evento comenzando el martes y terminando el jueves, en vez de comenzar el miércoles y terminar el viernes. Como siempre habrá una serie de importantes conferencias técnicas y científicas que comienzan el lunes 28 y se prolongan todos los días del evento. Lea más aquí
En informes recientes en México y España, se ha indicado el impacto de estos altos precios. Mientras que en México un brote de influenza aviar altamente patógena afectó a la principal región productora de huevo, en España fueron las nuevas normas de bienestar animal que impactaron los precios. En México se calcula que el precio del huevo se elevó un 38% en los últimos cinco meses del año.Tomando por ejemplo los precios de huevo en Nuevo León en agosto, el huevo llegó a dispararse hasta los 32 pesos cuando se vendía en 18.80 pesos al cierre de julio. Desde agosto los precios no han bajado. Esto debido al brote de influenza aviar altamente patógena que afectó a la región de Los Altos de Jalisco, la principal región... Lea más aquí
LA CAMBIANTE DEMOGRAFÍA DEL MAÍZ Está cambiando rápidamente donde se produce el maíz en el mundo, y particularmente en Estados Unidos. En EUA, zonas tradicionalmente no productoras de maíz ahora están produciendo este grano. Dan Zwicker, analista de mercados de CGB Enterprises, mencionó los cambios que están tomando lugar en el mercado del maíz durante un desayuno para granjeros en el norte de Illinois la semana pasada. Comenzó la discusión hablando de Brasil y Argentina, y la importancia que han tomado como productores y exportadores de maíz. Básicamente, los altos precios de maíz en los Estados Unidos, quiere decir que este maíz ya no es competitivo en los mercados internacionales. Pero el maíz producido en Brasil y Argentina sí lo es. Zwicker mencionó que comenzando este verano pasado el sector avícola... Lea más aquí

Artículo Principal
Los eventos más impactantes del 2012 ANÁLISIS - El año 2012 fue un año que muchos queremos olvidar dado las cuantiosas malas noticias que ocurrieron. El sector avícola internacional experimentó muchas situaciones negativas, desafortunadamente. Escribe Chris Wright, editor principal. A continuación hacemos un resumen de los hechos que más afectaron al mercado avícola por todo el mundo, pero con enfoque particular en los países hispanohablantes. Entre los muchos eventos de importancia, siete se destacaron debido a su impacto mundial o regional. 1. La sequía en Estados Unidos. Una sequía histórica, la peor en 50 años, redujo significativamente la cosecha de maíz, soya y trigo. Los precios de estos insumos subieron a niveles históricos. EUA
42
es un importantísimo exportador de estos granos, además de ser dónde los precios internacionales de estos productos se cotizan. La suba de los precios de insumos afectó muy negativamente al sector avícola y agropecuario en todas partes del mundo. El resultado fue unos precios más altos en un sin número de productos para consumo humano. Hasta el río Misisipi, crítica arteria de transporte de granos, se secó debido a la falta de lluvia, lo que ha reducido su tráfico significativamente. 2. Brote de influenza aviar en México. El brote de influenza aviar altamente patógena H7N3 en la región de Los Altos de Jalisco causó la muerte de más de 22 millones de gallinas ponedoras comerciales. Aunque el brote nunca salió de la región de Los Altos, y se controló de forma bastante rápida a través
ElSitioAvicola.com de la vacunación, los precios del huevo a nivel nacional subieron vertiginosamente. El Gobierno permitió, por primera vez, la importación de huevo en cáscara a México. México es el país de mayor consumo per cápita de huevo en el mundo y uno de los mayores productores mundiales de este comestible. Jalisco es por mucho el principal estado productor de huevo en México. 3. Europa deja de usar jaulas convencionales para gallinas. El 1 de enero de 2012 entró en vigor la directiva de bienestar de gallinas ponedoras comerciales, la cual no permite el uso de jaulas convencionales. Las ponedoras se tienen que criar en sistemas alternativos, ya sean jaulas de colonia (jaulas enriquecidas), aviarios, sistemas de piso o al aire libre. A pesar de que se había dado más de una década de advertencia de la Directiva, muchos países no estaban preparados. En España, por ejemplo, la Directiva resultó en mucha menos oferta y precios mucho mayores. Algunas empresas productoras de huevo desaparecieron. Se indica que los precios del huevo se incrementaron en 75% en España en 2012. 4. Tratados de libre comercio de EUA con Colombia y Panamá. A fines del 2011, después de muchos años de negociarse, se firmaron TLCs entre EUA y cuatro diferentes países, incluso Colombia y Panamá. El TLC con Colombia entró en vigor en mayo de 2012, después de unas pocas semanas de advertencia. En Panamá, el tratado entró en vigor a fines de octubre. Los sectores avícolas de Colombia y Panamá se verán afectados por estos tratados y preocupa que que las importaciones de pollo de EUA inunden a estos mercados latinoamericanos. 5.México no impuso aranceles antidumping al pollo de EUA. En 2011 varias empresas avícolas mexicanas se quejaron al Gobierno de que las importaciones de piernas y muslos de pollo de Estados Unidos estaban entrando a México a precios por debajo de los costos de producción – precios dumping. El Gobierno hizo una investigación y concluyó que en efecto, sí había dumping de las piezas de pollo de EUA. Se establecieron cuotas compensatorias contra esas piezas de pollo, pero las medidas nunca se impusieron. En agosto de 2012, el Gobierno mexicano sorprendió a todos al decidir que no se iban a imponer los aranceles antidumping y se cerró el caso. El sector avícola mexicano estuvo muy decepcionado
por la decisión del Gobierno. México tomó la decisión en base a la crisis del huevo que ocurrió en el país en 2012 con los resultantes altísimos precios. Se quería evitar una subida parecida en los precios del pollo. México es el mayor importador de carne de pollo de EUA. 6. Restricciones contra carnes brasileñas. En 2012, los sectores avícola y cárnico de Brasil estuvieron afectados por restricciones en dos países: Sudáfrica y Rusia. En 2011, Sudáfrica hizo una demanda antidumping contra las exportaciones de pollo de Brasil. Brasil respondió que la demanda era falsa y llevó el caso a la Organización Mundial de Comercio (OMC). Aunque Brasil y Sudáfrica continúan en comunicación sobre este caso, aún no se resuelve. En el otro caso, que también comenzó en 2011, Rusia prohibió el envío de productos cárnicos desde 126 frigoríficos de los estados brasileños de Paraná, Mato Grosso y Río Grande del Sur, citando problemas con las condiciones de producción. Esta restricción tuvo un impacto importante en las exportaciones cárnicas de Brasil este año. El caso se resolvió a fines de noviembre de 2012, cuando Rusia suspendió el embargo a las carnes brasileñas. 7. La caída de Doux en Francia – JBS toma Frangosul en Brasil. El grupo Doux de Francia, en su día, fue una de las empresas avícolas más importantes del mundo. Hace varios años la empresa comenzó a tener problemas. A principios de 2012 el grupo se declaró en bancarrota. En agosto de 2012 un tribunal francés liquidó parcialmente al grupo Doux, afectando a sus muchos empleados en Francia. El caso de la insolvencia de la empresa seguía sin resolverse a fines del año. Doux compró la empresa avícola brasileña Frangosul en 1998 y se convirtió en la tercera empresa avícola más importante de Brasil. Pero esta empresa tuvo grandes problemas; en 2011 no le podía pagar a sus avicultores integrados. En mayo de 2012, JBS de Brasil, uno de los más importantes productores de carne en el mundo, arrendó los activos avícolas de Frangosul. Hasta ese punto, JBS no tenía operaciones avícolas en Brasil – aunque si en Estados Unidos (Pligrim’s). Ahora JBS Aves Brasil es el tercer productor de pollo del país. La acción de JBS salvó a los empleados de Frangosul y previno una desestabilización del sector avícola brasileño.

Artículo Principal
Cambio en ley sobre sacrificio de aves La nueva legislación, diseñada para proteger el bienestar de los animales en el momento del sacrificio, entrará en vigor el 1 de enero de 2013 en toda la Unión Europea, escribe Chris Harris, editor en jefe de TheMeatSite. Las nuevas leyes exigirán que los avicultores aturdan a las aves antes de sacrificarlas. Todas las granjas que matan a las aves en sus instalaciones para el suministro de carne, ya sea para el consumidor final o minoristas locales que lo distribuyen al consumidor final, tendrán que cumplir con el Reglamento (CE) no 1099/2009 del Consejo sobre la protección de los animales en el momento de sacrificio.
44
La regulación dice que los productores-procesadores deben evitar a los animales todo dolor, angustia o sufrimiento durante el sacrificio u operaciones relacionadas. Esto se traduce en que los animales solo podrán sacrificarse después de aturdirlos según los métodos y requisitos específicos dispuestos en la regulación. CAPACITACIÓN DE PERSONAL Un personal que haya obtenido cierto nivel de competencia deberá ser el encargado del sacrificio y de aquellas operaciones relacionadas con el mismo. Además, se ha introducido un nuevo sistema para formar al personal en una cualificación excelente sobre
ElSitioAvicola.com la protección del bienestar de los animales en el momento de la matanza. Los miembros del personal tienen que seleccionar las unidades que reflejan sus responsabilidades en el lugar de trabajo y cuando logren la cualificación, esas personas pueden solicitar a la autoridad competente un "certificado de competencia" para sacrificar animales. Las leyes enuncian que esas personas, que están solicitando los certificados de competencia podrían tener que demostrar aquella experiencia profesional relevante obtenida antes de 2013 y en un período de unos tres años, antes de poder ser aptos para tener "derechos de exención" y transferir cualquier cualificación/licencia actual a una nueva cualificación/certificado. Uno de los varios tipos de pistola de bala cautiva ATURDIMIENTO En el Reino Unido, la asociación Humane Slaughter Association (HSA) recomienda el uso de pistolas de bala cautiva para el aturdimiento de pavos, patos y gansos, de entre los métodos permitidos. La HSA añadió que se ha investigado y demostrado científicamente que ese equipo especializado causa una perdida de consciencia inmediata. (Las pistolas de bala cautiva se usan para aturdir ganado vacuno, chivos, ovejas y caballos antes del sacrificio).
teria carótida pero según las nuevas leyes, los métodos de "aturdimiento sencillo" deben ser seguidos por el corte sistemático de ambas arterias carótidas. La HSA declaró que algunos productores pueden necesitar alterar sus practicas para el sangrado y recomienda como técnica fiable un corte en el cuello en la parte frontal de la garganta del ave, cerca de la cabeza. Para fracturar las carótidas es esencial cortar el músculo del cuello y por encima de las vértebras pero no a través de ellas. Otros métodos de aturdimiento que pueden usarse son el aturdimiento eléctrico y el sangrado siempre que el equipo inmediatamente deje al animal inconsciente y no cause simplemente la parálisis. El aturdimiento con el uso de gas y el sangrado también se pueden usar pero hasta ahora no hay equipo disponible para su empleo en la propia granja. También se puede disparar al ave con un arma de fuego pero la HSA dice que eso supone un riesgo para el bienestar del ave y para la salud y la seguridad del personal. La dislocación cervical sin aturdimiento previo no está permitida, excepto en aquellos lugares donde no haya otros métodos disponibles para el aturdimiento. Se aplican restricciones similares para el uso de un golpe contundente en la cabeza. La decapitación está estrictamente prohibida.
Para alcanzar al cerebro, el aturdidor se posiciona en el lugar adecuado de la cabeza del ave. Después del aturdimiento, el ave convulsionará involuntariamente. La HSA expresó que las pistolas de bala cautiva también podrían aturdir humanamente pollos y por lo tanto son un equipo versátil para productores de gran variedad de especies avícolas. SANGRADO Inmediatamente después del aturdimiento, se suele sangrar a los animales para asegurarse que no recobran la consciencia. La ley británica actual (Ley sobre el Bienestar de los Animales durante el sacrificio, enmendada en 1995) exige que los procesadores corten al menos una ar-

Artículo Prinicpal
Manejo del pre-procesamiento de los pollos: captura Durante el manejo del pre-proceso existen un número de factores que pueden influir potencialmente en la calidad de la canal. El proceso de captura debe ser continuamente monitoreado y revisado, según el Dr. Rafael Monleón, Veterinario de Aviagen para la región de Asia.
• capture las aves con cuidado, evitando daños Deben existir normas claras, y el proceso de captura debe ser continuamente monitoreado y revisado. Es esencial la adecuada capacitación del personal.
INTRODUCCIÓN
El estrés de las aves durante la captura debe ser mínimo. Se debe reducir la intensidad de la luz al mínimo y evitar los aumentos repentinos en la intensidad de la luz. Cuando la captura se lleva a cabo durante el día, el usar cortinas en las puertas principales ayudará a reducir la intensidad de la luz en la caseta y reducirá el estrés.
Durante la captura: • reduzca al mínimo la intensidad de la luz y evite incrementos bruscos en su intensidad • controle y ajuste la ventilación cuidadosamente para evitar el estrés por calor, y
46
CAPTURA
Se debe controlar y ajustar la ventilación afinada-
ElSitioAvicola.com mente durante la captura para evitar el estrés por calor, y se debe vigilar cuidadosamente las aves para detectar cualquier signo de recalentamiento (jadeo). La captura puede realizarse manual o mecánicamente. Con captura mecánica normalmente se pueden atrapar entre 4,000 y 5,000 aves por hora. Los beneficios potenciales de la captura mecánica (cuando se realiza adecuadamente según las recomendaciones del fabricante y con la debida capacitación) son: • Mayor bienestar de las aves a través de una menor tasa de estrés por la captura y lesiones • Menores costos operativos, y
La lesión más común asociada con el manejo no adecuado durante la captura son los hematomas. Aproximadamente 90 a 95 por ciento de los hematomas que se hallan en los pollos de engorde durante el procesamiento han ocurrido durante las últimas 12 horas antes del sacrificio. De estos, normalmente el 35% han sido causados por el avicultor, 40% se producen durante la captura, y el resto se producen durante el transporte, descarga y cuando se colocan en los ganchos. El analizar el color de los hematomas que se ven en la planta de procesamiento para determinar el tiempo que tienen, y por lo tanto saber en qué momento del proceso se han producido, es un medio útil de establecer dónde existen los problemas, y si se requiere cualquier capacitación adicional.
• Mejores condiciones de trabajo Sin embargo, los costos iniciales de la captura mecánica son altos, y su uso no se adapta a todas las operaciones. La captura mecánica es ideal para las instalaciones modernas donde las casetas tienden a ser más amplias y con más espacio libre (libres de obstáculos estructurales internos). Los métodos de captura manual varían de país a país dependiendo de la disponibilidad del equipo y de la mano de obra. Las cuadrillas de captura manual normalmente capturan y colocan en jaulas entre 7,000 y 10,000 aves en una hora. Sin embargo, el personal puede estar fatigado y trabajar un turno de forma inconsistente. El uso de montacargas para ingresar a la caseta los módulos de transporte, o el emplear tubos de PVC para facilitar el movimiento de los módulos de transporte a través del galpón, pueden hacer más fácil la captura manual. El personal de las cuadrillas de captura debe estar adecuadamente capacitado en el manejo y el bienestar de las aves. Las aves se deben capturar cuidadosamente y sujetarlas de ambas patas, o por el pecho con ambas manos para reducir sufrimiento, daños y lesiones como por ejemplo hematomas o dislocaciones de cadera y ala.
Tener un miembro del personal de la planta de procesamiento supervisando el proceso de captura puede ser también una práctica que valga la pena. Los hematomas se atribuyen ocasionalmente a las micotoxinas, por ejemplo, la aflatoxina. Sin embargo, la aflatoxina solo incrementa la susceptibilidad a los hematomas, no los ocasiona. Los hematomas solo ocurren como resultado de algún tipo de trauma/ o mal manejo. No se deben llenar demasiado los módulos de transporte, y se debe respetar la legislación local. Si el número de aves por módulo es demasiado alto, puede ocurrir sobrecalentamiento, mayor estrés de las aves, mortalidad y una mayor incidencia de decomisos en la planta de procesamiento. El número de aves por módulo de transporte debe reducirse en altas temperaturas. El nivel exacto de reducción es difícil de cuantificar, y dependerá de la temperatura, el tamaño del módulo de transporte y la política de legislación local.
Se deben tener normas claras respecto al manejo de las aves y el proceso de captura se debe supervisar y revisar regularmente.

Health & Welfare News EU TO ENFORCE BETTER ANIMAL TRANSPORT CONDITIONS
BEST PRACTICE DISPOSAL OF SPENT HENS
EU - The European Parliament has pushed through measures to tighten up enforcement controls for the welfare of animals in transport.
AUSTRALIA - For egg producers, nothing is more important than the welfare of their birds; it is their livelihood.This extends to their treatment at the conclusion of their productive life.
In a resolution passed in December, the MEPs said that existing rules have to be enforced properly, inspections stepped up and more dissuasive penalties on offenders imposed. To avoid long journeys to abattoirs, the EU should promote the use of local ones and consider an eighthour cap on journey times, they added. "Mahatma Gandhi said that the greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way it treats its animals. We should do everything in our power to reduce their suffering. Our call for measures to cut transport times for animals, including a concrete step towards setting an eight-hour limit for transport of animals for slaughter proves that we do care for their well-being", Read More...

POULTRY FARMING TO BENEFIT FROM NEW FUNDING
SCIENTIST RECEIVES GRANT FOR AVIAN FLU RESEARCH
UK - The BBSRC has recently awarded a ÂŁ550,000grant to Moredun Research Institute to lead a new project to investigate the development of a vaccine to control poultry red mite.
US - Dr David Bradley, an immunologist at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences, recently received a Centers of Research Excellence grant of $700,000 from the North Dakota Department of Commerce to continue research on avian flu antibodies that could help poultry farmers effectively combat outbreaks of the disease.
The research collaboration involves scientists from the Moredun Research Institute and the Royal Veterinary College London, in partnership with Pfizer Animal Health, who are co-funding the work, and DairyCo. Reproductive failure in cattle is one area of great concern to the agricultural sector, as it has a major impact on productivity in UK cattle herds. While there are many factors contributing to reduced rates of reproduction in livestock systems, infection plays a key role, with 77 per cent of diagnosed cases of bovine foetal death reported as resulting from infectious causes. However, diagnosis of the infectious causes of pre-natal death in cattle is... Read More...

Poultry Industry News WHY THE RAPID GROWTH RATE IN TODAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CHICKENS US - Dr Wei Zhai, Assistant Extension/Research Professor, and Jessica Wells, Extension Instructor at the Poultry Science Department of Mississippi State University explain that broiler growth rates have improved significantly over recent decades as the result of better feeding and genetics and without the use of hormones. Two questions people often wonder about poultry are: "Why are chickens grown to such an enormous size in an industry setting?" and "Does the industry use hormones to help the chickens reach this large body size?" These are very good questions. It is true that chickens currently grown in the industry are drastically bigger than those grown years ago. However, hormones are not the reason for this size difference. Rather, the research and knowledge the industry has gained over the past years has allowed producers to grow larger chickens.

Breeding & Genetics TWO-FOLD BENEFITS OF LOWER PROTEIN LEVEL IN BROILER PRODUCTION
TALKING TECHNICAL WITH NICK FRENCH - GLOBAL HEAD OF TECHNICAL TRANSFER
GERMANY - Lowering the level of protein - one of the most expensive raw materials for the future - is paying off for more broiler producers across Europe, according to James Truscott, director of Cobb Germany.
GLOBAL - Aviagen’s Technical Transfer Team is possibly the department of the company that most customers have the highest level of interaction with, because even if they don’t meet the team face to face, most of them will have one of their publications to hand. As a global entity, Technical Transfer’s role is to produce information and tools to improve management practices.
The practice is showing real benefits in their market area of 21 countries with economic and bird health advantages for the Cobb500 broiler, he told more than 40 participants at the company’s annual preChristmas conference in the eastern German town of Dessau. "Especially in Germany most of the large integrations are increasing, or have already increased, significantly the percentage of Cobb," he said. "Broiler producers in Switzerland and Germany are now realizing they can earn a higher profit...
So says Dr Nick French, who is now managing the Global Technical Transfer Team. Having previously carried out a similar role within Aviagen Turkeys and having been a key part of Aviagen’s hatchery specialist team over the last few years, Dr French is well placed for the new role. He is promising that there will be continuing support and the team will be consistently investigating new ways of delivering advice and developing new tools.

Poultry Industry News STUDY EXAMINES FACTORS AFFECTING FARM BIOSECURITY THAILAND - Biosecurity levels at contract broiler grower farms tended to be better than on cooperative and individual ones, according to new research from Thailand. Factors that affected the biosecurity level included farming pattern, farm ecology, compliance with governmental measures and policies and the ability to invest in biosecurity system. Biosecurity levels of contract farm with company were better than cooperative and individual ones.The difference of biosecurity levels was due to the farming pattern, farm ecology, the compliance to governmental measures and policies and the ability to invest in biosecurity system of each group. As a result, the scores of biosecurity differed. These are the conclusions of a study by Huo Wei from South China Agricultural University and Worapol Aengwanich of Mahasarakham University in Thailand, published in International Journal of Poultry Science.

Biosecurity & Hygiene BIRDS MAY SPREAD, NOT HALT, FEVER-BEARING TICKS
NO VIRUS IS INVINCIBLE, SAYS AXCENTIVE
US - In Turkey, thousands of non-native guineafowl have been raised and released to eat ticks that carry the deadly Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus in people. Yet research suggests guineafowl eat few ticks and carry the parasites on their feathers, possibly spreading the disease they were meant to stop, says a biologist working at the University of Utah.
EU - Halamid® is frequently tested against the latest norms for its killing effect on pathogenic viruses and bacteria, according to Axcentive.
"They are introducing a species that is not eating many ticks, based on studies of stomach content, and is carrying the ticks, which are the best conduit for spreading Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever," says Çagan Sekercioglu, an assistant professor of biology at the University of Utah. "They should stop these introductions immediately because there is a risk they may be doing the opposite of what they intended," says Dr Sekercioglu, an ornithologist or bird expert and founder of the Turkish environmental group... Read More...
The standards for testing evolve quickly, especially now that the new harmonised European biocide law calls for unambiguous efficacy data. Recently Halamid was tested against the ECBO virus. Because of its resistance, this virus is often seen as the reference for virucidal activity in the veterinary segment. Halamid passed the test (minimum log-4 reduction) at both 10 and 20°C at high-level soiling. Further proof that despite its mildness to skin and animals, Halamid is a powerfully effective disinfectant for livestock.

Poultry Industry News PROMOTING WELFARE THROUGH PROPER ANIMAL NUTRITION
NEW EU PROJECT ASSESSES BIOACTIVE PRODUCTS
GLOBAL - Animal welfare includes the combination of both physical and mental well-being, according to a new report from FAO. A properly balanced diet and water supplied in adequate amounts avoid physical and psychological suffering from hunger and thirst; furthermore, correct nutrition is crucial for optimal performance and to sustain optimal fitness.
EU - A €1.68-million project - 'Thrive-Rite' - coordinated by BioAtlantis Ltd. aims to validate the effectiveness of commercially available products in enhancing pig and poultry performance and reducing infection in challenge situations.
An expert meeting held in September last year in Rome reviewed the impact of animal nutrition on animal welfare. For both ruminant and monogastric species, the experts identified: • feeding options for different livestock production systems (extensive, mixed crop-livestock, and intensive) that improve animal welfare while increasing profitability of the livestock producers and ensuring safety and quality through the food chain, and • challenges and opportunities to enhance animal welfare through animal feeding approaches.
Pig and poultry farmers face huge problems in the form of rising production costs, tighter margins and poor animal health. However, solutions to some of these problems are becoming available. A €1.68-million project coordinated by BioAtlantis Ltd. (Ireland) and including three other Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), will validate the effectiveness of commercially available products in enhancing pig and poultry performance and reducing infection in challenge situations. 'THRIVE-RITE' has been granted a two-year window to generate products which can achieve gains previously obtained through the use of in-feed antibiotics, a practice banned in the EU in 2006.

Feeding & Nutrition INFLUENCE OF FEED FORM AND SOURCE OF SOYBEAN MEAL ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF BROILERS SPAIN - A new study from Spain shows that pelleting improves the performance of broilers up to 42 days of age, and that the source of soybean meal - US, Brazil or Argentina - can also have a significant impact on growth. In total, 3,120 broilers were used to study the effects of feed form and source of soybean meal (SBM) of the diet on growth performance of broilers kept in floor pens, report M.P. Serrano and colleagues at Ciudad Universitaria in Madrid, Spain. In a paper published in Poultry Science, they explain that from one to 21 days of age, there were 12 treatments arranged factorially with three feed forms (mash, crumbles and pellets) and four commercial sources of soybean meal that differed in the crude protein (CP) content (48.1 and 46.2 per cent CP from the United States; USA-1 and USA-2; 47.6 per cent CP from Brazil, BRA, and 46.3 per cent CP from Argentina, ARG). From 21 to 42 days of age, diets were fed as pellets. Read More...
BACTERIAL CONTROL: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE UK - Optivite has been involved in employing natural solutions to animal production problems for almost 30 years and over this time, applications have changed and progressed from simple in-feed bacterial control to alternatives to antibiotics. Increased public interest and awareness in the way their food is produced and concerns over antibiotic resistance has led to increased pressure in the way in which animals are reared. Legislation has forced us into looking at ways of removing antibiotic growth promoters but still maintaining productive performance. Optivite has been an industry leader in this area and has helped many companies around the world to achieve this aim.

MARYLAND BANS ARSENIC IN CHICKEN FEED US - Maryland has become the first state to ban an arsenic additive in chicken feed. The arsenic ban, sponsored by Del. Tom Hucker, a Montgomery County Democrat, affects the drug Roxarsone, which includes arsenic among its components, reports the Baltimore Sun. Industry advocates contend that the drug is an effective means of controlling the spread of disease in chicken houses, but environmentalists say its use results in the release of 30,000 pounds a year of a known carcinogen into the state's soil and waters.

Poultry Industry News LIGHT COLOUR IMPACTS BROILER PERFORMANCE CHINA - Broilers reared in green or blue light to 26 days of age and then changed to the other colour grew faster than those with other light colour combinations, according to newly published research. Feed conversion tended to be better when the light was blue from days 26 to 49. Researchers in Beijing have found that swapping between green and blue lights during the rearing period can improve the performance of broilers. J. Cao and colleagues at the China Agricultural University report that a previous study suggested that green light promotes broiler growth from hatching to 26 days of age, and blue light enhances growth during the later stage (27 to 49 days of age). They explain that the purpose of their latest study, published in the journal, Poultry Science, was to improve broiler growth and productive performance by using a combination of monochromatic lights at critical points between the early and later stages of growth.

Processing & Packaging NEW RULES FOR KILLING, SLAUGHTER OF ANIMALS
SIZE, NOT VITAMIN E LINKED TO CHICKEN FILLET QUALITY ISSUE
FINLAND - A new regulation, to be applied from 1 January 2013, will require more detailed planning and in-house control of killing of production animals, according to the Finnish Food Safety Authority, Evira. The regulation permits more methods of killing than previous legislation. In the regulation, the term ‘killing’ also refers to the slaughter of animals.
US - White striping of broiler breast meat was more prevalent and severe in heavier fillets, according to new research from the University of Arkansas. Feeding the birds higher levels of vitamin E had no significant effect.
The basic principle of animal killing is still that the animal is spared from unnecessary distress, pain and suffering at the time of killing and during the related procedures. The new regulation imposes less precise measurement, number and time specifications for the permitted methods of killing animals than previous legislation.
