The poultry 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 in just about 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 such as is Hyaline, lt is Shaver, ll and in Babcock, lt which ensure faster growth, good liveability, 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 considerable 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. The output of eggs is increasing at the rate of 4-6 % and broiler at 8-10 % per annum. The per capita consumption is 36 eggs only and poultry meat is 850 gm against the recommended consumption of 180 eggs and 10.8 Kg poultry meat per person per annum as by the Nutritional Advisory Committee. More than 100 million people are employed in this industry. It accounts about 3 % of the total GNP and 10 % of the total GNP attributed to livestock products. This sector is growing rapidly at the rate of 15 to 20 % and it is about Rs 65 billion-mega industry. It accounts a turnover of more than Rs 95 billon at the retail level. But one very dark part of this industry is that it is dependent on imported pureline and grand parents. The parents and commercial birds from these imported lines are multiplied in commercially run hatcheries.

POULTRY WASTE MANAGEMENT IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES Introduction The poultry industry is one of the largest and fastest growing agro-based industries in the world. There is an increasing demand for poultry meat mainly due to its acceptance by most s o c i e t i e s a n d i t s re l a t i ve l y l o w cholesterol content. The poultr y industry is currently facing a number of environmental problems. One of the major problems is the accumulation of large amount of wastes, especially manure and litter, generated by intensive production. Large-scale accumulation of these wastes may pose disposal and pollution problems unless environmentally and economically sustainable management technologies are evolved. Poultry waste and its composition The three wastes of primary concern in poultry production are the bedding litter used for poultry housing, the manure resulting from poultr y production and dead birds common to all operations. Materials used as litter include straw, sawdust, wood shavings, shredded paper, and peanut or rice hulls. During the production cycle accumulating manure is mixed with litter and at the end of the cycle both are removed together. The composition of both litter and manure is predominantly water and carbon (C) with smaller amounts of nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) and trace levels of chlorine (Cl), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and arsenic (As). Nitrogen exists in several. T h e c o n c e n t r a t i o n of a m m o n i a nitrogen is important when considering any of the three disposal techniques. Poultry manure contains signiﬁcant concentrations of organic nitrogen due to the presence of high levels of protein and amino acids. Of the nitrogen in fresh manure, 60–80% is typically in 10

organic form, such as urea and protein. Depending on environmental conditions, a large percentage of this organic nitrogen (40–90%) is converted to ammonia within a year. Ammonia exists as either gas (NH3) or in an ionized state (NH4) +, which is water soluble. NH3 gas can be lost to the atmosphere while NH4 can be transformed by microorganisms to nitrate (a process known as nitrification). Nitrate is highly mobile in water and can be present in runoff. The lack of good data in India makes it extremely difficult to make a good assessment of various technological potential in the poultry waste sector. Water and soil impacts of potential pollutants from poultry production Most poultry manure and litter are applied to land near poultry production farms. With few exceptions, this is the preferred practice in developing countries and elsewhere. Such land management of poultry by-products b r i n g s t h e r i s k of s u r f a c e a n d groundwater contamination from potential pollutants contained in the manure and litter. Its value depends on several factors, including the agronomic potential of the receiving crop(s) to utilize the waste nutrients, the receiving soil type and specific geological conditions of the land being utilized, the distance to nearby surface and groundwaters, the amount of vegetated areas (riparian buffers) adjacent to nearby surface waters, and

the climate. Nutrient loading and buildup within a geological region is ecologically important and has an impact on the diversity and productivity of essential, naturally occurring living organisms within that region. Surface or groundwater contamination by manure nutrients and pathogens is especially serious if drinking-water supplies are affected. The primary nutrients of concern are nitrogen and phosphorus. The nitrogen compounds contained in manure and litter are very dynamic and can be removed from land by uptake of the receiving crop harvest or by conversion to gases that volatilize into the atmosphere in the form of ammonia, nitrous oxides or harmless di-nitrogen. Nitrogen in the form of nitrates in drinking-water can cause adverse health effects; and both nitrogen and phosphorus in certain concentrations and environmental conditions can result in degradation of surface waters Air quality impacts of potential pollutants from poultry production Air quality can be affected by aerial emissions of pollutants from poultry production facilities. Ammonia emitted into the atmosphere is arguably the most environmentally signiﬁcant aerial pollutant associated with poultry production (FAO, 2006). The transport and fate of ammonia once it is emitted into the atmosphere are not well understood, but its presence in high concentrations can trigger POULTRY PLANNER | VOL. 21 | No.4 | APRIL - 2019

environmental effects that have impacts on local ecosystems and human health. As such, consideration of the environmental effects on air sheds and watersheds of nutrient loading from poultry production is important for long-term sustainability. Ammonia from poultry operations is derived from n i t ro g e n , w h i c h i s a n e s s e n t i a l component of dietary protein, amino acids and other bio molecules necessary for life. Under open-air fermentation, hydrogen sulphide and VOCs can be emitted into the atmosphere as pollutants, and can also be components of -nuisance odour. Hydrogen sulphide can be dangerous to humans at certain concentrations. Agitation of manure slurry in pits beneath animals can result in rapid e l e va t i o n of a m b i e n t h yd ro g e n sulphide to lethal concentrations, within seconds. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2000) notes an air quality guideline for hydrogen sulphide of 0.15 mg/m3 averaged over a 24-hour period. Particulate matter (or dust) is an aerial pollutant of more concern than hydrogen sulphide and VOCs. Fine particulate matter (e.g., PM-ﬁne) resulting from the conversion of ammonia gas in the atmosphere into ammonium salts can have greater consequences for human health, and is less likely to be mitigated by dust 12

barrier approaches for preventing larger dust par ticles. Climatic conditions play a very significant role in the impacts from aerial poultr y pollutants, regardless of flock size. Options and considerations for poultry waste management The planning, construction and operation of poultry meat and egg operations of any size must consider issues associated with storing, managing and utilizing potential waste by-products. On a global scale, much research has been conducted on ways of recovering nutrients and valueadded organic products from animal wastes, to improve agricultural efficiency and mitigate environmental impacts in their regions. Many systems and approaches can be successful if properly operated and maintained. A. Land application of crop nutrients Globally, poultry manure or litter has been applied to land to enhance crop production for centuries. When properly managed, this is an effective and beneficial option. Environmental pollution occurs when manure or litter is applied to the land in excess of the receiving crop's capacity to utilize the nutrients. Other factors that influence the environmental fate of the manure and litter applied include methods of

collecting, storing, handling, treating, transporting and applying the waste by-products to the receiving land. Manure and litter storage should be planned to prevent contact with rainfall or rain runoff. Land application should be based on the agronomic uptake of the receiving crop, accurate analysis of the nutrients contained in the manure (particularly nitrogen, phosphorus, c o p p e r a n d z i n c ) a n d p ro p e r l y calibrated application methods; it should be avoided when the land is frozen or excessively wet. Land application methods that incorporate the manure or litter directly into the soil minimize odour and gas emissions and surface runoff. These principles also apply to small family operations, whose s a n i t a t i o n w i l l b e i m p ro ve d b y periodically removing manure or litter from areas where just a few birds are housed, and by storing, composting and/or land-applying the product at least 100 m from where the live birds are kept. Composting can also reduce nuisance odour emissions from poultry waste storage and treatment areas. A variety of composting approaches, from very simple to more complex automated systems, are available for both large and small poultry producers. Riparian buffers may comprise native grasses, shrubs or trees, or a combination of these. The width and make-up of a riparian buffer are speciﬁc to its location, and the width of the buffer from the stream edge determines its effectiveness. Natural grass buffers of approximately 10 m wide have been shown to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus from ﬁeld surface runoff by approximately 25 percent, while combined grass and tree buffers are much more effective. This practice is a documented inexpensive natural method of protecting water resources from the nutrients and pathogenic microorganisms contained in nearby land-applied poultry manure or litter.

B. Animal refeeding Scientiﬁc research has documented that nutrients and energy from poultry waste by-products, including manure and litter, can be safely recycled as a component of livestock and poultry diets when pathogens are neutralized . Poultry litter has been estimated to be as much as three times more valuable as a feedstuff than as a fertilizer for crop nutrients. However, such practices depend on regional regulations and public perceptions of the concept of animals' consumption of fecal material, regardless of its documented value and safety. If practised, caution is essential. For example, copper toxicity can result when litter is fed to sheep. Incorrectly processed poultry waste can contain potentially pathogenic microorganisms, including Salmonella. Depending on environmental conditions and the global region of production, antibiotics, arsenicals and mycotoxins can also be present in poultr y manures and litters. The refeeding of poultry processing byproducts is a common and acceptable practice in most, but not all, cultures. Advances in the treatment and processing of feathers and offal to produce value-added feed ingredients are making this practice more attractive in some regions, especially with the recent increases for feeds derived from grains. C. Bioenergy production Poultry manure and litter contain organic matter that can be converted into bioenergy under cer tain

processing technologies. One of the most common approaches for poultry excrement managed by water flushing (e.g., some layer operations) is anaerobic digestion, which yields biogas, a gas mixture with varying concentrations of combustible methane (FAO/CMS, 1996). The biogas can be used as an on-farm energy source for heat or as a fuel for various engines that generate electricity. An additional advantage is that, depending on processing conditions, anaerobically digested manure solids and liquids are further stabilized and more acceptable and safe for use as a fertilizer or feed supplement. Numerous technologies and approaches are available for on-farm or centralized anaerobic digestion, and all are influenced by multiple variables that affect biogas yield and efficiency – operational feasibility and effective management are critical to the success ofthis process, especially with some of the more complex anaerobic digester technologies. Unfavourable economic and other issues associated with operational feasibility, and low biogas yield from litter-based systems have discouraged many poultry producers worldwide from implementing this technology. Poultry litter and dry manure can be incinerated for on-farm production of heat in small furnaces, or transported to central locations where they are combusted on a large scale for the generation of electricity. For both approaches, the amount of energy produced depends on the efficiency of the equipment utilized

and the moisture content of the manure or litter burned. Operational feasibility and emission issues also affect this process, especially for on-farm small conventional furnaces. Gasiﬁcation technology is a way of producing bioenergy that is receiving renewed interest for small on-farm systems and central electric power stations in some regions. The process involves incomplete combustion in a limitedoxygen environment. As noted for both anaerobic digester technology and incineration units, economic costs and returns, operational feasibility and emission issues have an impact on the implementation of this technology. Conclusion The welfare of poultry and litter condition are closely linked. Many factors affect the condition of poultry litter. Any factors that increase litter moisture are likely to affect the birds' welfare adversely. Condensation should be eliminated by correct insulation of the building structure and water supply system. Adequate air change rates should be provided uniformly to all birds. Litter should be of adequate depth for dilution of the faeces. Wood shavings are the best litter but chopped or treated straw can be used, provided that the management of the litter is good.

LIGHT MANAGEMENT FOR THE WELFARE OF BROILERS The main welfare issues which have been addressed in the last two decades are closely linked with the fast early growth rate: high susceptibility to metabolic disorders and low locomotor activity. Among the management measures which have elicited criticism from the welfare point of view are in ﬁrst line stocking density, litter quality and ammonia concentration in the air. In addition inadequate light duration and intensity and lack of environmental stimuli are considered to compromise welfare conditions. Light Continuous light regimes allow the birds to feed continuously throughout the day. Earlier experiments have shown that growth rate and feed conversion were better under continuous light than under a natural day-night regime. Short light-dark-rhythms produced similar effects on the performance as continuous light. There was a positive effect of extended dark periods with regard to leg problems, mortality and metabolic disorders, but growth rate was reduced by this treatment. It is known that chickens, under extended dark phases, develop a circadian rhythm with increased feed intake before the beginning of the dark phase. It is also known that broilers start eating in the dark, when extended dark phases are introduced. It seems, however, that young broilers are not able to fully compensate for the shortened light periods. Thomsen (1989) kept broilers at 12:12 hours (light: dark) from 3 to 21 days of age and at continuous light thereafter. Growth rate was delayed under the 12:12 hrs light-dark cycle. Full compensation occurred at 49 days of age only. When intermittent lighting of 1 hour light: 3 hrs darkness have been compared with nearly continuous light (23 hrs light:1 hr darkness) compensation of growth rate was 16

observed in males, but not in females. Sorensen et al. (1999) found reduced incidence of tibial dyschondroplasia but no improvement of walking ability, when extended dark periods where provided between 3 and 21 days of age. It has been shown that the light programme inﬂuences the level and diurnal pattern of the locomotor activity of the chickens. Simons and Haye (1978) measured the activity of broilers under continuous and intermittent light regimes. The total activity was higher when continuous light was given, and the activity was evenly distributed throughout the day. Under intermittent lighting conditions using short light-dark-cycles episodes of high locomotor activity occurred during the short light periods. These short periods of high activity did positively inﬂuence leg conditions Reiter and Bessei (2002) measured the locomotor activity of broilers under quasi continuous light (23 hrs light : 1h dark) and 16 hrs light : 8 hrs dark. The average activity level in the light phase increased as the duration of light decreased. In the same experiment it was shown that broilers under 23 hrs light : 1 h dark did not develop a circadian activity patters, while those under 8hrs dark : 16 hrs light did. The development of circadian rhythms is considered an important indicator of welfare in domestic animals. Therefore clear day- night light programmes, which enable the expression of the diurnal rhythms, play an important role in the recommendations of animalfriendly livestock systems. It seems that more than one hour darkness is required for this purpose. 8 hrs of darkness obviously allow the

development of the rhythm, but it is not known so far, whether this is the minimum time of light required. It has also to be considered in this context, that these results are based on the activity of groups of birds. It is generally known that the light cycles do not generate rhythms, but synchronise endogenous rhythms with different basic frequencies. It is possible that individual circadian rhythms even under continuous light. They may remain undetected in the group data because of lacking synchronisation. The requirement for light was investigated by Savory and Duncan (1982) who trained broilers to operate a light switch. When the birds were offered to switch the light on in a dark environment (1 to 3 min of light per response) they realised a light period of about 20% of the time of day. When the programme allowed switching off the light in a light environment the time of darkness was less than 1%, and when they could switch the light on and off the duration of light was more than 80 percent of the time budget. Berk (1995) reported that broilers, when they were given free choice between a light and dark, the time spent in the dark increased with age. Light intensity, wave length and source of light can inﬂuence the activity of broilers. High light intensity (180 vs. 6 lux) increased the locomotor activity and reduced leg problems in 6 week old POULTRY PLANNER | VOL. 21 | No.4 | APRIL - 2019

ARTICLE

broilers (Newberry et al., 1988). The positive effect of light intensity disappeared at 9 weeks of age. In another experiment using 2 and 200 lux tibial bowing was higher at the high light intensity (Gordon and Thorp, 1994). Despite the higher locomotor activity at high light intensity there was no negative effect on growth rate and feed conversion. This is in contrast to earlier results where high light intensity was found to reduce growth and deteriorate feed conversion rate (Proudfoot and Sefton, 1978). Prayitino et al. (1997) reported that high intensity

www.pixie.co.in

of red light stimulated the activity of broilers. Boshouwers and Nicaise (1993) found that high frequency UV light produced higher activity in laying hens as compared to low frequency UV light. High light intensities and particular light sources show some potential to increase the activity of chickens. Their impact on leg problems and welfare, however, has still to be investigated.

providing at least 4 hours of darkness in one block at the same time of the day (Li et al., 2000). In most studies of light on the chicken eye chicks of layer strains have been used. Troilo et al. (1995) found signiﬁcant differences in the reaction of different strains to different light schedules. Therefore the extension of the above mentioned results on broiler chicks must be considered with reservations.

Chickens kept on continuous light ( ﬂ u o re s c e n t a n d i n c a n d e s c e n t ) , continuous darkness or under dim light developed ocular enlargement and shallow anterior chamber s .The intraocular pressure was not inﬂuenced by the light treatment (Whitley et al., 1984; Li et al., 1995). Similar results have been reported in turkey poults by Davis et al.(1986). The continuous light effect on the chicken eye could be avoided by

Conclusion In conclusion the welfare problems of broilers are caused by factors which enable fast early growth, such as genetic background and extended lighting programmes. Fast growing lines under continuous light programmes decrease their locomotor activity and increase the time spent sitting with age.

DIFFERENT ROUTES OF VACCINATION IN POULTRY Introduction Vaccination plays an important part in the health management of the poultry ﬂock. There are numerous diseases that are prevented by vaccinating the birds against them. There are a number of ways that vaccines may be administered to poultry and it is very important that the correct method be used for each vaccine. To use the wrong method will often result in failure of the vaccine to produce the desired immunity. Vaccines are used mainly in three forms: 1.

Liquid vaccine – it is in ﬂuid form ready to use.

Freeze dried vaccine – the vaccine is stored as one pack of freeze dried material and one pack of diluent, often a sterile saline solution. These have to be combined before use.

Dust – where the vaccine is prepared for administration in the dry form.

There are different ways that the vaccines may be administered to poultry areIn-ovo vaccination Using the method of in-ovo vaccination, the vaccine is administered into the embryo before hatch. In ovo vaccination is commonly performed between days 18-19 of incubation. In general, vaccines can be applied to ﬁve different areas of the egg: the air cell, the allantoic sac, the amniotic ﬂuid, the body of embryo and the yolk sac. The system of a larger outer needle (penetrating the egg shell) that contains an inner needle (penetrating the embryo) enables for strong but careful penetration of the egg and minimizes trauma to the embryo. In addition, the use of two needles reduces the likelihood of transferring contaminants on the outer egg shell into the sterile embryo. While the penetration of the outer egg shell 20

In-ovo route increased the relative pore volume about 30%, the risk for increased gas exchange of the embryo occurs. Currently Marek's disease, Newcastle disease, infectious laryngotracheitis and infectious bursal disease vaccines are routinely administered using in ovo vaccination in various countries. In ovovaccination does not interfere with maternal antibodies that may still present in the embryo. In fact, it increases the level of immunity and as a consequence one injection is sufﬁcient to offer life-long protection against the target disease.

equipment to that used for the intramuscular technique. The main difference between the two techniques is that, in this case, the vaccine is injected under the skin, usually at the back of the neck, and not into the muscle. Care must be taken to ensure that the vaccine is injected into the bird and not just into the feathers or ﬂuff in the case of very young chickens. The dose being administered should be checked for accuracy frequently. Maintain good hygiene practices to limit introducing contaminating organisms during the procedure.

Intramuscular injection

Ocular

This method involves the use of a hypodermic needle or similar equipment to introduce the vaccine into the muscle (usually the breast muscle) of the bird. The task is sped up greatly by the use of an automatic syringe which makes the technique relatively easy and doesn't harm the bird. Care must be taken to ensure that the correct dose is administered to each chicken and the equipment should be checked regularly to ensure this.

This method involves the vaccine being put into one of the bird's eyes. From here the vaccine makes its way into the respiratory tract via the lacrimal duct. The vaccine is delivered through an eyedropper and care must be taken to ensure that the dropper delivers the recommended dose. If it is too little, the level of immunity may be inadequate, while if too much, the vaccine may not treat the total ﬂock but will run out beforehand.

Care must be taken to ensure that the needle does not pass through into a key organ and that other unwanted organisms are not administered to the bird at the same time by contaminated vaccine or equipment. Contamination can be prevented by good hygiene and vaccine handling procedures.

Nasal

Subcutaneous injection This method involves the use of similar

This method involves introducing the vaccine into the birds' nostrils either as a dust or as a drop. Always ensure that the applicator delivers the correct dose for the vaccine being used. Oral With this method the vaccine dose is given in the mouth. From here it may make its way to the respiratory system POULTRY PLANNER | VOL. 21 | No.4 | APRIL - 2019

or it may continue in the digestive tract before entering the body. Drinking water With this method the vaccine is added to the drinking water and, as a consequence, is less time consuming and is signiﬁcantly less stressful on the birds and operator.

undue injury to the bird. Ensure that the needles penetrate the layers of skin at the ideal site. A common problem is for the vaccine to be brushed from the needles by ﬂuff or feathers before it is brushed into the follicles.

Feather follicle

With this method the vaccine is sprayed onto the chickens (or into the air above the chickens) using a suitable atomiser spray. The vaccine then falls onto the chickens and enters the body of other chickens as they pick at the shiny droplets of vaccine. A small quantity may be inhaled as well.

With this method the vaccine is introduced into the feather follicles (the holes in the skin from where the feathers grow). The technique involves the removal of a group of adjacent feathers or ﬂuff in young chickens, and the brushing of the vaccine into the empty follicles with a short, stiff bristled brush. Good hygiene is necessary to prevent the introduction of contaminant organisms with the vaccine. Wing stab With this method the vaccine is introduced into the wing by a special needle(s). These needles have a groove along their length from just behind the point. When dipped into the vaccine some of the vaccine remains on the needle to ﬁll the groove. The needle(s) are then pushed through the web just behind the leading edge of the wing and just out from its attachment to the body of the bird.

Conclusion Selection of route for vaccination can be inﬂuenced by disease, age e.t.c. Some of the methods require the operator to handle every bird and, consequently are time consuming a n d s t re s s f u l to t h e b i rd s a n d operator. Other methods involve administration by methods much less stressful and time consuming. These methods include administration via the drinking water or as an aerosol spray.A vaccine helps to prevent a particular disease by triggering or boosting the bird's immune system to produce antibodies that in turn ﬁght the invading causal organisms.

ROLE OF ENZYMES IN POULTRY FEED INGREDIENTS Introduction The major nutrient components of feed ingredients are carbohydrate, protein and fat. These nutrients need to be digested and broken down to simple sugars and fatty acids by digestive secretions and enzymes before they can be absorbed and utilised by animals. The enzymes are produced at different sites in the intestinal tract and help in better utilisation of feed ingredients thereby improving the animal performance. Use of enzymes in poultry The young birds lack the enzymes needed for maximum utilisation of feed ingredients. The poultry ingredients contain non starch polysaccharides and phytates at different levels. These non starch polysaccharides contain some anti nutritional factors that reduces the digestibility of nutrients. Addition of enzymes in feed ingredients degrades the NSPs in feed and improves the digestibility of nutrients thereby improving the performance of poultry. S o m e of th e f e e d e n z ym e s are carbohydrases, proteases and phytases. Carbohydrase enzyme The enzyme carbohydrase breaks down carbohydrates into simpler sugars. They are ﬁbre degrading and starch degrading enzymes. Xylanase and βglucanase are the main ﬁbre degrading enzymes. Xylanase breaks down arabinoxylan in grains and their by products. β-glucanases break down βglucans in barley and oats and their byproducts. Theses Xylanases and β-

glucanases improve the average daily gain and feed conversion efﬁciency in broilers. Starch degrading enzyme The starch degrading enzyme amylase break down the starch that is present in grains and its by products. These enzymes allow poultry to extract more energy from feed that can be converted into meat and egg production. Protease enzyme T h e p ro te i n d e g r a d i n g e n z y m e protease breaks down the proteinaceous substances in plant materials and proteinaceous antinutrients in vegetable proteins. These proteases can be used to reduce the level of trypsin inhibitors that are present in the soybean meal thus improving protein digestibiilty.

Phytase enzyme Cereal grains and oil cakes contain 55 to 80 per cent of total phosphorus in the form of phytic acid. This phytate phosphorus is poorly utilised by poultry and is excreted in faeces. Hence the b i rd s a re u n a b l e to u t i l i s e t h e phosphorus in feed. The phytase enzyme is not produced by pigs and poultry that break down phytate. Supplementation of phytase enzyme improves egg production and egg shell quality in laying hens. Conclusion The use of enzymes has been increasing day by day. Supplementing enzymes as feed additives improves the digestibility of feed ingredients and thereby improving the feed efﬁciency and performance of poultry.

EFFECTS OF FEEDING MORINGA OLEIFERA LEAF MEAL IN POULTRY DIETS Introduction The poultry industry is one of the fastest growing industries globally, but is hampered by a heavy shortage of feed ingredients especially in developing countries. Thus, it is essential to explore the non-traditional feed resources which could be used in poultry feed formulations. Moringa oleiferaor known as drumstick tree (Moringaceae), a highly valued plant, distributed in many countries of the tropics and subtropics, is one such plant with an impressive range of medicinal uses, including growth promotion, antimicrobial and antioxidant effects. M. oleifera leaf improves egg production, yolk colour and feed conversion ratio as well as body weight, nutrient digestibility in poultry birds.

The antibiotic metabolites, such as carboxylic acid, 2,4-diacetyl phloroglucinol, cell walldegrading enzymes and chitinases is also present in extracts of M. oleifera seeds . The antioxidant activity of MOL extract and fruit is due to the presence of polyphenols, tannins, anthocyanin, glycosides, and thiocarbamates, which remove free radicals, activate antioxidant enzymes, and inhibit oxidases. methionine, valine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, leucine, histadine, lysine and tryptophan; and seventeen fatty acids, including α-linolenic acid, heneicosanoic, γ-linolenic, palmiteic and capricacid have been identiﬁed (Moyo et al., 2011). The concentrations of anti-nutritional factors like tannins, trypsin, amylase inhibitors, lectins, cyanogenicglucosides, glucosinolates, and saponins were either undetectable or negligible in leaves, twigs, and stems of M. oleifera leaves.

Effect of Moringa leaf meal on the performance of laying hens Supplementation of Moringaleaf meal in poultry birds increases feed and crude proteinintake, average weight gain, feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratios. The presence of readily available protein, higher levels of methionine and other essential amino acids in Moringa leaf meal is highly convenient for monogastric animals including poultry. Kakengi et al. (2007) showed that addition of 10% and 20% MOL mealto the laying hen diet, as a substitute for sunflower seed meal, significantly (P<0.05) increased feed and dry matter intake and decreased egg mass production. In another study, supplementation of MOL meal (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) in the laying hens' diets linearly decreased egg-laying percentage and egg mass, while egg weight and feed intake showeda quadratic trend with the increased levels of MOL meal with the absence of a significant effecton feed conversion ratio(Abou-Elezzet al., 2011).

MICROBIOLOGY OF EGG Introduction The risk of contamination by microorganisms is a major concern in the sectors of egg production and egg product manufacturing. Under healthy breeding conditions, the egg content is generally sterile. However, it can be contaminated by a diversiﬁed micro bi o ta co n tai n i n g f o o d s po i l age microorganisms and sometimes pathogenic bacteria. The egg has however remarkable self-defence properties intended to preserve the embryo of any microbial invasion during its development. This article gives a progress report on the origin of egg contamination and on egg's antimicrobial defense mechanisms. The means to limit the presence and the development of microorganisms in eggs are discussed, at the egg production level, and during egg storage and conditioning. Egg breaking systematically involves the contamination of egg white and egg yolk through contact with the spoiled shells, thus giving rise to highly perishable egg products. The control of their microbiological quality is required, in particular when they are integratedin raw or undercooked food. The means of control are discussed and particularly the respect of good hygiene practices and relevant stabilization processes. T h e s i g n i ﬁ c a n c e of m o n i t o r i n g temperatures for the control of pathogenic and food spoilage micro organisms is particularly underlined.

organisms from the blood of the bird. Ÿ

Oviductal infection – where the egg white is infected during its movement along the oviduct. Organisms can be introduced into the oviduct via either the bird's vascular system, or by upward migration from the bird's cloaca, or via practices involved in artiﬁcial insemination. Trans-shell infection. The egg shell will be contaminated immediately on laying by contact with dust, faecal material and other environmental agents. It is known that the longer the egg is in direct contact with such contaminated material, the greater the chance of internal contamination occurring.

This is due to the large number of pores within the shell, which under the right conditions can transfer organisms across the shell into the egg interior. This transfer can be accelerated if eggs are placed in water. Warm eggs placed in cold water result in an internal vacuum which can draw the water (and any contaminants on the outside of the shell) inside the egg, likewise any pressure changes can result in transfer into the egg.

Egg spoilage The main cause of egg spoilage arises from the growth of Gram negative bacteria within the egg contents. There have been many studies on the types and causes of egg 'rots' and Board (2000) gives excellent descriptions of the various forms of egg spoilage. If an egg becomes internally contaminated, there will be a lag before gross contamination of the egg contents becomes apparent. In eggs contaminated by the trans shell route, this lag period can be between seven and greater than 20 days in length. There are numerous reasons that have been suggested for this lag time, but it is likely to be due to changes in the egg structure during storage, making conditions more favorable to bacteria growth, perhaps together with some biochemical changes within the bacteria themselves helping overcome the egg's defensive mechanisms.

Egg microbiology It has been stated (Board 2000) that eggs can become internally contaminated by micro-organisms in three ways.-: Ÿ

Trans ovarian infection – resulting from the yolk within an ovary follicle being infected, usually with

Pathogens and eggs The predominant human pathogen that is associated with eggs is salmonella. This pathogen can be associated with eggs in two ways: Ÿ

It can be found on the egg shell, which can become contaminated from the bird's faecal material.

l It can be found within the egg contents, which become contaminated when the egg is being formed within the bird. This route isknown as trans-ovarian infection.

Shell contamination can be controlled to some extent by ensuring that laying areas/ conditions are hygienic, and by carefully controlled washing of eggs (although great care has to be taken to avoid external contamination being drawn into the egg during the washing process). Trans ovarian infection can only be controlled by ensuring that birds are free from salmonella. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the annual incidence of repor ted human salmonellosis in the UK was at a record high of nearly 40,000 cases. A large majority of these were due to S.

enteritidis originating from poultry and eggs. At that time action was taken by poultry and egg producers, a v a c c i n a t i o n programme against salmonella, for poultry breeding ﬂocks ( beginning in 1994) and egg layers (beginning in 1998), has resulted in a drastic reduction in contaminated poultry and eggs. The results of this have been a huge success in reducing levels of contaminated eggs. In 2006 a report on a UK FSA surveillance study on eggs imported into the UK, clearly indicated that impor ted eggs from some countries had a higher incidence of salmonella contamination than UK produced eggs. It is obviously the responsibility of egg users to understand the risks involved in obtaining shell eggs from various sources and take appropriate management strategies to minimise the risk to the end consumer. Conclusions Eggs are an excellent food, nutritious, easy to use, and with an excellent natural shelf life. We know that they are prone to spoilage by a range of micro-

organisms, but good production, transportation and distribution together with chilled storage in the home can minimise this issue. With respect to microbiological food safety, the main issues with eggs have always centred on salmonella. Intervention actions based on vaccination of laying ﬂocks against salmonella has drastically reduced this problem, making British produced eggs far less likely to contain the pathogen than they were two decades ago. It is, of course, still recommended that eggs are properly cooked before consumption to lower the risk still further, but it is fair to say that eggs now form a very safe and nutritious food source. A number of outbreaks of food poisoning have been linked to impor ted eggs, and surveillance would tend to back this up. It is up to users to ensure that they are aware of the risks from the shell eggs they use, and are taking appropriate actions to minimise risk to consumers. Pasteurisation increases the shelf life of liquid egg and provides a pathogen free raw material for production of a range of egg products. Producers and users should always ensure that the pasteurisation processes used comply with local guidance or standards and gain expert help in validation of such processes.

ZIM SET TO EXPERIENCE INCREASE IN GREY POULTRY IMPORTS

imbabwe is likely to experience an upsurge in both legal and illegal imports of cheap poultry products this year due to an increase in costs of production, an industry ofﬁcial has said. In his latest industry update, Zimbabwe Poultry Association chairman, Solomon Zawe said industry feared an increase in grey imports.Statistics show limited impor tation of poultr y products although reports of suspected illicit chicken offal imports have been ﬁled by i n d u s t r y p a r t i c i p a n t s ,” Z a w e said.However, going forward there is likely to be an upsurge in legal and illegal impor ts of cheap poultr y products as the industry starts to see 29

impacts of increased costs of production and reduced purchasing power of consumers . . he said. Zawe said shortages of foreign currency as well as the poor rainy season would likely maintain pressure on feed raw material costs, forcing farmers to maintain high producer prices. This is expected to translate into reduced demand for poultry products. Thus, after the traditional festive season rise in demand, the ﬁrst half of 2019 is likely to witness a slowdown,” he said. Zawe said the prices of most raw materials procured in the fourth quarter of 2018 increased signiﬁcantly compared to prices in the third quarter. While price

changes of maize were negligible, Zawe said prices of all other raw materials increased substantially, including local milling by-products.On average, prices of feeds in the fourth quarter of 2018 increased by 49% compared to the third quarter prices. awe said as a result of shortages of key raw materials such as maize and wheat brans, as well as foreign currency-induced shortages in imported soya meal, minerals and vitamins, many producers have had to switch from on-farm feed mixing to reliance on compound feeds from stock feed manufacturers, creating an increase in demand

SALMONELLA EGG CONTAMINATION COULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT CHICKEN CULL

ggs were recalled from s u p e r m a r ke t s h e l v e s a c r o s s Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, South Australia and the ACT on Thursday after authorities linked ﬁve salmonella-related illnesses with the farm.The egg recall prompted renewed warnings for consumers to be aware that raw eggs can contain salmonella, a bacteria which is killed when the egg is properly cooked. Agriculture Victoria placed the farm where the potentially contaminated eggs were processed,

Bridgewater Poultry in central Victoria, under strict quarantine measures to prevent the rare salmonella enteritidis strain from spreading.Victoria's chief vet Dr Charles Milne said the next steps would likely involve the death of a significant number of chickens. Dr Milne said three of nine sheds on the property were likely to be affected by the outbreak.There's a number of sheds of the premises, and to date a single shed has been positively confirmed with another two sheds likely to be confirmed in the next couple of days," he said.He said as soon as salmonella was identified in a shed, all the birds inside would need to be destroyed.The Victorian Farmers Federation's eggs group president, Brian Ahmed, said if authorities believed the salmonella had

spread throughout the farm, they would likely have to kill all the birds at the property. I mean I know it sounds extreme, but they would have to cull all that farm just to make sure it doesn't go anywhere else," he said.But he said the farm was "well organised" and it was likely between 150,000 and 200,000 birds would be affected.Mr. Ahmed said in the event that all chickens were culled, it could take the business up to two years to get back into operation, affecting the supply of eggs to the industry.No other farm would have the capacity to just automatically ﬂick a switch and produce that amount of eggs overnight, so it would have quite a heavy impact on the supply not just here in Victoria, but around Australia," he said. Mr. Ahmed said the farm represented roughly 10 per cent of the Victorian egg industry and the contamination scare would likely cause egg prices to by up to 40 cents a dozen.

raft Heinz Co., Conagra Brands, Inc., Nestle USA Inc. and Nestle Purina Petcare Co. on March 29 filed a lawsuit in Chicago federal court claiming that Tyson Foods, Inc., Pilgrim's Pride Corp. and other poultry processors conspired to inflate chicken prices.The poultry companies, listed as defendants, engaged in price fixing from 2008 to2016, according to the cour t documents. he filing says chicken suppliers coordinated to destroy chickens in order to reduce the supply of broilers and drive up prices. The suit dealt with the price fixing of broiler chickens via unprecedented cuts at the top of the supply chain in the form of jointly and collusively reducing 'breeder flocks' that produce chickens ultimately slaughtered for meat consumption.The second part of

the suit alleged manipulation of broiler chicken prices on the Georgia Dock by a group identiﬁed as the “Georgia Dock Defendants,” including Pilgrim's Pride, Tyson Foods, Fieldale Farms, Perdue, Sanderson Farms, Koch Foods, Claxton Poultry, Harrison Poultry, Mar-Jac and Wayne Farms. Senior executives from eight of the 10 Georgia Dock Defendants were members of a secretive 'Georgia Dock Advisory Board,' which played a role in the compilation and manipulation of the Georgia Dock benchmark price," the court documents said.Follow-on complaints like these are common in antitrust litigation,” Tyson spokesman Gary Mickelson said in an e-mailed statement. “Such complaints do not change our position that the claims are u n f o u n d e d .

A BIG CAUSE FOR HEALTH CONCERN

rifun Nahar, 33, gave birth to her third child on December 16 through Cesarean section at a private hospital in the capital.Upon health complications, doctors kept the baby in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and applied in the process almost all high antibiotics. As nothing worked, the newborn was shifted to the Dhaka Shishu (Children) Hospital where the baby boy eventually died 28 days after birth.The cause of his sudden death was an otherwise harmless bacterium -Klebsiella pneumoniae -- that turned deadly, possibly in hospital, by being resistant to 15 types of antibiotics.The baby developed infection of Klebsiella pneumoniae after birth; most probably from the NICU. This was one of the major causes behind his death,” Prof Samir K Saha, head of microbiology department at the Shishu Hospital, told The Daily Star. For nearly a century, bacteria-ﬁghting drugs known as antibiotics help control and destroy many of the harmful organisms that can

make us sick. But in recent decades, overuse and misuse of antibiotics prompt some strains of bacteria to make a small change in their DNA and become antibiotic-resistant “superbugs”, experts say. The World Health Organisation and researchers in developed world have long warned that “superbugs” are spreading rapidly due to t h e pa r t i c u l a r l y h i g h u s e of antibiotics in intensive care units, where patients are sickest and strong drugs are prescribed as routine.And the latest data and analysis of Department of Microbiology and Immunology (DMI) at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical Uni ver s i ty have reaf ﬁrm ed that “superbugs”, like elsewhere in the world, are quietly becoming a big cause for concern in Bangladesh. The largest data producer of bacterial and other infections in the country, DMI fears Bangladesh may experience a “disastrous situation” unless the “political leadership” takes bold steps immediately.Situation wasn't like this

about 10 years back,” Prof Ahmed Abu Saleh, chairman of DMI, told The Daily Star. “About 70 percent of the deaths in ICUs are caused by AMR [antimicrobial resistance] infections.AMR is a situation when microorganisms like bacteria, virus and some parasites resist medicinal interventions.Basically, there is no new antibiotic in the pipeline for future use. At the same time, the available antibiotic drugs are losing their effectiveness -- which has made the scenario more dangerous,” he added. Globally, some seven lakh people die each year due to AMR infections. The number of such deaths has been predicted to rise to 10 million by 2050 if things go unchecked, according to WHO.There is no exact data about the number of deaths caused by AMR infections in Bangladesh.However, a DMI laboratory analysis based on infections on patients' body from 2010 to 2018 depicted a sharp rise in the number of superbugs in Bangladesh.In 2010, superbugs and multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria were detected in 6.5 percent cases.

POULTRY FIRMS SEE PROMISING FUTURE AHEAD OVER SUBDUED FEED PRICES

fter nearly four years of downturn, the outlook seems promising for India's poultr y companies, on expectations of supply deficit and rising consumer demand for chicken and eggs.Profit margins of poultry firms (primarily producers of fresh chicken meat and eggs) were under pressure for four years due to a sharp increase in feed prices.Worried at a consumer shift to alternative sources of protein intake, they did not pass on the feed price hike. Even during supply deficit days, poultry firms raised their product prices only marginally.Now, lower feed prices have offered a cushion to their margins. While egg prices have gone up marginally over recent months to trade currently at Rs 4 each, broiler chicken prices remain fairly stable at Rs 78 a kg. Still, we are seeking nearly 15 per cent of profit margin at the current rate of chicken and eggs due to low feed prices. We see feed prices subdued till June. By then, the next season monsoon forecast would give us a clear indication of kharif crop sowing and feed price movement for the later part of calendar 2018. We see, therefore, poultry firms yielding good profit margins till the June quarter," said Balram Yadav, managing director, Godrej Agrovet. Average soybean meal 33

prices jumped to a high of $405.30 a tonne in June 2016 on the benchmark Chicago Mercantile Exchange, on lower soybean output globally. It has since declined to trade currently at $316.5 a tonne, on increased supply of soybean and thereby meal from the US, India and other major producing countries. Similarly, prices of other feeds have also declined. In India, soybean prices have recovered to trade currently at Rs 3,300 a quintal in spot Indore markets, after falling below Rs 2,800 a quintal late last year. And, maize prices have fallen over 20 per cent in the past six months.Both chicken and eggs prices have not seen a big appreciation over the past few months. In fact, these are lower today than last year. Still, poultry farmers are earning profits due to lower feed prices. We see this trend continuing in the next couple of quarters," said K G Anand, general manager, Venkateshwara Hatcheries, one of the largest producers of poultry products, under the 'Venky's' brand. A recent Rabobank study estimates a promising outlook for India's poultry firms, with a sharp increase in profit margins. It estimates India's demand for poultry products to rise by five per cent yearly, with prices to remain healthy.

EGGS IN NSW AND VICTORIA RECALLED OVER POSSIBLE SALMONELLA

ggs sold in NSW and Victoria are being recalled over possible salmonella contamination.Synergy Produce is recalling six and 12 packs of Southern Highland Organic Eggs with best before dates up to and including May 9, The NSW Food Authority said on Saturday.The eggs have been available for sale in Woolworths in NSW and Victoria, IGA in NSW and other independent retailers in NSW. The authority said the recall was due to potential salmonella enteritidis contamination, which could cause illness.It follows a number of recalls linked to a salmonella enteritidis outbreak, with NSW Health saying in March that 149 of the state's residents had become unwell since it was ﬁrst reported in May 2018. Some brands of eggs were last month recalled across NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia after salmonella was detected at Victoria's Bridgewater Poultry.People infected with salmonella commonly develop headaches, fever, stomach cramps, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting, NSW Health says.

SA CHICKEN FARMERS ARE VERY GOOD POULTRY FIRM MOY (BUT STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH PARK ANNOUNCES NEW RECYCLABLE PLASTICS PLAN

here is good news and bad news for Mzansi in the latest research on chicken production from the Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy (BFAP).The good news is that the local production cost of our favourite meat has dropped since 2015, making our locally raised chickens more internationally competitive. South African chicken farmers are also becoming more efﬁcient. This is according to benchmarks like the number of broiler chickens produced per worker and the average live

weight per bird produced. All this helps our farmers to produce chickens at 10% to 20% cheaper than most European Union countries, says the report, based on 2017 data. The repor t is produced by Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands, one of the world's top agricultural universities.The bad news is that we are still not as efﬁcient as Brazil and the United States, the world's top chickenproducing countries. Also, local production is not growing, even though we're eating much more chicken. This is due to high feed costs (caused by years of drought) and the effect of cheap chicken imports.The pace of imports is also increasing rapidly. “Between 2 0 0 0 a n d 2 0 1 0 , 1 4 % of a d d i t i o n a l consumption was supplied by imports. Of the additional consumption that occurred between 2010 and 2017, 73% was imported and only 27% was produced domestically,” noted BFAP.All in all, the report places South Africa joint sixth (with Russia) out of 16 major chicken producing countries.

oy Park plans to reduce its overall usage of packaging by five per cent year on year while also increasing the percentage of recyclable packaging by five per cent.The target is one of a set of goals announced by Moy Park as part of its 'remove, reduce, recycle and research' strategy, and is backed by a range of initiatives across the business.The company will collaborate with academics and supply chain partners to develop sustainable packaging and remove avoidable single-use plastic from its office and restaurants by 2020.The business will move to 100 per cent widely recyclable rigid packaging by 2022, with all other packaging to be widely recyclable by 2025.Speaking about the new strategy, Matt Harris, Moy Park's head of packaging, said: “We have purposely set ambitious, industry-leading targets in order to deliver real results that can be f e l t b y o u r c u s t o m e r s a n d , u l t i m a t e l y, consumers.To achieve these targets, we'll be reducing our reliance on plastics, focusing on innovative new packaging, R&D and delivering accurate, clear recycling messages.

OLIVE GARDEN NOW SELLING CHICKEN PARMIGIANA BY THE FOOT

t some point, you have to wonder, how much food is too much food? When you can feel your stomach expanding and your pants no longer ﬁt by the end of the meal? Probably too much. Nevertheless, giant food remains a trend, what with a 2-lb. chicken tender now available at the Texas Rangers ball park, or this 6-lb. Golden Giant burger in Tokyo (although, it is suggested that you share this particular feast).You could probably get a few friends to chip in on these latest offerings from Olive Garden as well. From now until May 27, the chain is offering four dishes billed as “New! Giant Italian Classics,” serving timeless dishes “now bigger than ever before,” like an almost-footlong chicken parmigiana, a 12 oz. meatball with spaghetti, and giant portions of four-cheese stuffed shells and stuffed shells with shrimp. OG says that prices start at $12.99 apiece.On the one hand, the country being in the shape it is today, does anyone really need a nearfootlong chicken parmigiana? Frankly, no. Also, we know there aren’t any giant chickens out there, so how does something like a humungous chicken patty get formed? (Based on a recent Takeout story, these parms are likely created more like a nugget than a tender.)On the other hand, there’s to be said for the sheer bombast of a food you can price out at about a dollar or so an inch. And one of the perks of Olive Garden dinners is you’ll almost always get leftovers. This footlong chicken parm would certainly qualify, and you’ll likely even squeeze a few more meals out of it (Chicken parm sandwich? Possibly an omelet?)

BURGER KING'S CHOPSTICKS AD IS JUST THE LATEST EXAMPLE OF BRANDING GONE WRONG

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS? MEAT INNOVATORS CONSIDER TAKING THE HYBRID LEAP

urger King wanted to promote a burger inspired by Asian ﬂavors. It learned chopsticks were not the way to go.The fast-food chain’s video clip showed diners very awkwardly trying to eat its new Vietnamese Sweet Chilli Tendercrisp burgers with giant red chopsticks. It also included a caption: “Take your taste buds all the way to Ho Chi Minh City. The ad, posted to the company’s New Zealand Instagram account, sparked a social media backlash and complaints of cultural insensitivity. Burger King deleted the clip and issued an apology. The ad in question is insensitive and does not reﬂect our brand values regarding diversity and inclusion,” the company said. “We have asked our franchisee in New Zealand to remove the ad immediately. Experts say the incident is just the latest example of a company missing the mark in an attempt to become more relevant to its customers. It also speaks to social media’s increasing effectiveness in policing such missteps. Maria Mo, a New Zealander of Korean descent, had mocked Burger King in a now-viral Twitter thread, writing, chopsticks r hilarious” and Orientalism is harmless 36

funnnn. She told The Washington Post that when she ﬁrst saw the clip, she initially thought she was missing the point. She could not believe anyone would run such an ad in 2019 or that it could be approved by a company as dominant as Burger King. In her tweets, Mo wrote of the importance to “say no” to every manifestation of racism, from “the kind that makes fun of different cultures, to the kind that shoots and murders those peacefully praying in their place of worship.” Last month, a gunman killed 50 worshipers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. The ad played on widespread Asian stereotypes, as though their thought p r o c e s s w e n t , ‘ w h a t ’s A s i a n ? Chopsticks! Mo said. She noted chopsticks are used by billions of people around the world, and they would not normally be used to eat a burger anyway. But even the burger missed a mark, Mo said, because sweet chili sauce is more common in Thai cuisine than Vietnamese. Plus, she noted, one of Burger King’s Japanesebranded chicken burgers was described as “tonkatsu,” which translates to fried pork.

he recent shift to plant-based meat is undeniable, underscored by key players moving into the space. For instance, just last week it emerged that Burger King is trialing Impossible Foods’ meatless patties in restaurants in St. Louis, US. At the same time Nestlé made its latest foray into the meat-free market, launching a new “cook from raw” plantbased burger for European markets. But it is not all plain sailing, with a meaty backlash already underway in the EU. Also last week it emerged that terms such as “veggie burger “and “vegan sausage” could be banned under new plans put forward by the European Parliament’s Agriculture Committee. Critics claim that the policy push has the hallmarks of the meat industry. So is there a middle ground that can be taken? “Hybrid” products are named as such as they are seen as a compromise between the fully meat-based and fully plant-based categories. or those who miss something in a vegetarian product, but still would like to reduce their meat consumption, Dutch company Meatless, has found a different way, which suggests mixing grains or legumes with meat, for example. This type of launch has been tried before. Back in 2012, Vion launched Hackplus to the Dutch market, which was a reduced meat option containing wheat protein. The product was dropped in the following year following disappointing repeat sales. But perhaps now is a better time for this t y p e of p ro d u c t? A re c e n t F o o d Ingredients First report notes that it could be given a new lease of life. So what is behind the rise of the new opportunity for hybrid alternatives to classic meat products? By 2050, the global population is predicted to reach 9.8 billion and this increase is expected to lead to increased competition for resources. POULTRY PLANNER | VOL. 21 | No.4 | APRIL - 2019

REPORT: LEONG HUP TO BE VALUED AT 15 TIMES PE

he country's largest poultry player Leong Hup International Bhd, which is set to make a comeback to Bursa Malaysia, has been valued at 15 times price-toearnings (PE), according to a news report.According to the Nikkei report, Leong Hup has managed to secure funding c o m m i t m e n t f ro m 1 0 c o r n e r s to n e investors including the likes of the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), ahead of its initial public offering (IPO) to raise up to US$400mil (RM1.65bil).It said the current valuation was “well-received” by the cornerstone investors, which also included insurer AIA Group and prominent investor Chua Ma Yu.Quoting sources, the report said Leong Hup is expected to launch its prospectus as early as next week, and list on the stock exchange next month.Early last year, a Reuters report, quoting sources, said Leong Hup was targeting to raise 37

proceeds of US$600mil (RM2.5bil) from the IPO, which translated to a valuation of up to 30 times.Leong Hup, together with QSR Brands (M) Holdings Bhd, which operates the KFC and Pizza Hut chain of restaurants in Malaysia, were among the highly anticipated IPOs this year after a drought of IPOs in the country last year.According to recent media reports, however, QSR Brands has decided to shelve its planned IPO indeﬁnitely.Citing sources, Reuters reported earlier this month that QSR had shelved plans for an IPO that could have raised as much as US$500mil as potential investors viewed its valuations as too high.Leong Hup is among the largest fully integrated producers of poultry, eggs and livestock feeds in South-East Asia.The group operates in an industr y with signiﬁcant barriers to entry, such as industr y know-how and regulator y

restrictions, providing it with a sustained competitive advantage.Its proﬁt after tax and minority interests saw a two-year compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.4% between 2015 and 2017, while the CAGR for revenue during the period at 8%.It is the biggest producer of day-oldchicks (DOC) – or newly-hatched chicks – in Malaysia and among the top three producers of DOC in Indonesia and Vietnam.According to its website, the group's operations span across Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore and the Philippines, encompassing feed mill manufacturing and marketing and the integrated poultry supply chain – from breeding and rearing of grandparent stock, parent stock and DOC through to contract farming, slaughtering, food processing as well as supply of table eggs.

POULTRY PRICES DECLINE 21% ON WEAK CONSUMER DEMAND, BIRD FLU SCARE

oultry prices have declined by as much as 21 per cent since the beginning of February, thanks to a weak seasonal consumer demand and a delay in the onset of summer. Besides, consumers have also stayed away from aggressive buying due to a bird ﬂu scare. Data compiled by poultrybazaar. net, one of India’s leading information dissemination platforms, show that the price of eggs in Delhi declined the most – by over 21 per cent to quote at Rs 3.10 apiece early this week, against Rs 3.95 a piece on February 1. In Mumbai, the prices slumped 11 per cent to Rs 3.70 apiece from Rs 4.15 during the same period. Similarly, the price of broiler chicken in Mumbai nosedived 18.6 per cent to the present Rs 57 a kg, compared with Rs 70 on February 1. In Cochin, broiler chicken is currently selling at Rs 60 a kg, against Rs 69 a kg at the beginning of February. The poultry price decline is seasonal. During the ongoing school and college examination period, poultry consumption remains slow. We expect its normal consumption to return soon after the exam season gets over,” said

Balram Yadav, managing director, Godrej Agrovet Ltd. Part of the decline in poultr y consumption can be attributed to the scare of bird flu or avian influenza (H5N1), which, according to industry sources, erupted in Bengaluru in December last year. S i n c e t h e n , t h e G o ve rn m e n t of Maharashtra has issued alerts of its spread across eleven districts and d i re c te d of fi c i a l s i n t h e a n i m a l husbandr y department to collect

samples for testing. Incidentally, none of these samples was positive. Avian inﬂuenza scare, however, prompted the authorities in Saudi Arabia to suspend the import of poultry products from India, albeit temporarily. Ramesh Khatri, president of the Poultry Federation of India, blames non-governmental organisations' (NGOs') inﬂuence on government policies. “These foreignfunded NGOs do not want the poultry industry to grow.
