The Indian poultry industry has strongly opposed moves to allow import of chicken legs from the United States after India lost its case in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) last year. The Business Standard newspaper reports that the Indian poultry industry fears a potential for huge imports of cheap chicken legs from the US after India lost its case against US imports at the World Trade Organisation in July last year. The WTO ruling to allow US poultry imports was effectively notified in July 2016, though no imports from US have yet started. In a letter recently written to the Ministry of Agriculture, the Poultry Federation of India has warned the government that the use of pig fat as a feed by US farmers could create religious disharmony in India. Mr. Ramesh Khatri, President of the Poultry Federation of India said that "we have written a letter to the government highlighting use of pig fat by chicken farmers in the United States. Import of chicken legs, therefore, might create religious disharmony in India. The government should not allow its import from the United States," said Indian poultry farmers have urged the government to create stringent guidelines for imports, Business Standard reports, including a ban on birds slaughtered more than three months ago, full declaration about use of high protein feed and not allowing birds fed with genetically modified (GM) corn and soya.

the collecting funnel. Avoid contamination of semen with faeces and feather.
Arun Bharathi
J. Tamizhkumaran
Artificial insemination is developed technique widely used in livestock. But at present, it is also used in poultry to improve the reproductive performance in heavy breeds like turkey and breeders. As male birds are heavier results in unsuccessful mating, artificial insemination is useful to overcome this problem.
massage technique of collection of semen. On first handling, bird may defecate but a 10 days scheduled handling on alternate days is sufficient to know whether or not they are responding to this technique.
Artificial insemination in birds involves 3 steps. It includes collection of semen from male birds, Dilution and evaluation of semen, and insemination of female birds. If the birds are inseminated within 30 minutes after collection of semen (neat semen), dilution of semen will be omitted. Collection of semen The first step in AI is manual collection of semen. Semen collection is started at 24 weeks of age of bird (4 to 6 weeks after sexual maturity). For obtaining clean neat semen, the male birds has to be trained. It is recommended that food to be withheld 4-6 hrs before collection of semen to avoid faecal contam-ination. Clipping the area around the vent is of considerable help in obtaining a clean semen without loss. It takes relatively short time to become accustomed to the 10
For semen collection, two persons are generally involved, one for restraining the bird and the other for collecting semen. The bird is held in a horizontal position by a person at a height convenient to the operator who is attempting to collect the semen. To collect semen the operator should place the thumb and index finger of the left hand on either side of the cloaca and massage gently. By his right hand the operator should hold a collecting funnel and with the thumb and index finger massage the sof t par t of abdomen below the pelvic bones. Massage should be rapid and continuous until the cock protrudes the papilla from the cloaca (In ducks, Muscovy ducks and goose, the phallus will be protruding up to 20cm length and screw like in anticlockwise direction). Once the papilla is fully protruded, the previously positioned thumb and index finger of the left hand are used to squeeze out the semen into
The male birds should be handled three times weekly on alternated days to obtain maximum volumes / collection. Semen evaluation at the time of collection The normal colour of the semen is Pearly white or cream coloured. Yellow semen and semen contaminated with blood, urates, faeces or other debris should be avoided. If debris or contaminants are observed in pooled semen, carefully aspirate contaminates from the sample before mixing with additional diluent with the semen. Place the diluted semen in a cooler or refrigerator (3 to 12 oC) to cool down. Sometimes the semen is evaluated for motility of sperm, sperm count, percentage of dead and live sperm, etc. Semen dilution Semen dilution is not always practiced in case of poultry. Dilution can be made at 1-2°C at 1:2 or 1:4 ratio with 1 ml Normal saline / Beltsville poultr y semen extender/ Lake poultry semen extender/ Phosphate buffer saline diluents. Dilution is done at the site of semen collection and hen is inseminated immediately. Take 0.05ml (50µl) of diluted semen which will have 100 million sperm, inseminate it into the hen's vagina. With this, 1ml of semen can be used for inseminating 40 hens. POULTRY PLANNER | MARCH - 2017

Time of insemination
Volume of ejaculation of semen
Insemination should be carried out once all the birds laid eggs, since the egg shell in the lower of oviduct hinders the movement of sperm and reduce the fertility. In case of chickens and turkey, hens lay eggs till afternoon by that time the oviduct will be empty, so it should be inseminated after 3 pm in chickens and after 5 pm in turkey.
0.75 to 1ml -- Heavy breed male
Insemination Insemination should be done within half an hour to one hour of collection or as early as possible, that too the semen should be kept at refrigeration temperature till it is inseminated. Semen is loaded in hypodermic or tuberculin syringe or a medicine dropper which is used for insemination. Abdomen of the female is pressed to expose a degree of vent region. The constricted opening of vagina will be seen at the left side of the averted cloaca. The inseminating equipment is introduced about 2.5 cm into the vaginal opening and deposit the semen.

3.
In AI, single male's semen will be useful to inseminate more number of females. Only less number of male is needed thereby reducing the cost of maintaining more number of male birds and improve the proďŹ tability of the Breeder farm. Progeny testing and controlled breeding is made easier with higher accuracy. Accurate pedigreeing is possible. For old, heavy males (as in case of turkeys) and proven sire with physical deformities like lameness which is unable to mate can contribute to the next generation by AI.
4.
It is suitable for species hybridization like mule duck (female ducks inseminate with Muscovy drakes semen) and hybridization between two different species also possible. Eg. Chicken-quail hybrids.
5.
In cage system of rearing, only option to get fertile egg is AI. It will be possible to follow male separate feeding which will improve semen quality and volume.
Duck: 0.03ml, once in every 5 days Goose: 0.05ml for every 7 days

7.
Breeder males can be pretested and quality of semen can be evaluated before insemination thereby increase the fertility.
8.
Preferential mating is avoided.
9.
Problems of trap-nesting are avoided.
Advantages of AI
Chicken: 0.05ml, once in a week
Concentration of semen during insemination: 100 million cells per insemination. From one ejaculation, 520 hens can be inseminated as poultry semen be highly concentrated contains 3 to 8 billion spermatozoa per ml of semen.
Semen can be transported to a moderate distance. In future, s e m e n d i l u t i o n a n d s to r a g e techniques will improve, making it possible for the creation of long and short term storage semen banks from sires with desirable traits.
0.4 to 0.6ml -- Light breed male
Frequency of insemination
Turkey: 0.025ml, once in every 2 weeks
6.
10. Incidence of sexually-transmitted diseases is avoided. Disadvantages 1.
Requires more labour. They should be highly skilled and well trained.
2.
Chances of cross contamination of birds through the inseminating equipment. Spread of disease is faster.
3.
Frequent handling of birds.
4.
Requires specialized breeder cages.

TOXICITY OF NITRATE AND NITRITE IN LIVESTOCK : A CONCERNING THREAT TO ANIMALS Amit Shukla, Shashi Ranjan, Arvind Sharma Natural Herbs and Formulations, Dehradun
Plants
Red root, oats, turnip, Chenopodium and maize are a few examples of nitrate containing plants. Plant factors Under certain soil and environment conditions, plants can contain high levels of nitrates. Factors that facilitate uptake of nitrate by plants include
Dr. Amit Shukla In the natural c o n d i t i o n s durin g the scarcity period as in cases of drought the livestocks are accidently encounter with nitrate or nitrite poisoning due to increased concentration of these in plants. As in drought, the amount of nitrate in the pedological system can increase because of lack of leaching and reduced nitrate uptake by plants. When a drought breaks, nitrate uptake by plants may be high, especially after first week post rain session. If hungry animals are allowed to such plants in liberty they may be suffered from nitrate/nitrite poisoning. Nitrates and nitrite are close congener of causes of toxicity. Nitrite is 6-10 times more potent as a toxicant than nitrate. Nitrate is generally irritant to the alimentary canal mucosa, kidney and urinary tract. When feed containing nitrate is eaten by ruminant animals, nitrate is converted to nitrite, and then to ammonia, by rumen microbes. Nonruminant animals are unable to do this. Nitrites are much more toxic. These are formed from nitrates during ruminant digestion and may also occur if stored plant materials heat up. SOURCES OF POISONS
14
Heavy use of nitrogen-containing fertilisers;
Low level of sulphur and molybdenum in soil
Low soil pH
Excessive rain
Low soil temperature
Draught
Persistent froth
Hypovitaminosis A
Nitrate concentrations are usually higher in young plants and decrease as plants mature. Most of the plant nitrate is also located in the bottom third of the stalk, hence the leaves contain less nitrate and the flowers or grain contain little to no nitrate. Animal factor
Animals that are stressed or in poor health or condition will also be more s u s c e p t i b l e to n i t r a te / n i t r i te poisoning.
MECHANISM OF ACTION OF TOXICITY
Interaction of nitrite to haemoglobin: 1 mole of nitrite reacts with 2 mole of haemoglobin and produces the methemoglobin (metHb). This metHb has reduced or very less capacity of carrying oxygen to tissues. This ultimately leads to tissue hypoxia.
Clinical signs of toxicity occur when 20 % haemoglobin is converted to met Hb.
Death will occur if 80% met Hb is formed in the body.
Clinical Signs Of Poisoning: Clinical Signs of nitrate poisoning includes: Salivation, Abdominal cramps, Nausea, Vomition, Gastro intestinal disturbances including diarrhoea. Clinical signs of nitrite poisoning usually appear after 6–24 hours of ingestion of toxicant. These include
Difficult breathing
Bluish discoloration of unpigmented area and mucus membranes
Species Animal’s susceptibility to the toxicity of nitrite is as follows:
Rapid pulse
Chocolate brown coloured blood
Pigs> cattle> sheep>horses
Staggering gait
Poisoning due to nitrate occurs only after its conversion into nitrite.
Ruminant animals receiving carbohydrate-rich fodders tolerate high nitrate and nitrite levels better than those that are not. This is because energy from carbohydrates (grain) helps rumen microbes convert nitrite to ammonia.
Abortions – pregnant females that survive nitrate/nitrite poisoning may abort due to a lack of oxygen to the foetus; abortions usually occur 10–14 days after exposure to nitrates
Weakness, convulsions, death.
Diagnosis Diagnosis is based on:
History of draught, toxic plants and

fodder quality and variety
Treatment
Clinical signs;
Urgent veterinary help is required to treat the patient.
Preventing access to high-risk weeds,
Post-mortem findings includes
Prevention
Dark red or chocolate brown blood that clots poorly;
Remove the suspected materials as early as possible.
Not fed green chop that has heated after cutting
Petechial haemorrhages in visceral organs
Accumulation of blood in the stomach wall.
Hay or some other low- nitrate herbage should be fed to dilute the nitrate and/or nitrite in the stomach.
Harvesting close to maturity and after 10 days of rain preferably in the later part of day.
Antidote Intoxicated animals can be treated by intravenous injections of 1 % methylene blue w/v in isotonic salt solution @ 8.8 mg/kg body weight in sheep and cattle and @ 4.4 mg/kg in other species.( Methylene blue converts the methaemoglobin back to oxygen-carrying haemoglobin) .
Repeat the treatment after 6-8 hours interval.
In addition ascorbic acid can also be given @ 5-20 mg/kg body weight by intravenous route.
Laboratory tests
Diphenylamine spot test is used for the diagnosis of nitrite poisoning.
Serum positive results suggest the concentration of nitrite is more than 20µg/ml.
16
From the dead animal the ocular fluid should be taken and if the concentration of nitrite is more than 50 µg/ml then it is the indicative of nitrite poisoning.

Effect of Supracid Dry (Acidifiers) on the Growth Performance of Commercial Broilers Dr.C.Seenivasan, Ph.D Zonal Manager- Technical, Vetline, Indore, India
Abstract A study was undertaken to observe the effect of feed additive, Supraciddry (Acidifiers) in commercial broilers. In this experiment, 10200 one day old broilers were randomly divided into two sheds (5100 birds each). One group as a treatment and other group kept as control. The basal dietswere fed to broilersfor a period of 45 days. The performance parameters like body weight gain, daily weight gain, feed intake, EPEF and EBI were higher in treatment group compared with control. The mortality and FCR were lower in the treatment group. From this study, it was observed that net saving of using Supraciddryas a feed acidifier was 0.19INR per live kg production cost compared with control group. Introduction Feed additives are of great interest in the poultry industry due to their property to promote the growth performance. Common feed additives used in poultry diets include antimicrobials, emulsifiers, antioxidants, toxin binders, enzymes, probiotics, liver powders and mould inhibitors. Feed Acidifiers which are natural growth promoters, are acids included in feeds in order to lower the pH of the diet, gut, and microbial cytoplasm thereby inhibiting the growth of pathogenic intestinal microflora (Banupriya et al. 2016). Acidifiers can be in organic or inorganic acids or associated salts and added to the poultr y feed to exer t their antimicrobial action both in the feed and in the GI-tract. Organic acids have been identified as best alternative to antibiotic growth promoters by optimising the pH of gut, increasing the digestibility of the several minerals and

thus increase the economic per formance of poultr y(Krishan andNarang, 2014).Supraciddry is a unique propriety of blended buffered organic acids like Formic, Proponic, Acetic, Benzoic, Citric and their salts that play a role of feed and gutacidicifiers. In the present study was undertaken to determine the effect of Supraciddry on the growth performance of Commercial Broilers. Trail design The study was conducted inNutrila Feeds,Paripally, Kerala, South India in a commercial broiler farm with capacity of 10200 birds divided into two sheds. Both the groups were fed with a common ration except the feed acidifiers (Supracid dry, Vetline, Indore, India), which was added at the rate of 1kg/1000kg of feed based on the recommendations. Management, medications and all other farming practice followed were the same in both groups. The birds were culled at 45 days of age. The performance parameters like daily weight gain, body weight gain, feed intake, FCR, mortality, European production efficiency factor and European broiler index were calculated.
Table: 1. Trail design

Prebiotics: A safe alternative to achieve maximum growth By Dr. Rahul Sawarkar, Technical Manager Poultry gut health management is an important concern for the industry. An enteric disease causes huge losses like productivity loss, i n c re a s e d m o r t a l i t y, a n d contamination of products for human consumption. To counter the problem, antibiotics have been used in animal feed since a long time for both improved animal performance and reduced medication costs. However, in the recent years there have been increasing concerns about the risk of developing antibiotic resistance in both humans and livestock because of the heavy use of antibiotics in livestock. European Union has already banned use of antibiotics in feed since 2006 and many other nations will follow suit. This has propelled nutritionists and feed manufacturers to search for new and safe alternatives. Three primary alternatives have been studied: acidification of the feed by organic acids, feeding probiotic organisms and feeding prebiotic compounds. Among the mentioned alternatives, feeding prebiotics has been an upward trend in the industry. Prebiotics are defined as a nondigestible food ingredient that beneficially affects the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of bacteria in the colon (Gibson and Roberfroid, 1995).In simpler terms, prebiotics are used by good bacteria like lactobacillus as a substrate for energy thereby increasing the growth of these good 22
bacteria. Besides acting as a substrate, prebiotics have also been shown to stimulate the immune system, prevent colon cancer, and prevent colonization of the intestinal tract by pathogens such as Salmonella enteritidis and E. coli. Considering the many choices available in the market, one needs to know the characteristics of an ideal prebiotic:
It should not be hydrolyzed or absorbed in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract.
It should be a selective substrate for the beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria and thus improve the gut environment.
It should induce systemic effects that are beneficial to the host's health.
It should have a known structure and composition, which can be documented.
It should be palatable as food ingredient and large scale processing must be easy.
Advantages of prebiotic supplementation Favourable effects of addition of prebiotics are reflected as follows:
I m p ro v e d g u t h e a l t h w i t h i m p ro v e m e n t i n i n te s t i n a l microbial balance.
Improved performance of birds.
Enhanced nutrient utilization (eg, amino acids and proteins) as a result of improved gut health.
Reduced environmental pollution.
Production costs are reduced.
Mechanism of actions of prebiotic The beneficial effects of prebiotics are seen as a result of direct binding to the pathogens or increasing the osmotic value in the intestinal l u m e n . P re b i o t i c s a l s o a f f e c t indirectly through production of metabolites by intestinal flora when utilizing prebiotics for their own metabolism. One of the most commonly used prebiotic compounds includes mannanoligosaccharides (MOS). MOS is obtained from yeast cell wall (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and has all the characteristics of an ideal prebiotic. It reduces colonization of Salmonella in the chickens' intestine, increases the number of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, and decreases E. coli in the caecum and small intestine. MOS has also been observed to alleviate Salmonella induced necrosis of cecal mucosal epithelium, enhance the length of ileal microvilli and increase the surface area for digestion and absorption of nutrients. Yeast cell wall (like Nutriferm-YCW) in addition to MOS also contains βglucans which acts as an immunomodulator and helps to improve the overall immune status of the immune-compromised birds. Thus, by adding prebiotics like yeast cell wall to poultry diets, producers can minimize the use of antibiotics and hence drug resistance to bacteria while improving overall health of the bird.

GUT HEALTH CARD - A MEASURE OF ASSIMILATION IN BROILER CHICKEN - Huvepharma SEA (Pune) Pvt. Ltd.
As we all know, feed is a costly affair in broiler farming, which contributes to almost 70% of the total cost of farming. So assimilation of feed to food (feed to broiler meat) is the most important factor for a profitable business module. For good assimilation, many factors are responsible like
Selection of raw material, their qualitative assessment & anti nutritive factors
Physiology of birds, which can be indicative of motion and movement of birds
Gut health is a really important factor for improved performance, as nutrients assimilation takes place in the intestine with the help of enzymes & other physiological activities. Anything that impairs the gut function will dramatically affect the performance of the bird, thus the economics. There are many other conditions that can cause damage to gut health like viral enteritis, toxins, ANF, bacterial infection &protozoal infestation, out of which birds are vulnerable to Coccidiosis as most of the time, Coccidiosis is found in subclinical form & is an important predisposing factors for a number of enteric bacteria, par ticularly Clostridia, lead to Dysbacteriaosis and necrotic enteritis. We all know that Coccidiosis is a managemental disease (as one part of Eimeria maxima infection observed in broiler
their life cycle takes place in litter material) & a self-limiting disease (as infection will limit itself within 7 days of lifespan). Therefore, proper diagnosis and monitoring of Coccidiosis becomes foremost impor tant to control Coccidiosis& subsequent economical losses. It has been well discussed in a number of scientific forums that morbidity losses due to Coccidiosis were far higher than mortality due to their subclinical infestation. So this requires proper diagnos tic and monitoring tools like
Faecal observation (can be possible in E. tenella)
maxima&E. tenella respectively, bursalhealth, respiratory health where trachea & air sacs are scored, stomach health-proventriculus& gizzard are scored, intestinal health-tonicity, mucus deposition, feed passage, degree of Infection & necrotic enteritis are scored&analysed in detail.
OPG-oocysts per gram of faeces
Pre requisite
AST (to check prevalence of Eimeria species &Coccidiostat efficacy)
Lesion scoring techniqueAirsaculitis lesion scoring observed during lesion scoring
3-5 randomly healthy live birds at the age of 23-28 days are sacrificed from one farm; number of birds or farms may vary depending upon prevalence trend in previous birds or farms.
First three techniques have some limitations and lead to wrong interpretation, while lesion scoring technique is best adapted to deal with the above problem and gives correct prognosis.
Birds should be selected at the age of 23-28 days, as prevalence of all major Eimeria species is found at this age. Therefore, it is necessary to check the threshold of same.
Lesion scoring technique
Birds need to sacrifice–as in dead birds (mortality), saprophytic bacteria which are intestine may decompose organic material and form gas which may leads to miss diagnosis.
This technique was designed by JOHNSON and REID (1970) with the scores ranging from a scale of 0 (no gross lesion) to 4 to excess prevalence and virulence of Eimeria species in the bird's intestine & get an understanding about coccidiosis problems. However, after continuous research and field observation, HUVEPHARMA has adopted a new technique based on Johnson & Reid's lesion scoring system which gives a score card of total gut health. Different parts of intestine, respiratory system & immune organs were scored either to conclude about the gut health of birds. Parameters studied Prevalence of Eimeriaacervulina, E.

Ballooning of intestine observed due Eimeria maxima infestation
Parameter studied Since the above said technique is a slightly modified version of Johnson & Reid lesion scoring technique, it gives a brief idea about prevalence of Eimeria species quantitatively along with common consequences like intestinal tonicity, necrotic enteritis & parameters reflecting degree of infection. Even respirator y health, along with morphology of immune organs can be very well monitored with thorough & quantitative morphological changes in respective organs.

Driving this expansion are a combination of Dr. Isfaq factors like growth in per c a p i t a income of people, a g r o w i n g urban population and n o s o c i a l taboo for poultry meat or egg.The growth of poultr y consumption is helped by its healthy nutritional qualities, efficiency in meat production, requiring less land than other meats and shorter life cycles. Poultry also benefits from production centers close to richer urban markets. India is the third-largest egg producer after China and USA and the fourthlargest chicken producer after China, Brazil and USA. The per capita eggs consumption has gone up from 30 to 68 and the chicken from 400 gm to 2.5 kg. Human nutritionists recommend 180 eggs & 10 kg chicken per year. Most of the countries consume over 240 eggs and 20 kg of chicken. Poultry consists of generally three categories namely Fowls, Ducks and Turkey & others. According to 19th livestock census the total poultry population in the country has increased by 12.39% over the previous census. The poultr y population in the country has reached to 1.23 billion in 2016. According to the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries (DAHDF), total meat production stood at 59.5 lakh tonnes, of which poultry contributed 2 6 . 8 l a k h to n n e s , w h e re a s E g g production in India is around 73.89 billion.Poultry is the most organised sector in animal agriculture, worth rupees one lakh crores. The growth is 6-
26
8% in layers and 10-12% in broilers per year against the growth of agriculture as a whole which is around 2.5%. The population has increased but still many Asian countries have arelatively low per capita poultryconsumption – less than one quarterof that in the United States and halfthat of the European Union. Consumption in China averages 11.6 kg/person/year and the Philippines 9.9 kg, compared with 47.5 kg in the US and 43.5 kg in Saudi Arabia.On the Indian sub-continent there is even more scope for higher consumption with Sri Lanka averaging 4.9 kg, Pakistan 4.3 kg and India only 2.3 kg. The poultr y sector in India has undergone a paradigm shift in structure and operation. A significant feature of India's poultry industry has been its transformation from a mere backyard activity into a major commercial activity. This transformation is due to intensive investmentsand innovative techniques in breeding, hatching, rearing and processing. Farmers in India have moved from rearing non-descript birds to today rearing hybrids such as is Hyaline.These hybrids have higher feed consumption efficiency and lesser feed
conversion ration cum higher growth rate. Beingagrarian economy and secular country poultry is a promising source of animal protein to the people other than beaf, mutton, chevon and pork which have a social taboo.There is a significant variation in the industry across various regions of India. The four southern states-Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, account for about 45 percent of the country's egg production, with a per capita consumption of 57 eggs and 0.5 kg of broiler meat. Eastern and central regions of India account for about 20 percent of country's egg production, with a per capita consumption of 18 eggs and 0.13 kg of broiler meat. Northern and western regions of the country record much higher figures than the eastern and central regions with respect to per capita availability of eggs and broiler meat. The organized sector produces an estimated 80 percent of total chicken meat production, and is mainly concentrated in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and West B e n g a l . T h e l i ve p o u l t r y m a r ke t constitutes 90 to 95 percent of total

ARTICLE sales since most consumers prefer freshly culled chicken meat. According to industry sources, processed chicken meat production is around five to ten percent of total production. In last decade the concept of vertical integration has been introduced in poultr y rearing. Many broiler enterprises have vertically integrated their operations (also called integrators), especially in southern and western India (approximately 70 percent of total chicken meat production). In the integrator model, Integrators own all the hatcheries, feed mills, and slaughter facilities, and contract with multiple smaller farmers (one integrator may have as many as 20,000 contracted farms) who raise the chicks to slaughter weight primarily in open air sheds. Some integrators also provide credit, extension services, and veterinary medicine. At the end ofthe production cycle, the live birds either are purchased by the integrators for slaughter and furtherprocessing, or by a middle m a n / w h o l e s a l e r, eventually arriving at a live bird wet market for local sale. Cobb is the most widely raised broiler that constitutes at least 65 percent of total broiler market. The grandparent stock for Cobb is owned by only one major enterprise that sells parent stock to multiple integrators throughout India. The Cobb breed is generally preferred since it is can withstand temperature fluctuations. Other breeds in India include Ross, Marshall, Hubbard, Hybro Avian and Anak. Among the layers the Babcock layer breed constitutes about 80 percent of the market share however, other breeds include Lohman, Bovans and

Hyline.Venkateshwara Hatcheries (VH) group is the only domestic entity to have Pureline breeding. The group started with an imported Pureline breed in 1970s (Vencobb for broiler and BV 300 for layer) and has invested significantly over the years to make it suitable for Indian weather conditions. In poultry rearing the feed costs about 65-70 percent of the production cost. I n d u s t r y s o u rc e s e s t i m a te f e e d consumption from 17 to 18 million tons, which includes corn (12 million tons), soybean meal (4 million tons), and pearl millet, broken wheat, and broken rice.

four decades. This transformation has involved sizeable investments in breeding, hatching, rearing and processing. Farmers in India have moved from rearing non-descript birds to today rearing hybrids, which ensure faster growth, good livability, excellent feed conversion and high profits to the rearers. The industry has grown largely due to the initiative of private enterprise, minimal government intervention, considerable indigenous poultry genetics capabilities, and support from the complementary veterinary health, poultry feed, poultry equipment, and poultry processing sectors. India is one of the few countries in the world that has put into place a sustained Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) egg production project. Challenges Faced By Poultry Industry Poultry being one of the fastest growing segments of the agricultural sector but still faces a number of problems that hampers its pace of development. Major challenges are enumerated as
farm. The feed industry is evolving from being a fragmented sector to an organized one with integrated poultry players having their own feed mills though still sizeable production happens in home mixers and unorganized sector. Maize is the primary source of energy for the Indian poultry industry and constitutes 60% of compound feed, while soybean is the main source of protein and forms 3035% of the feed.India has reached poultry feed requirement of 32 million metric tonne (MMT) per year. A significant feature of India's poultry industry has been its transformation from a mere backyard activity into a major commercial activity in just about
High feed costs Feed cost is probably one of the most serious challenges for the industry currently. Deficiency of concentrates and simultaneous competition from the humans increases the price for major ingredients like maize, soyabean etc. Price of soybean meal, the major and only source of protein has increased about 75%, which has forced the feed manufacturers to comprise in terms of diet given to birds. High feed costs, inadequate cold chain and transportation infrastructure, high vulnerability to disease outbreaks during storage and shrinking cultivation land are

D i s e a s e o u t b re a k s F re q u e n t disease outbreaks and improper implementation of bio-security programs is a major challenge. In addition, diseases of metabolic origin including ascites and skeletal disorders are also important. Avian influenza is another issue that has devastating effect on Indian poultry, and it still continues to haunt the sector due to low demand and less exports. Poultr y Safety and welfarerelated issues Safety of poultry products for human consumption and poultry welfare-related issues such as banning the use of conventional cages at layer farms. Lack of comprehensive regulating authority to maintain hygiene and g r a n t i n g of l i c e n s e s to s u c h businesses. Inclusion of antibiotics in poultry feed Issues surrounding inclusion of antibiotics in poultry feed and also the use of alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters. Increasing antibiotics levels in poultry products are creating long lasting harmful effects like drug resistance in people and development of super bugs. Nutrition-related environmental issues Excretion of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in the manure leads to unnecessary wastage of protein sources. Efforts are done to minimize nitrogen loss without compromising growth and production.
rearing country birds in the past to rearing hybrids which ensure faster growth of chicks, higher eggs per bird, increased hatchability, low mortality rates, excellent feed conversion and consequently sustainable profits.
Limited Access to the Core Markets It is all because of the limited access to the worldwide markets which is barrier in the way of these farmers. As they get little return on what they sale, so they never try to improve the quality of the poultry products and arms. Various significant improvements can be made in these production systems through the use and i m p l e m e n t a t i o n of t h e m o s t advanced and scientific practices.
Disparity in distribution There is disparity between states and hence an impairment in growth of the sector. About 60% of the egg production comes from Andhra Pradesh. Commercial poultr y farming yet to make a mark in states like Odisha, Bihar, MP, Jammu and Kashmir and Rajasthan. This disparity has resulted in uncertainty in sector.
Shortage of human resources The development in the sector is going at low pace because of the absence of veterinarians, researchers, in areas where expertise knowledge is required.
I m p l e m e n t a t i o n of m o d e r n technology Indian poultry sector is still unable to tap the benefit of international market. Lack of adequate cold storage is the major factor affecting poultry sector in India.Majority of the production is by unorganized farms which is another threat faced by sector.
Inadequate investments Developing efficient distribution system with large investments required in cold chain infrastructure and increasing market acceptability of frozen chicken are going to be the key industry drivers in long term.
Conclusion
Increased hatchability Farmers in the countr y have moved from
Poultr y industr y has potential of generating employment and increasing
the income of small and marginal farmers.The changing dietary pattern due to globalization and recent beef ban laws by several state governments has driven the demand and provides a window of opportunity. However if this potential is to be realized overcoming the challenges is must. The framing of policy to regulate use of antibiotics, setting standards with quality regards, introduce genetic engineering to produce heat resistant and high yielding species are some of the solutions.However while framing such policies all stakeholders must be consulted and holistic and comprehensive approach adopted.Some investment is now being made in many countries and proper steps are being taken to ensure the introduction of scientific research, such as, Technical Training and Assistance for the Farmers, Implementation of New Policies etc.The demand of eggs and poultry meat is increasing along with the increase in consciousness among the masses for quality products. The 'quality ' of products has to be improved. India has technically qualified manpower, a strong private poultry sector and financial credit institutions. There is a considerable scope in investments in all aspects of poultry namely breeding, feeding, housing and management, health control and, processing and marketing of products both for the domestic as well as export market. The foreign investors should seek collaborations with Indian entrepreneurs. The foreign research and development institutes need to collaborate with Indian counterparts like Indian council of agricultural research, central avian research institute, and other Agricultural Universities etc. The international donors need to collaborate with Government of India for harnessing the actual potential of poultry industry in India.

FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF AN EGG Rabi Ranjan Naik M.V. Sc. Scholar, Department of Livestock Products Technology, Madras veterinary college, TANUVAS, Chennai – 600007 Corresponding author: rabiranjann.g@gmail.com
example of functional properties can be seen in Table -1.
The functional properties of an egg are those physical and chemical properties, which affect the behavior of an egg in food systems during storage, processing, preparation and consumption. It is these characteristics, which influence the quality and organoleptic attributes in food. The functional properties of an egg are affected by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The intrinsic factors are: shape, size, amino acid composition and sequence, the distribution of net charges, the ratio between h y d r o p h o b i c i t y / h y d r o p h i l i c i t y, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures of the egg as well as the egg's c a pa c i t y to i n te r a c t w i t h o t h e r components in the food system. The extrinsic factors that affect the functionality of an egg are: pH, temperature, moisture, chemical additives, mechanical processing, enzymes and ionic strength. There are proteins that are associated with specific functional properties, such as egg proteins with coagulation, or soy proteins for their use in forming food gels. Some
In order to evaluate if an egg is applicable and suitable in certain food systems and food products, it is important to characterize the functionalities of the eggs. For the eggs must possess or contribute characteristics that are appropriate in interaction with other food components (e.g. water and lipids) or be suitable for processing. The functional properties that are required from an egg vary with different food applications and food systems. The functional proper ties that are associated with hen's egg in food a p p l i c a t i o n s a re : s o l u b i l i t y, emulsification, foaming and gelling whichare the four functional properties that are going to be discussed more in detail in this study. Egg protein Hen eggs are used as a key ingredient in a variety of food products. Eggs can be used as a whole, as yolk or as white fraction. Egg possesses good functional properties, good nutritional value, as well as good sensory characteristics that all are of big importance for food applications. One drawback with consuming eggs is their high content of cholesterol. One egg contains 200 mg cholesterol, and according to American Hear t Association (2013), should the consumption of egg not exceed the guidelines of 2 eggs a day. It is also stated that one of the most common food allergies is egg protein allergy, which also is a drawback, and a reason for not consuming eggs. Eggs are said to be “polyfunctional”, i.e. they contribute with more than one functional property at the same time. It

is important to fully understand the functional properties of egg proteins in order for the food industry to be able to develop new food products. Not until recently, the functional properties of eggs have been researched. This probably has to do with the complicated structure and composition of the egg. While the protein composition and structure of egg white has been widely researched, egg yolk has not got that much attention. Hen eggs consist of 12-13% protein (by weight) that is present in the egg membrane (4% protein), egg white (12% protein) and egg yolk (31% protein). Eggs are used in foods like mayonnaise, salad dressing, baked goods, noodles and ice cream, and it is the four major functional properties of the egg that have made this possible. Egg white The egg white consists of 10 - 15% protein and 85% water and there are 40 different proteins found in the white. The egg white is built up by four layers with similar protein composition, except of higher content of ovomucin in the more viscous layers. There are six major proteins of hen's egg white, which all varies in content (Table- 2).
Egg yolk Egg yolk has lower protein content and higher fat content compared to egg white, with a protein content of 31.2% and a fat content of 15.3%. Egg yolk is an emulsion where the continuous phase

by the composition, as well as the concentration of the interfacial film. It is the protein components in egg yolks that make them good emulsifiers. These proteins are lipoproteins (LDL and HDL), phospholipids and the proteins phosvitins and livetins, where lowdensity lipoproteins (LDL) are the most important ones for food emulsions.
consists of livetin and riboflavin-binding protein (RBP) while the dispersed phase contains both low-density lipoprotein (LDL) as lipovitellinins, and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) as lipovitellins and phosvitin. Functional properties of egg white and egg yolk protein Solubility Gomes and Pelegrine (2012) reported that egg white protein solubility was affected by both pH and temperature changes. A minimum solubility was s h o w n a t 6 0 ° C , d u e to p ro te i n coagulation. In a study on egg white solubility at different pH and NaCl concentrations, it was reported that maximum solubility was shown at pH 9.0 and minimum at pH 4.6 in every NaCl concentration tested. Just as with egg white proteins, studies show that egg yolk proteins possess different solubility in different pH and temperature regions. The proteins in egg white and egg yolk have an average isoelectric point (pI) of 5.4 and 5.3 respectively and in this region the proteins are less soluble. Emulsifying properties Mayonnaise is a well-known food emulsion (oil-in-water) that is stabilized by egg yolk. Some examples of other foods based on egg yolk emulsions are dressings, sauces, custards, puddings and ice creams. Egg yolk stabilizes emulsions by preventing two immiscible liquids from separating by creating an interfacial film between the two. The physico-chemical properties of emulsions are influenced 33
Food emulsions are often made at different pH values and thus, the effect of pH on the emulsifying properties of egg yolk is important. pH has an effect on the emulsifying properties of egg yolk proteins. The emulsion capacity (EC) increased with increased pH and the optimum pH values were between 4.61 and 7.43. Examples of food emulsions with different pH values are béarnaise and mayonnaise that are made at pH 7 and pH 4 respectively. Egg yolk is said to be a flexible emulsifier since it can stabilize emulsions that are both cold and warm (e.g. mayonnaise and hollandaise sauce). Foaming properties Many proteins are able to form foams, but egg proteins are the most effective. Good foaming properties of the egg white are important in baked goods and certain confectionaries. The reason why egg white shows such good foaming properties is the fact that it contains a mixture of different proteins. These proteins all possess different physical properties and thus, all contribute with different functionality in the formation and stabilization of foams. Ovalbumin, which is the most abundant protein in the egg albumen, is heat sensitive and denatures easily if heated. When heat-treated and denaturated, ovalbumin form foams easily in the presence of other proteins in the albumen. If alone, the whipping time for obtaining foams is longer. Globulins (G2 and G3) enhance the initial formation of foams by lowering the sur face tension. Sauter and Montoure (1972) investigated the role
of lysozyme (G1-globulin) in egg white foaming. The results showed that lysozyme improves foam volume. Additionally the results showed that egg white with a higher amount of lysozyme produced more voluminous foams that those with a minor content of the globulin. The foaming properties of egg white are influenced by environmental factors as pH, temperature and ionic strength. It is known that egg white shows better foaming properties in room temperature. Under these conditions the foam formation is quicker and foam volume is greater. It is also known that egg yolk decrease the foaming capability of egg white, and that is almost impossible to get an egg white completely free from egg yolk. There are also foam products that contain both egg white and egg yolk, namely soufflés and omelets. The whole egg, or just the yolk alone, can also be used in sponge cakes. Gelation /coagulation properties Gelation/coagulation is a functional property that is highly important in the f o o d i n d u s t r y. T h e m a k i n g a n d texturization of foods like cakes, creams, omelets, confectionary and sauces are dependent on the eggs ability to form gel networks upon heating. When eggs are used in baked goods, the protein molecules will aggregate and form insoluble networks (a gel or coagulum). It is these networks that give cakes and muffins their height, volume and stability. Studies show that the egg white proteins coagulates at different temperatures when heated, starting at 61.5°C and reach complete coagulation at 73 °C. The proteins of egg white are sometimes referred to as “coagulation type proteins” and it is the rapid denaturation of ovalbumin that contributes to the setting of gel when egg white is heated. Egg yolk proteins also form gels and it is the apolipoproteins in the LDL micelles that play a major role in the gel formation. POULTRY PLANNER | MARCH - 2017

VIV Asia 2017: Great conference choices for Asia's animal business leaders Bangkok will stage a world-class series of specialist conferences in March, for visitors to the international feed to food event VIV Asia 2017 being held in Thailand's capital city. Each conference programme is dedicated to a business sector served by VIV Asia and will take place either at the show venue or nearby at a city-centre hotel.
“We can really say that VIV Asia 2017 will have something for everyone from Asia involved in producing, processing and marketing animal proteins or pet nutrition products,” comments VIV worldwide's conferences co-ordinator DiánaTóth. “All of our conferences will be dedicated to a specific part of the industry and will combine global expertise with a determination to be directly relevant to the Asian region.” The line-up of conferences occupies most of the week, from Tuesday to Saturday, 14th to 18th March 2017. VIV Asia 2017 itself has Wednesday-toFriday dates of 15th to 17th March. The show is all about animal proteins for human consumption, from the particular perspective of markets across the Asia-Pacific region, but it also acknowledges an overlap between the feeding and healthcare of farm animals a n d t h a t of d o m e s t i c p e t s . I t s conference agenda reveals the same range, offering focused meetings with expert speakers on poultry, pigs, dairying, aquaculture and pet health and nutrition.
VIV Asia 2017 should consider arriving in Bangkok at the start of the week, in order to participate in one or other of the top conferences arranged for Tuesday 14th March. Take the example of the one-day technical conference to be hosted by the publication International Poultry Production at Bangkok's Doubletree by Hilton Sukhumvit hotel. Preparing for the coming era of production without antibiotics, this will discuss what Asian flock managers should know about immunosuppression in poultry, with presenters from the region as well as from Europe and the United States. Also on the Tuesday, at the same location, International Hatcher y Practice hosts a day of discussion about the details of biosecurity around incubation. Again it features an international array of speakers and runs for the full day, including lunch and ending with a panel session.
Technical Tuesday
The same day finds two invitation-only conferences linked to animal protein segments designated by VIV Asia as Special features. Both conferences will be at the Novotel Sukhumvit 20 hotel in downtown Bangkok.

A feed additive boosts the antioxidant defenses of swine, better than vitamin E only A University study compared the antioxidant status of weaned piglets under stress conditions. It was found that a feed additive combined with vitamin E reached better results that only feeding vitamin E. St re s s i n g c o n d i t i o n s , s u c h a s h i g h temperatures, can negatively affect health, growth and meat quality. This is due to the generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), produced when cells use oxygen to generate energy from feed. During times of high stress ROS levels can increase dramatically, affecting animal performance and carcass quality. Antioxidants protect the animal by neutralizing ROS, reducing the negative effects of free radicals in the body. Swine producers typically use vitamin E to increase the antioxidant status of animals and prevent economic damages due to the impact in performance. However, vitamin E quickly saturates when dosed above National Research Council (NRC) recommended levels. High dosage of vitamin E is less effective for managing the antioxidant status in swine. That brings into question the efficacy of this treatment. About alternatives An array of antioxidants can be found in nature besides vitamin E. Plant polyphenols have a similar structure as vitamin E, but their antioxidant capacity per gram can be substantially higher. Therefore, selected polyphenols can work as highly effective antioxidants in animal tissues. Feed additives, like Selko AOmix, have been developed specifically for this purpose, containing a blend of highly bioavailable polyphenols. In order to evaluate the antioxidant potential of Selko AOmixTrouw Nutrition set up a study in collaboration with Ghent University. During this study, nursery piglets were fed on one of three diets. Either a diet containing 1) National Research Council (NRC) recommended levels of vitamin E (11 ppm); 2) or a positive control of 80 ppm of vitamin E; 3) or 11 ppm vitamin E + Selko AOmix equivalent to 69 ppm for a total
38
antioxidant capacity (equal to the positive control). After having time to adapt to these diets, the piglets were exposed to heat stress conditions (40°C for 24 hours). The trial concluded that under heat stress circumstances the feed additive group outperformed the other two. This confirms that combining the feed additive with low doses of vitamin E is the most efficient strategy to protect the antioxidant status of swine. About the product in the trial Selko AOmix is an antioxidants' mixture that can replace a part of the vitamin E content in feed. Selko AOmix is a mixture of specially selected polyphenols with a high anti oxidative effect, a high biological availability and a broad distribution spectrum that supports an optimal antioxidant state in the entire body of the animal. An optimal antioxidant status supports a good working immune system, fertility and a vital offspring. About: Selko is the feed additives brand of Trouw Nutrition, a Nutreco company.

The poultry industry could create up to 50,000 direct and indirect jobs, including grain jobs, if SA did not import chickens
B
usiness Day reports that this is according to the South African Poultry Association (Sapa), which says the industry is in trouble because of an oversupply of chickens from the EU fl o o d i n g t h e l o c a l m a r ke t , T h e a s s o c i a t i o n , w h i c h a p p e a re d i n Parliament this week, is lobbying the government to intervene, failing which
thousands of jobs could be lost, Drought, which resulted in a spike in the price of chicken feed, also contributed to the industry's distress, Sapa CEO Kevin Lovell said, The survival of this industr y food security, the rural economy and 130,000 workers and their families is largely in the hands of government, If government helps us survive, we can grow and contribute substantially to the future of our country, Lovell said some companies were about to shed a few thousand jobs. In February, Rainbow retrenched 1,350 workers, including managers. Country Bird was set to close down its Mahikeng abattoir and 939 direct and 1,605 indirect jobs would be lost without government intervention, said
Lovell, The local industry and unions argue that the EU is selling chicken legs, thighs and wings below cost. But the EU has said its farmers are simply more competitive than their counterparts in SA, In December, Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies approved a provisional 13.9 per cent safeguard duty on European bone-in chicken in terms of SA's economic partnership agreement with the EU. Sapa said this was not enough. The association had applied for a 37 per cent safeguard duty on the imports in 2015, DA MP and agriculture spokeswoman Annette Steyn said on Thursday the poultry industry needed protection, especially after the drought period when the cost of chicken feed increased massively,
Malayan Flour Mills Bhd's (MFM) new poultry processing plant, which is being built in the Kampung Acheh Industrial Area here, is expected to be completed in early 2019

ccording to The Star Online, its chairman Tan Sri Arshad Ayub said the construction of the RM600mil facility would increase production capacity up to 240,000 birds per day compared with 80,000 from existing plants,Using the latest technology, the new facility will be able to process three
times more than the present capacity of our plants, We can also increase the quality level and encourage the production of new products such as ready-to-cook meals at our new facility,” he said at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Dindings Poultry Processing Sdn Bhd's new plant in Lumut on Friday, Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, who officiated the event, said the new plant would be able to provide sufficient live chicken supply for the state and even the country, MFM's efforts to increase poultry production can help reduce dependence on meat imports and accommodate the local demand,We import billions of ringgit of food even though we can produce them

ourselves. We only need to know which is the best method of production, including how to handle the problem of flies, he said, Zambry said the state government would not compromise with any poultry operators who failed to practise standard hygiene regulations, The state government has established a special committee to tackle the fly problem which has affected the public due to contamination in the poultry industry, We are serious in this matter and if any company fails to comply, they will be dealt with, and this includes closing down their premises. This has to be done in the interest of the public,he said.
