The Production of poultry is directly linked with marketing and consumption. The Poultry Food chains are massive clients who create demand of food products by various innovative methods of marketing of raw and cooked food. The second largest food chain in terms of revenue in World is KFC. The model of KFC need be studied by domestic players to understand that how a company from America is doing well in India having 335 outlets in various cities and on roadside.Let us introspect that why we could not create such a chain so far when there is a clarion call for “ Make in India” given by current Govt. Kentucky Fried Chicken, more commonly known by its initials KFC, is an American fast food restaurant chain that specializes in fried chicken. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, it is the world's second-largest restaurant chain (as measured by sales) after McDonald's, with almost 20,000 locations globally in 123 countries and territories as of December 2015. KFC's original product is pressure fried chicken pieces, seasoned with ( original developer ) Sanders' recipe of 11 herbs and spices. The constituents of the recipe represent a notable trade secret. Larger portions of fried chicken are served in a cardboard "bucket", which has become a well known feature of the chain since it was first introduced by franchisee Pete Harman in 1957. Since the early 1990s, KFC has expanded its menu to offer other chicken products such as chicken fillet burgers and wraps, as well as salads and side dishes, such as French fries and coleslaw, desserts, and soft drinks, the latter often supplied by PepsiCo. KFC is known for its former and current slogan "Finger Lickin' Good", which was replaced by "Nobody does chicken like KFC" and "So good" in the interim.KFC is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, one of the largest restaurant companies in the world. KFC had sales of $23 billion in 2013.There are more KFC restaurants in China ( 4500 ) in comparison to number in USA. Outlets are owned by franchisees or directly by the company. Eleven percent of outlets are company owned, with the rest operated by franchise holders. Although capital intensive, company ownership allows for faster expansion of the chain. Most restaurants are furnished with images of the company founder, Colonel Harland Sanders. As well as dine-in and take-out, many stand-alone KFC outlets offer a drive-through option. KFC offers a limited delivery service in a small number of markets. Units include express concessions and kiosks which feature a limited menu and operated in non-traditional locations such as filling stations, convenience stores, stadia, theme parks and colleges, where a full scale outlet would not be practical. In India we have popular name to point at is - Venky's. the diversified VH Group is a USD 1 billion conglomerateand a large Asian poultry company. The group has diversified into 29 fields including: poultry, processed food, animal vaccines, pharma and healthcare products. In December 2010, the group launched Venky's Express, a ready to eat chicken outlet. The first outlet opened in Pune. Attar Singh Chawla's – famous Chawla Chicken chain is another example in North India. He developed tasty Chawla Cream Chicken. He migrated from Haldwani to Punjab to flourish his franchisee expansion business.

AN INTRODUCTION ON PREPARATION OF EGG POWDER Rabi Ranjan Naik M.V. Sc. Scholar, Department of Livestock Products Technology, Madras veterinary college, TANUVAS, Chennai – 600007 Corresponding author: rabiranjann.g@gmail.com

The preparation of egg powder is one of important method of egg preservation due to short shelf life of egg and it is more convenient for export compared to shell eggs.

Antibiotic residue

Yolk powder

Pesticide residues

For functional properties like

Yolk is separated from the albumen and cooled to 4°C. The solid content of the yolk is tested. Increase in solid content may increase the viscosity and obstruct the spraying nozzle during drying. The yolk liquid is pasteurized at 65°C for 5 minutes. It is spray dried by spraying at a pressure of 3000 to 4000 psi and passing a hot air of about 140°C. Yolk powder has to be stored below 23°C.

a. Foaming capacity

Before eggs are broken, they are tested for

b. Water holding capacity

Microbiological examination

c. Emulsifying capacity

Biological Test: Estimation of betahydroxyl butyric acid to identify fertilized egg.

The functional properties are important for manufacturing of egg products like cakes and other bakery products.

Biochemical examination: For lactic acid which will help to identify deterioration.

Albumen powder

pH: Fresh egg will have a pH of 9.0 and commercially available table eggs will have a pH of 6.5 to 7.0.

After breakage it is estimated for solid contents, if the solid contents are more it is diluted with some diluents without affecting the functional properties. Eggs are examined for cleanliness and stored below 20°C (preferably at 18°C). If stored below 10°C there will be perfuse sweating during breakage. The eggs are conveyed through belt system and they are removed from egg trays by a machine. The eggs are broken for further processing. 1.

90 eggs will give 1 kg whole egg powder

250 eggs will give 1 kg albumen powder

120 eggs will give 1 kg yolk powder

Whole egg powder The egg liquid is cooled to 4°C. The pasteurization of whole egg is done at 65°C for 5 minutes and spray dried. The egg liquid is sprayed with a pressure of 3000 to 4000 psi with a pump and a hot air is passed at a temperature of 140 °C. Before the air is heated they are purified and filtered to avoid microbial contamination. The final finished product is tested for 1. 10

Microbial load

The albumen is separated from the whole egg immediately after breaking by keeping a slit opening on the egg liquid ﬂowing channel. The ﬂoating yolk cannot passes through the slit opening and it is separated from the albumen. The separated albumen is homogenized for 5 minutes in a homogenizer and cooled to 4°C. In case of preparation of albumen powder, degluconation (removal of glucose and other monosaccharides) is done by fermentation with yeast culture. The presence of glucose will cause some charring effect during heat drying and it will affect the colour of the albumen powder. After fermentation, the albumen liquid will have a pH of 4.5. The yeast cells are removed by centrifuging after fermentation is over or pasteurization is done to kill yeast cells. Then it is spray dried and packed. After packing it is kept at 60-80°C for 12 to 15days till is free from microbes, other residues and favorable functional properties are obtained. If albumen powders are to be prepared from minimum number of eggs the problem is Egg size has to be increased which will enhance more breakage in the farm and during transport. Increasing the solid content of the albumen is not practically possible which is commonly very low (35%) when compared to yolk (45%)

Freezing Rapid freezing is accomplished in an air blast at -1°C, and the frozen whole egg, albumen and yolk should be stored at 32°C or below. Frozen yolk products include plain yolk, salted or sugared yolk and yolk emulsion. Freezing of whole egg or yolk results in gelation. The amount of gelation is less drastic in whole egg than in yolk. Fast freezing and thawing when combined together result in less gelation than slow freezing and thawing. Generally, 10% sodium chloride or 10% sucrose is used to control gelation of egg-yolk, but use of either of these ingredients limits the utilization of ﬁnal product to speciﬁc food products. Pepsin (0.04%) is useful in preventing egg-yolk gelation without any adverse effect on its functional properties. POULTRY PLANNER | FEBRUARY - 2017

IN-OVO AND JUVENILE FEEDING: IMPORTANCE AND EFFECTS IN BROILER CHICKEN Dr.Mihir Sarma1, Dr.Mridul Kr.

Indian poultry industry is most vibrant, fast growing and dynamic subsector of agriculture. The growth is 6-8 % in layers and 10-12 % in broilers per annum. The rate of growth in the recent past is unimaginable, from 20th position in world chicken meat production ranking in the year 2000, India reached the 4th position in 2016 with 3.8 million tonne broiler meat production (Kotaiah,2016) The growth per formance and meat yield of commercial broiler has improved linearly each year with greater input efﬁciency.

important to improve early growth performance characteristics in broilers. Because market weight for age has decreased during last 4 decades without change in the duration of incubation, the incubation period has increased to represent 30 to 40 % of the productive life of meat poultry. As the time taken by broiler to achieve the market size reduces, the embryonic development becomes a greater proportion of a bird's life. The 21 day incubation period and 10 days post-

•

In-ovofeeding In-ovofeeding is the administration of exogenous nutrients into the amnion of the late –term avian embryo.In-ovo nutrition speciﬁcally targets the amnion to deliver nutrients that will be presented to the intestinal mucosa when orally consumed by the embryo just before hatch (Uni and Ferket, 2004 ;Uniet al., 2006,).

Poultry industry has been strongly dependent on research. This continuous industry progress is based on the application of scientifically –proven technologies that help poultry growers to improve production yield and overall performance (Rajini, 2014). Still research and work is going to increase production efficacy of chicken. A typical 1957 chicken strain reached 539 g body weight at 42 days of age, while a 2001 commercial broiler chicken strain reached 2,672 g at the same 42 days of age, which constitute remarkable progress (Havensteinet al., 2003). The present day broiler is like a machine growing from a 40 to 45 gm body weight on day one to 2 to 2.25 kg body weight in 40 days time, which is nearly 50 times its initial body weight. To be more precise, they are capable of achieving a body weight of 1 gm per hr. during first week of age and later gain 50 to 60 gm average body weight per day up to 6 weeks of age. This achievement requires emphasis on early phase nutrition (Narahari, 2012).

relative importance to a successful rearing of broiler chicken than even before.

hatch period of the chicks composes about 50% of a 2 kg broiler's life span. The perinatal period – the last four days before hatch through the ﬁrst four days after hatch – is most critical for development and sur vival of commercial broilers; and it is the period during which nutritional conditioning and perinatal programming can occur.Moreover, the early survival is a major concern for high-yielding poultry strains. Therefore, the incubation and brooding periods has gained more

In preparation for emergence (Hatchout), embryonic size and movements cause rupture of the membrane that separated the albumen and amniotic fluid, causing them to mix. The embryo then orally consumes the amniotic fluid, which passes through the gastrointestinal system. Because the embryo orally consumes the amniotic fluid (primarily water and albumen protein) prior to pipping of the air cell, supplementing the amnion with nutrients is fundamentally feeding the embryo an external diet prior to hatch (Rajendran,et al. 2014) i.eIn-ovofeeding. Uni and Ferket, (2003) invented and patented (U.S. Patent No. 6592878 ) the concept of administrating a nutritive solution into the amniotic fluid so as to “feed ” supplemental nutrients to the POULTRY PLANNER | FEBRUARY - 2017

embryo which consumes the amniotic ﬂuid prior to hatch. Uni and Ferket, (2004), observed that feeding the embr yo before hatch by in-ovo administration, enhance hatchability and development of the digestive tract and increase body weight of the hatchling.

improved digestive capacity; increased growth rate and feed efﬁciency; reduced post-hatch mortality and morbidity; improved immune response to enteric antigens; reduced incidence of developmental skeletal disorders; and increased muscle development and breast meat yield.

When pipping occurs, a relatively great amount of energy is used to sustain the pipping movement to break the shell, and body rotation. (Shell piercing is achieved by the coordination of pipping muscle movements and the egg tooth of the beak. The pipping or hatching muscle is a specialised muscle located in the back of the head. Hatching muscle ﬁbers are exclusively anaerobic and relay on glycogen stored there previously. It also has a special nervous system to coordinate its movements).Glycogen stored in liver and muscles main energy source during hatching of chicken. The chick must rebuild that glycogen reserve by gluconeogenesis from body protein (mostly from the breast muscle) to support post hatch thermoregulation and survival until the chicks are able to consume and utilize dietary nutrients.

IOF formulations Combinations of carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, vitamins and enteric modulators (like beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB), organic minerals, lectins, fatty acids and antioxidants. HMB was chosen to be the ﬁrst enteric modulator to be tested.

In- ovo feeding improve energy status at hatch. Since embryonic skeletal tissue development is complete at this point, the nutrients absorbed are used for visceral organs maturation and most of it stored as glycogen. Thus inovo feeding prevents gluconeogenesis from breast muscle. i.e no pressure on breast muscle, full development of breast muscle (Christensen et al., 2004). Supplementing the amnion with appropriate nutrients is a novel way to feed critical dietary components to embryos. Indeed this in-ovo feeding may 'jump-star t' development, improving the nutritional status of the perinatal chick. In- ovofeeding yields several advantages.These advantages include: 14

In-ovo treated birds with HMB and carbohydrates-

Increased hatchability 5 -6 % and Increased liver glycogen 2-5 fold (Pineda et al., 2012)



Increased pectoral muscle size 68% among birds up to 25 days post hatch and Enhanced chick quality, l i ve a b i l i t y a n d p e r f o r m a n c e . (Bhanja et al., 2010)



Enhanced hatchability and development of the digestive tract and increase body weight of the hatchling (Uni and Ferket, 2004).



Increased hatching weights in broilers by 3% to 7 % (P<.05) per cent over controls, and this advantage has been observed to sustain until at least 35 days.

Early nutrition is critical for proper chick development. The first day's immediately after hatch is a ver y impor tant period for the development and sur vival of commercial poultry chicks. During this period there is metabolic and physiological transition from egg yolk to exogenous feed. Early access to feed, improves post hatch survival and growth by improving gut development, digestion and a b s o r p t i o n c a p a c i t y, t h e r e b y overcoming some of the challenges faced by the neonatal broiler chicks during the first week post hatch (Rajini,2014). Each gram of additional weight at 7 days of age translates to 5 gram of extra body weight at day 49 and delayed feeding in the first few days of life reduces final bodyweight (Kidd et al., 2007). Most of the farmers may feel that feeding is not essential immediately after hatching because conventional understanding says that birds survive on its residual yolk which comprises approximately 20 % of the bodyweight of chicks and provides immediate post hatch energy and protein for maintenance and growth and this is a valid statement but this statement does not completely represent the modern chick. The yolk and its importance 

The hatchling is supposed to depend on the yolk for the energy and protein need, till it is housed and fed,which may take 24 or 36h.



The residual yolk lipid should be used for growth and not as an energy source for maintenanceas some fatty acids in the yolk lipid may inﬂuence the partitioning of nutrients and the pace of development of certain organs systems (Dibneret al., 1998)



The egg protein in the hatchling is partly albumen and a large fraction

is consists of antibodies. Under normal circumstances, maternal antibody is not digested during the incubation process, leaving these immune-globulins intact and fully functional at the time of hatch, indicating that the protein in the yolk sac is to be used for the passive immunity of the chicks and not as a source of amino acids. Yolk utilization 

Yolk lipid which is primarily composed of triglycerides and few amounts of phospholipids and this is the primary source of energy for developing embryos.



1 g of triglycerides is actually within the chick yolk sac at hatch which provide approximately 8 to 9 Kcal of ME and the maintenance energy re q u i re d of a 5 0 g c h i c k i s approximately 30 Kcal. Thus there is immediate energy need for both maintenance and growth.

Intestinal changes

After hatching proventriculus, gizzard and small intestine weight increases more rapidlythan body mass (Sklan, 2001). First 7 days represent approximately 17% of the growing period from an age stand point and 8 10 % of the growing period with respect to percentage of ﬁnal body weight. There is rapid enterocyte proliferation and differentiation (Geyra. et al., 2001) at this stage. Early chick feeding and functional development

The extensive changes in the morphological development of the gut occurs at hatch are differentiation of enterocytes, crypt deﬁnition, and enlargement of the absorptive surface of the intestine. These intensive changes are apparently dependent on the ﬁrst access to feed and are sensitive to delay in nutrient supply. Post hatch feeding can stimulate the intestinal villi growth and enterocyte differentiation and rapid growth of small intestine. Lack of nutrient decreased enterocyte proliferation and reduces villus size. Morphological examination of broiler chick held with no access to feed or water for 48 hr. showed reducedvilli growth. Villus height in the duodenum

ARTICLE was significantly reduced in broilers exposed to 24 hrs. fasting. The major reduction in villus size and enterocyte per villus was apparent some 5 to 6 days later (Swami, 2015). Pancreatic secretions Carbohydrates, lipid and protein reaching the intestine must be hydrolysed before uptake. During late embryonic development and at hatch, pancreatic enzyme activities are found in the small intestine. Feed intake stimulate these secretions dramatically which are noticed in the first week of life (Swami, 2015). Neonatal feeding can increase the total intestinal trypsin, amylase and lipase activities thatare correlated with intestinal weight and body weight stimulates the growth of pancreas and intestine with digestive and absorptive capacity of the intestine. Muscle development In avian species, numbers of skeletal muscle fiber formation is complete at hatch and skeletal muscle growth occurs rapidly thereafter. The first week post-hatch may be the most important time for muscle development, perhaps even more so for broiler strains selected for rapid growth and high meat yield(Halevy et al., 2000;Moss et al., 1964; Simmonds et al., 1964). Specialized myo-genic precursor cells found in the skeletal muscle, or satellite cells play a major role in skeletal muscle growth, determining later stage muscle development. Early protein intake / Early access to feed post- hatchStimulate protein satellite cells, Enhance satellite cells proliferation, Stimulate skeletal muscle growth in broilers(Swami, 2015).Fairchild et al.(2006)reported 7- 9 percentincreased breast meat in broilers than those held for 48 hrs. without access to feed and water. Immunity system Early nutrition may provide limiting

substrates for cell proliferation and differentiation. Feeding may affect synthesis of endogenous levels of hormones or other immunomodulators. The immune system starts to develop during the embryonic phase and continuous for the ﬁrst week after hatching. Feed provide nutrient for the growth and development of both primary and secondary lymphoid organs. The immune system of the hatchling particularly the mucosal immune system requires feed for rapid development. Early feeding was also associated with larger bursa weights and greater lymphocyte proliferation and with improved bird performance following a disease challenge. Residual yolk did not provide the required level of nutrition to fully support immune system maturation during the ﬁrst two days after hatch. It has been reported that delayed access to feed impairs not only intestinal development but also impairs d e ve l o p m e n t of g u t a s s o c i a te d lymphoid tissue (GALT) like bursa of fabricus, cecal tonsils and mackel's diverticulum. The GIT which is sterile at the time of birth undergoes exposure to different antigens through the passes of food. Thepassage through the GIT of food which is not sterile and contains many antigens will expose the bursa to a variety of antigens. The earlier the food passes through the GIT the sooner the proliferating stem cells will metenvironmental antigen which will help to create a wider antibodies.So delay in feed and water consumption directly suppress the immune system (Prabakar, 2015).

and subsequent three days. Then routine broiler ration-Pre-starter (411days) 23 CP, 3000 Kcal ME/kg, Starter (12-21 days) 22 CP, 3100 Kcal ME/kg, Finisher (22-42 days) 20 CP, 3200 Kcal ME/kg. 

The aim of using highly digestible ingredients is to pre-condition the chick such that it can digest until enzyme development matures. C h i c k s p ro v i d e d w i t h h i g h l y digestible ingredients have achieved a 7 day body weight of 200 g, as compared with 160 -170 g with conventional corn-soybean diets. This increase body weight is maintained through marketing age ( Rajendran ,et al. 2014).Birds fed with high density diet (25 per cent CP +3100 Kcal ME /kg) along with glucose and probiotic as early prestarter diet had the highest body weight from Second week (317.9 ± 6.4 g) to Fifth week (2042.8 ± 21.5 g) as compared to control group(Mahapatraet al. 2016).

The physical characteristics of the feed are also important, since bigger particle size or ﬁne powder will affect the feed intake and growth. Even though larger particle size is recommended for optimal gizzard development, in the ﬁrst week the ideal particle size should be between 400 to 600 µ for optimal feed intake and growth(Krabbe, 2000).

Feeding practices: In juvenile feeding Early pre-starter (0-3 days): Specially designed pre-starter feeds using highly digestible ingredients. A high and very high density diet of 25 and 27 per cent dietary crude protein respectively and 3100 Kcal ME/kg diet in hatcher tray

CARING OF POULTRY SHED water. Wash with detergent. Prepare caustic soda solution and leave it on floor overnight. For 1000 Sqft area (2 kg caustic soda in 200 lit water for kuccha floor and 1 kg per 200 lit on cemented floor is sufficient) A p o u l t r y f a r m e r ke e p s a l l h i s investment under a shed for 35-40 days and hygiene and Disinfection of this shed is of prime impor tance. Disinfection of shed in between flocks has been a big challenge for farmers since beginning of times and lack of awareness on this leads to clinical and subclinical diseases and economical losses in terms of mortality and poor feed conversion. This process can be done by many ways but the objective remains same, i.e. to eliminate maximum infectious agent, in lowest possible cost and use minimum hazardous procedures. I have tried to shed light on few practical & acceptable methods of doing it. This process is usually called shed ready and can be divided into following steps: A. Dry cleaning B.

Wet cleaning

C. White wash D. Insecticide and anticoccidial preventions E.

Curtain and equipment cleaning

Tank and pipeline cleaning

G. Terminal disinfection 1. Dry cleaning Make heaps of litter and spray 6-10% formalin on it and leave for few hours. Then remove and dispose it. Swipe through ﬂoor, grills and remove spider webs. Scratch and remove half inch soil and replace it with new soil in case of soil platform. Disinfect grills with Flame gun. Spray Malathion 6ml per lit (Taking personal safety precautions) to kill insects.

3. White wash for 1000 sqft area 100 lit water should be mixed with 25 kg lime powder, half kg bleaching powder, 2 litre kerosene and 2 lit formalin. This solution must be painted on floors, side walls and pillars up to 3 feet height using paint brush or broomstick. Use of gloves, mask and goggle is must in all these procedures. 4. To prevent coccidian infection spray 50gm per lit Salt solution on floor 5. To clean equipment's wear gloves and wash using detergent, water jet and 2 % caustic solution 6. Curtains must be washed with water and then soaked in 2% formalin preparation for 24 hours, then sundry. 7. Wash tank by scrubbing with brush and bleaching powder solution (0.5%) or hydrogen per oxide (5%) 8. To clean pipeline take water equal to pipeline capacity in tank. Make 20% solution using Acidifier or 10% solution using hydrogen peroxide. Run this through pipe line and hold in pipeline for 24 hours. Flushthrough pressure of water after 24 hours. Do not try this in presence of birds. 9. Terminal disinfection It can be done by two methods. A) Thermal fogging B) Fumigation A. Thermal fogging can be done using special machine. 2 liter terminal disinfectant (Like X-term) can be mixed in 3 lit water for

Dr. Paveen f o g g i n g o f 1000 Sqft. B . F u m i g a t i o n This is most common method, but possess some hazards, as the formaldehyde gas liberated is poisonous and hence utmost cautions should be taken. In this procedure, curtains are fitted. Whole shed is made humid by spraying water on surfaces. Per 1000 Sqft area, 1 kg potassium permanganate is taken in earthen pots and 2 lit formalin is added over it cautiously. After doing so, worker should immediately come out and seal shed. If shed is longer, always do it away from door first, then towards door and finally person would come out. Never put powder on liquid. Always liquid on powder. Keep shed closed until gas is leaked out or for 24 hours. After doing terminal disinfection by either of methods, spray a terminal disinfectant with long residual property (Aldehyde compounds) and seal farm. Open farm 48 hours before chick arrival and spray a continuous disinfectant having triple salt compound and keep shed open. Make arrangements of chick arrival. Most important aspect in all these is to ensure personal safety at all times.

Introduction Avian colibacillosis is an infectious disease of birds caused by Escherichia coli, which is considered as one of the principal causes of morbidity and mor tality, associated with heavy economic losses to the poultry industry by its association with various disease conditions, either as primary pathogen or as a secondary pathogen. It causes a variety of disease manifestations in poultry including yolk sac infection, omphalitis, respiratory tract infection, swollen head syndrome, septicemia, polyserositis, coligranuloma, enteritis, cellulitis and salpingitis. E. Colimultiplication time is very from 15 min to 1 hrs and a single E.Coli Can become 24 trillion in 24 hrs. Bioﬁlm in pipeline is a very good media for multiplication. Common sources/ sites for multiplication of E.coli 

The hatching environment that is not sufﬁciently humid is often associated with a high incidence of yolk sac infection.The delayed absorption of the yolk sac is a prerequisite for E.coli infections and peritonitis. At a later stage of the infection, the yolk content because of putrefactive necrotic, abdomen is bloated and entire abdominal wall is affected by a moist gangrene (maceration). If infection in the later stage of age

Yolk Sac infection/ mushy chick disease/omphalitis Early chick mortality may occur due to E.coli infection in which the mortality increases in the ﬁrst few days of ages. Infection occurs from egg shell contamination or open navel. Yolk sac infection can cause high mortality in a batch of chicks in the ﬁrst week of life, PM examination reveals septicemic picture, pericarditis, unabsorbed yolk sac. Yolk of abnormal color (brownish green) and consistency (watery or inspissated) and often of foetidodour.E.coli multiplies rapidly in the intestine of newly hatched chicks and infection spreads rapidly from chick to chick in the hatchery and brooders.



Affected birds will have depression, loss of appetite, disinclination to move and may be respirator y symptoms.



Birds with Colisepticaemia develop airsacculitis, perihepatitis and pericarditis with cloudiness of pericardial sac and light colouredﬁbrinous exudates.



Air sac disease (Chronic Respiratory Disease) causes thickened air sac and will have caseous exudates.



Soiling of vent with pasty diarrhoeicfaeces will be seen.

Panophthalmitis (inflammation of all tissues of the eyeball). Generally, it develops secondary to E. coli septicaemia and is usually unilateral. Ar thritis, Osteomyelitis and Osteonecrosis (inflammation of joints, bone marrow and bone necrosis, respectively). The lesions are a common sequel to E. coli septicaemia. Clinically, lameness, prolonged lying down, dehydration and retarded growth rate are observed. Some cases of E. colisepticaemia, accumulation of exudate between the superficial and deep pectoral muscles is observed.

Prevention and control The prevention of colibacillosis is generally based on management measures aiming to decrease infectious pressure and improving the housing conditions of birds. Such measures include: 



Infected excreta and litter should be disposed properly to avoid contamination of natural water sources and spread in the farm.



Avoid stress and overcrowding in the ﬂocks which favors outbreaks.



Birds should be procured from sources tested free of ND, IB, and Mycoplasma.



Diet with protein, selenium, and vitamin E may be favorable in control of colibacillosis.



Chlorination of drinking water inactivates the bacteria.



Use acidiﬁer with chlorine source in combination having good results to control of E. coliE. coli vaccine also developed with using Fimbrial antigen of the F11-type strain but uses of it at farms level still less or uncommon.

Farmer should go for Water Test for PH, TDS, E.Colicount and TBC(Total bacterial count)

Egg and hatcher y hygiene at breeder level to reduce vertical transmission

Referance

Breeder eggs should be fumigated or disinfected in the farm prior to their transportation in the storage premise Maintain adequate hygiene and biosecurity at breeder farm, hatchery, feed factory and broiler farms. Adequate ventillation, good quality litter etc. at broiler level



Vaccination of broilers against respiratory diseases



Beetles can transmit the bacteria when birds consuming these beetles get the infection so reduce these arthropods in farms.

“Japanese” method which requires good eyesight, nimble ﬁngers and a lot of experience for speed and accuracy. 1. Vent / cloacal method of sexing

Method of handling “Avian” is wide circle Duck, Emus, Geese, Guinea Fowl, Ostrich, Pheasants, Pigeon, Quail and Turkey. Poultry diversiﬁcation provides more avenues for income. One major problem currently facing diversiﬁed farmers is how to differentiate the sexes at an early age. There is a urgent need among the farmers to know different sexing methods to avoid sexing errors. Method of sexing It is possible to sex day old birds. The technique of sexing must be learned by special training and practical experience to do it accurately and quickly. The buyer can rear the female and male birds separately from start. At day old : chicken The male progeny is slow feathering and the female progeny rapid feathering. Slow feathering is sex-linked trait and at hatching, the primary wing feathers of the female chicks are relatively longer than the coverts feather. While in the males, the primaries wing feather are shorter than the coverts feather

Vent sexing involves holding day old chick's upside down in one hand and while usually examining the vent area for the presence or absence of rudimentary male sex organ. 2. Machine sexing It is done by using chick tester. The chick tester is a machine features a bluntended telescopic tube, containing a light. The instrument/sexer inserts the tube into the evacuated cloaca and with the help of the light can identify either testis or overies.

Vent showing male

3. Color sexing Some of the sex linked genes like silver/gold gene can also used as a method to identify sex of the chicks. When a female having S gene mated to a male having s gene produce offspring where the females have a darker, buff down color. Vent showing female

4. Feather sexing Some of the poultry breeds like New Hampshire and Rhode Island can be sexed by wing color at hatching. Male chicks have a white spot on the down over the wing web. This spot is lost when the chick down is shed and replaced with feathers. Method of handling of chick for sex examination

REDUCE CUSTOMS DUTY ON CHILLED & FROZEN SEA FOOD AND POULTRY TO 10% & 20% RESPECTIVELY : ASSOCHAM PLEA Apex industry body ASSOCHAM has urged the Union Government to reduce customs duty on chilled and frozen sea food from present level of 30 per cent to 10 per cent to bring down food inflation and satiate high demand for sea food in India. “Local fisheries will not get affected by imports because sea food availability in India is much lower than its demand,” highlighted ASSOCHAM in its prebudget memorandum (indirect taxes) submitted to the Centre. “High import duty makes it unviable to bring-in a variety of sea food products available globally which shall reduce food inflation tremendously and provide much-needed proteins to Indians at cheap cost,” said Mr D.S. Rawat, secretar y general of ASSOCHAM. The chamber has also suggested the Union Government to reduce customs 31

duty on chilled and frozen poultry meat (chicken) to 20 per cent for whole chicken and that in parts as it is unlikely to destabilise the Rs 40,000 crore Indian poultry industry because majority of Indian market prefers live poultry over frozen food. “Though chicken is a basic non-vegetarian food, but import duty on chicken products is as high as 100 per cent on its parts as such India is not able to import chicken,” highlighted the ASSOCHAM pre-budget recommendation. Considering that prices of chicken produced in India are mostly much higher than that in rest of the world as its cost is decided upon its production, ASSOCHAM has appealed that it should be based on international prices. “This shall have huge impact on food inﬂation,” it said.

Factors like growing affordability, rising health consciousness, increasing consumer awareness and with more women getting into jobs are together likely to boost demand for frozen chicken and sea food products. 

Cargill Invests USD 50 Million To Expand Poultry Processing In Thailand

argill is investing USD 50 million to expand its poultry processing operations at its facility in the NakhonRatchasima province in Thailand. The company said this expansion is due to an increase in customer demand and strong customer conﬁdence in the high quality and safety standards of the chicken products produced by Cargill in Thailand.

"Cargill has been in the Thai poultry industry for 25 years and has grown to become the leading exporter of fullycooked chicken products in the country. I attribute this to our uncompromising approach to food innovation, quality and safety, a talented and efﬁcient local workforce working in a strictly safe environment, and a close partnership with the Thai authorities.

Cargill's new building annexed to the current facility began construction on October 21, 2016 and is expected to start operations in Ql 2018. Cargill will engage several independent smallholder broiler farms in the local community to meet the demand for broiler.

"This expansion is thanks to the conﬁdence and trust our customers place in our products, our peopleand our commitment to deliver," said Hans Kabat, President of Cargill Protein Southeast Asia.

Meanwhile, theexpansion will create 1400 new jobs and add to the more than 13,500 employees that Cargill currently employs across 14 locations in the country

This was said as the company welcomed and hosted its Ross Asia Association members at the RitzCarlton Millenia Hotel in Singapore in early November. The highlight of the event was a celebration of Ross' 60 years of innovation and success. Welcoming guests, Bob Dobbie, President spoke about progress over the next 60 years. "While it's good to celebrate our history, it is just as important to plan for the future. Learning and progress are important because what we have learnt from the past decades has relevance and has resulted in profits today, not just for Aviagen but for our partners too." "Genetics and nutrition have led the agricultural revolution and producers have generously shared many of the benefits with consumers, while many more are working towards getting closer to achieving the genetic potential of their flocks." MrDobbie quantified thegains that producer s realise when genetic potential is achieved, saying this could amount to up to USD 1.5 million per week. Jan Henriksen, CEO later presented a review and outlook of Aviagen's operations. "The past 3-4 years have been good but we recognise a slowdown in the next 6-12 months, despite our global market share for Parent Stock," he said. The company has invested heavily in expansion and facilities to ensure reliable and quality supply, in addition to investing 11% of its annual turnover in R&D. "We have Great Grand Parent facilities in seven countries and Grand Parents in 28 countries. We need this 34

footprint to ensure consistent supply. In thepast, disease issues have prevented this," he said. "We need this because Aviagen sells performance and the owners are always keen on investment for better performance." Other speakers over the two days of the f o r m a l p ro g r a m w e re S a n t i a g o Avendano, Director of Genetics; Gregario Rosales, Poultry Health and Biosecurity Consultant; and Bryan Fancher, Vice President Global Technical Operations. Addressing developments in genetics, MrAvendano said that from 1956-1990 the company established a foundation for good genetics. In recent years, Aviagen has ventured into multienvironment selection to better represent the varying commercial environments, monitoring individual feeding behaviour, and studying FCR in challenged and optimal environments, just to name a few, with a view to select birds that deliver well in the complexities of the global commercial environment. Invited presenters included Rupert Claxton, Strategy Consultant with GIRA who spoke about global and Asian market trends; Brenda Bence who gave guests an enlightening walk-through of the power of the Ross brand and Olympic gold medallist and speed skater, Steven Bradbury who delivered an inspiration talk titled 'How to be the last one standing'. As in the past, the company hosted a welcome dinner as well as an exclusive 'celebration' dinner at the end of the ﬁrst day. At this dinner which was held at the Fuller ton Hotel, Aviagen acknowledged and presented awards to its long-standing partners in Asia among who were Nippon Chunky, Centaco, Tegel Foods, Cibadak , Steggles/Baiada, Sam Hwa Breeding and Fortune Taiwan.

The poultry industry is in crisis and a range of policy interventions are needed to address it, Department of Trade and Industry ofﬁcials told Mps on Wednesday

eputy director-general for trade XolelwaMlumbi-Peter and deputy director-general for industrial development Garth Strachan briefed Parliament's select committee on the problems the industry faces as a result of imports and high input costs, according to news websiteBusiness Day, Apart from the difﬁculties arising from impor ts, the drought had increased the cost of feed, which constitutes between 65 per cent and 70 per cent of total production costs, Strachan stressed that the poultry industry was critical to raising the level of growth of the manufacturing sector of the economy, Business Day said. The current pressures on the industry put the jobs of 1,300 workers in jeopardy as plants are closed or operations cut, The task force set up to deal with the problems faces the challenge of agreeing on a number of trade-offs in balancing different interests — such as industry protection, consumer prices, the effect on workers, increased investment by industry to enhance competitiveness, and transformation, The International Trade Administration Commission is investigating a further safeguard duty in addition to the provisional 13.9 per cent imposed on European Union bone-in chicken portions in December, which will persist until July 3.

Low feed and fuel prices and rising economic growth should mean a good year for the US poultry industry says international poultry economist Paul Aho, but uncertainty in trade relations with Mexico and Cuba could become a problem for exports of leg quarters

ndrew Amelinckx reports,We're in a sweet spot where economic growth is increasing demand and grain prices are lowering our costs,” Aho said on Wednesday during the Poultry Market Intelligence Forum at the International Production and Processing Expo in Atlanta, Georgia. But, he cautioned, the corn and soybean price cycles have nearly bottomed out and would eventually start rising, The USDA's forecast of a four per cent increase in poultry meat production this year doesn't have him worried about supply out stripping demand. Aho believes this forecast is consistent with the country's economic growth. He said while there is a lot more meat expected to come into the domestic market - ﬁve per cent more pork and three per cent more beef, along with the chicken - totalling about two billion more pounds, if economic growth continues the way it's going, demand for meat should meet the rise in supply, I don't see a problem with a lot more meat on the market this year,” he said. “If we assume that growth is going to continue, or perhaps even accelerate over the next few years, I think there's plenty of room for increased meat consumption in the US, One area of concern is in leg quarters, 35

where close to 70 per cent goes for export, with Mexico and Cuba being the two largest buyers. Mexico represents 25 per cent of the entire market, said Aho. Fears of a trade war between the US and Mexico have risen since P r e s i d e n t D o n a l d Tr u m p h a s threatened to rework the Nor th American Free Trade Agreement, The big unknown is Mexico. They are the number one buyer of US large leg quarters. They bought more than a billion pounds last year,” Aho said. “You want to treat customers like that very carefully. Cuba was second with 330 m i l l i o n p o u n d s . I c a n' t a s s u m e diplomatic relations with Mexico and Cuba are going to be great this year, but hopefully calmer heads will prevail and we will continue to have good relations with those two countries, In regard to eggs, Aho believes there will be “somewhat higher egg consumption” in the coming year. Egg consumption went down due to avian flu in 2015 and had a strong rebound in 2016 that led to a large drop in egg prices, but Aho feels prices will begin to recover this year, I believe the economic growth that we're seeing and will see in the next few years supports a robust chicken and turkey expansion,” said Aho. “If we remember to think globally and treat all of our trade partners gently, I think we'll all do fine, Michael Donohue, vice president of the statistical research and analysis firm Agri Stats, who also spoke at the Forum on Wednesday, was cautiously optimistic about this year. He noted that potential stumbling blocks included the possibility of bird flu outbreaks, losses of export markets, and the volatility of the commodities market, Some things that still cause me concern are that any outbreak of the bird flu in the US could take gains away in a heartbeat,” he said. “Any loss of export markets on leg quarters and increased feed ingredient costs - if the corn goes back to 125 bushels like we saw in 2012 - it could turn upside down really fast.

Controlling immunosuppressive diseases in poultry and how this relates to economic productivity in the industry was the theme of the Merial IBD Summit II held in Atlanta on Monday

he main purpose of this summit was to provide updated technical information to the industry worldwide about immunosuppression diseases in poultr y operations. It's a costly economic impact. It opens the door to respiratory and intestinal problems,” said Rafael Fernandez, Merial's director of technical veterinary services for Latin America (pictured above), The daylong

event titled 'Improving economic productivity by controlling i m m u n o s u p p r e s s i o n' , i n c l u d e d presentations from veterinarians and scientists from around the globe as well as workshops on incubation, vaccination, and ventilation, and poultry genetics. The ﬁrst summit was held in 2010, also in Atlanta, Fernandez s a i d i t 's i m p e r a t i v e t o c o n t r o l immunosuppressive diseases such as chicken anaemia virus, infectious bursal disease - also known as gumboro - and Marek's disease. These issues are really important to the industry as a whole, said Fernandez, as well as for Merial, which provides “the right vaccines to control these diseases, Initially, the summit was aimed at Merial's Latin American customers, but there was such a positive response to the program that they decided to open it up to everyone, requiring resources in both Spanish and English, and doubling

the attendance to 180 participants, he said, For me, the main message that we gave to our customers was to show that the protection of the immune system in poultry is really important. If you don't control the immune diseases you're not going to control other diseases in poultry. The immune system is the foundation. That's the key,” said Fernandez, The Summit was timed to c o i n c i d e w i t h t h e I n te rn a t i o n a l Production and Processing Expo also in Atlanta. Fernandez said the IPPE event gives Merial the chance to present its new innovations, equipment and vaccines and to give people a chance “see how the industry worldwide is growing, The recent acquisition of Merial by BoehringerIngelheim has been a smooth transition thus far, according to Fernandez, During these ﬁrst months I've been happy with the integration,” he said. “I feel it's going to be strong for our growth in the market.

Today we face an onslaught of articles and directives that deal with the use of antibiotics in a myriad of feed and water applications. This is in addition to the therapeutic applications usually administered by veterinarians

h e c o n c e r n o ve r a n t i b i o t i c resistance in a number of human applied antibiotics is gaining signiﬁcant attention in the medical community and with the consumers across the world. Consumers are demanding antibiotic free meat and milk products and are driving the changes that are taking place today on how we use these tools of health and production in livestock production systems, The USA is currently poised to implement a Veterinary Feed Directive which assigns veterinarians the responsibility to prescribe medications and antibiotics that are delivered through feed and water. This FDA mandate was scheduled to go 36

into effect in January 2017, In October 2014, the Government of Canada released Antimicrobial Resistance and Use in Canada: A Federal Framework for Action. The Framework maps out a coordinated, collaborative federal approach for responding to the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In a couple of years, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is also expected to qualify certain feed additives that will be regulated somewhere between drugs and feed ingredients. All of these efforts are intended to more judiciously manage the responsible use of antibiotics, We all can learn from the lessons of the European move to less reliance on antibiotics

about ten years ago. Problems that surfaced initially on complete removal of antibiotics from a prophylactic feed application, morphed into a more measured antibiotic application involving complete removal of growth promotion purpose coupled with complementary use of functional feed additives. Today a burgeoning feed additive market in Europe supports limited use of antibiotics and a safer f o o d p ro d u c t i o n e n v i ro n m e n t .

The move away from the use of antibiotics, especially as growth enhancers, driven by consumers and governmental regulators, will have a signiﬁcant impact on how the industry moves forward, said Charles Hofacre on Tuesday during his keynote lecture at the International Poultry Scientiﬁc Forum

art of the International Production and Processing Expo in Atlanta, Georgia. Andrew Amelinckx reports, US - The move away from the use of antibiotics, especially as growth enhancers, driven by consumers and governmental regulators, will have a significant impact on how the industry moves forward, said Charles Hofacre on Tuesday during his keynote lecture at the International Poultry Scientific Forum, par t of the International Production and Processing Expo in Atlanta, Georgia. Andrew Amelinckx reportsThe keys to success in what he calls a “brave new world” of raising poultry without antibiotics includes high chick quality, good husbandry practices, and most impor tantly, maintaining healthy gut flora in poultry, which touches on everything from feed efficiency (and the bottom line) to preventing necrotic enteritis — an acute bacterial infection — and controlling Salmonella levels, Everything we do going into this future is going to be about how to maintain good, healthy intestinal flora. A lot of it starts with the health of the intestine, r e s u l t i n g i n a h e a l t h y b r o i l e r,” HofacresaidHe said for more than fifty years the industr y used growth promoting antibiotics, which helped

prevent some necrotic enteritis, but now the industry is going to be relying on products like enzymes, prebiotics, probiotics, organic acids, inorganic acids, phytoceuticals, and immune stimulants and moderators, mainly in various combinations, to ﬁght this disease,The three things to prevent necrotic enteritis are to control intestinal epithelium damage, prevent Clostridium from growing like crazy, and maintain good healthy intestinal ﬂora, and if you can do that in this brave new world of poultry raised without antibiotics, then you'll be successful in preventing both clinical and subclinical necrotic enteritis, he said, Hofacre, who has been in the industry for more than 30 years, stressed that it would be up to the younger generation of scientists to discover the best ways to deal with a n i m a l w e l f a re , f o o d s a f e t y, antimicrobial stewardship and environmental regulations, which they should see as “opportunities to bring the poultry industry into this new way of doing business,Those of you much younger than me are going to have an exciting time learning to raise broilers, turkeys, and layers in a different climate, without easily accessible antibiotic usage,” he told the audience, which i n c l u d e d a n u m b e r of y o u n g e r scientists,I believe in the integrated poultry industry. I believe we are going to be highly successful with all these changes we've got coming. We will see some really novel research presented at this meeting in the next few years on how to be successful in this new world, he said
