Bird Flu Concerns Challenge Positive Outlook for Global Poultry The outlook for the global poultry industry in 2017, which is generally positive, is now being challenged by a new wave of avian influenza outbreaks, according to the Rabobank Global Poultry Quarterly report for quarter four of 2016.

This is a most unwelcome development in a global market that was just recovering from the negative impact of the 2015 avian influenza crisis.This adverse development comes at the same time the industry has started reporting better results, and given the favourable fundamentals. The industry currently has strong market balances in most regions and ongoing low costs, despite pressure from declining red meat prices.The return of avian influenza is now shaking up global trade conditions and is especially affecting the outlook for Asia, Europe and Africa. It will also be a test for the US industry, after last year's multiple avian influenza outbreaks. As many European and Asian countries are exporters of meat and breeding stock, this will certainly impact the outlook for the industry, and could shake up meat and breeder trade again.The ongoing Chinese supply shortage will continue to affect global market conditions. Imports to China and Hong Kong are expected to remain high, benefiting countries that are allowed to export directly to China, while Chinese consumers will continue to face high prices for specific preferred products, such as feet and wings. The Industry is working on new strategic sourcing initiatives to alleviate some of this supply pressure.Pressured global trade volumes are expected next year, given a continuation of high avian influenza impacts and increasing trade protectionism. China's import demand and the possibility of improved relations between the US and Russia are promising, but lower support for trade deals like TTIP and TPP will have adverse impacts.

DEVELOPMENT OF VILLAGE POULTRY INDUSTRIES Genetic improvement Development of village poultry is unrealizable with the poor and unproductive local poultry breed. Its hardiness which enables good adaptation to harsh village management conditions is however inversely related to its productivity.

Dr. Mohanlal Shende (B.V.Sc & AH, PGDBIM, LADFTM) Cell. No.: +91-8718094447 +91-9406298867 Email : anandamohan87@gmail.com shendedr.mohan@gmail.com

Many African countries have successfully experienced the introduction of exotic breeds whose crossbreeding with local poultry resulted in offspring well adapted and much more productive than the original breed.

Table -Zoo technical performances of poultry in extensive conditions

Strategic objectives For many smallholders, chicken production offers a source of income that can be quickly scaled up without major investment or labour input.

Village chicken improvement programs have the potential to contribute to each of the Millennium Development Goals by increasing household incomes, i m p ro v i n g f a m i l y n u t r i t i o n a n d empowering women. Village poultry development also includes the promotion of other species reared in Rwanda in the backyard system such as ducks, turkeys and pigeons. The problem analysis tree identifies problems to solve to fully exploit the potentialities of the village poultry

Cockerel exchange schemes have worked well in some areas. Cockerels of an 'improved' breed are reared by a project or Government centre. These can then be bought or exchanged by farmers so that they cross-breed with village hens. Exchanged cockerels should be exchanged with those of neighbouring farmers every year to avoid in-breeding.

After four to five years the e xc h a n g e p ro g r a m m e s h o u l d b e repeated. As shown by the table above, genetic improvement bycross-breeding with exotic breeds is a mandatory way for improving poultry s performances in village management conditions. This condition is however insufficient due to the multiplicity of constraints.

Health and disease control The problem of diseases in village chickens is compounded by the interactions of different entities that are of significant importance to disease epidemiology (figure 19). At the village level, contacts between flocks of

10

different households, the exchange of birds as gifts or entrusting, sales and purchases are the main sources of infection transmission. Similarly, other domestic fowls and wild birds form another source of infection, because the chickens roam freely in the villages.

There is a need to develop appropriate epidemiological techniques for village poultry, because of the nature of the host-pathogen-environment interaction in village chickens. The complex nature of disease epidemiology in village chickens is found both in epizootic as well as in enzootic diseases. The high helminth burden in village chicken flocks has been attributed to the scavenging diet that includes some of the hosts such as worms and snails.

Among the diseases of village chickens, Newcastle disease (ND) was ranked as the most important disease. In African countries, various initiatives led by governments and NGOs were undertaken to vaccinate chickens against ND. The most promising seems to be the training of poultry farmers to carry out simple veterinary procedures to assist community members, or farmers group, under the guidance of a veterinar y officer. Other diseases affecting the poultry flock are Gumboro and Marek diseases, salmonellosis, Chronic Respiratory Disease, Bronchitis and coccidiosis. However, the latter are rather scarce in the traditional system and are mostly present in the modern system. Taking them into account is mandatory for poultry farmers to avoid economic losses due to mortality and/or morbidity. So the strategy should focus on supporting lowincome traditional farmers to fight ND, which is the major threat.

The trained farmer will receive special training on how to vaccinate, disinfect and protect village poultry. Apart from the three procedures previously

POULTRY PLANNER | DECEMBER - 2016

Support to professionalization of the actors

The size of the house will depend on how many birds you have. For 10 – 15 adult birds, the size of the house should be about 2 large paces (meters) wide by 2 large paces (meters) long. It is better that the house is too big than too small.

Housing Poultry need a good strong house. They should be locked up at night to protect them from bad weather, predators, and thieves. A house will also allow to inspect the birds and to handle them to see if any are sick or need attention. It allows collecting their eggs from the same place. The place to build the poultry house has to be planned very carefully. The place must be shady, dry and safe on flat ground to keep the floor dry during the rainy season. It may be necessary to dig a drain around the house, or to raise the ground first.

The house can be made cheaply using local material like gumpoles, reeds and thatch grass. You must see what is available. It should be situated close to your own house with the grass and bush cleared for about 3 meters on all sides of the house to keep snakes and rats away from your chickens. Some houses are built on poles, well above the ground. This protects chickens from 12

Component 5: Strengthening the institutional framework

Modern poultry Any industry in its nascent stage in a competitive environment should benefit from institutional support to upgrade to its competitors. While meeting the requirements of a free market in the EAC context, poultry industry in Rwanda needs some specific measures

Village poultry A multifaceted approach is required for successful development and the adoption of improvement technologies for village chicken production systems in Africa. Where development assistance to rural poultry is accompanied by strong institutional support, the long-term effects of the assistance are promising.

The programme “Integration model for the semi-scavenging systems” is cited as a successful programme on rural poultry improvement. This model tested first in Bangladesh targeted exclusively landless women and involved these women in the chain of activities of vaccination, hatchery operation, chick rearing and feed selling, as well as in the production of hatching and table eggs for the market. Credit services and marketing aspects also formed part of the model. Its success has created interest among those involved in rural development in other developing countries.

Identification of areas in the village chicken production system that require the most institutional and organizational support would enhance the adoption of methodologies used in other production systems. Input supply and distribution and product utilization are probably the key areas because of the small scale of production involved at the household flock level. Supply and distribution of veterinary drugs and vaccines is currently the main area that requires institutional and organizational support in village chicken POULTRY PLANNER | DECEMBER - 2016

EGGS ARE BEST EGGS ARE VEG! As Vegetarian as Milk Most vegetarians donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consume egg but readily drink milk and eat paneer. eggs farmed for consumption are 100% veg as they are not fertilised. meaning that even if you incubate them, no chick will be found under any circumstances

Nutrition Bomb Egg is one of the most wholesome and nutritive foods there is perfect for fussy eaters, espcially kids it can be served sweet or salty according to taste. Just one egg for breakfast gives them a majority of their nutrients.

Food for Thought - One of the foods that cannot be adulterated; imagine trying to ďŹ ddle with it without breaking the shell!

- Global food thar tastes the same around the world - Fuss-free, instant food at its best.

Happy Prices As prices of other foods rise, eggs remain easily affordable for all. Pulses and dals are expensive and lack even the essential smino acids but eggs have all the amino acods making them

Supply of veterinary drugs and vaccines requires support because most of the inputs, particularly the vaccines, come in doses higher than the size of the local flocks. Group formation and credit services are therefore required in this area.

Marketing is another aspect that requires institutional and organizational support. Institutional support offered in marketing could be used to create employment for youths in rural areas.

Component 1: Master y of the sanitary quality Meat and meat products are derived from muscle, originally uncontaminated. The slaughter and subsequent transformations undergone by these products are all risks of contamination of food by these

POULTRY PLANNER | DECEMBER - 2016

ARTICLE agents (bacteria or other) from live animals (endogenous contamination) or environment itself (exogenous contamination). The dangers to the consumer through contamination of poultr y meat by germs such as Salmonella, Escherichia coli (enterohemorrhagic strain), Listeria monocytogenes, and Campylobacter jejuni concern the possibility of outbreak of foodborne illness. The latter mostly concerns the digestive tract, but some complications may worsen the prognosis, often at the level of populations "at risk". On the other hand, consumption of improper eggs is mainly related to the risks of Salmonella infections (1.4 million each year in the US). Control methods in place to control the sanitary quality of the poultry industry go through analysis of the risks of contamination throughout the processing steps including the breeding and marketing. This control requires minimizing opportunities for endogenous or exogenous contamination (reducing animal infections, hygienic slaughter, further processing). It also assumes the implementation of methods to prevent microbial growth (refrigeration, vacuum packaging or controlled atmosphere ...). She finally passes through the use of methods that allow the destruction of pathogens, either in commodities themselves (cooking, pasteurization, canning ...) or at the "sources" who must be destroyed.

Government and professional partners in this sector must implement the methodology for risk management ( H A CC P ) i n t h e c o n t e x t of t h e implementation of a new legislation regarding “Food Hygiene”.

Producers who raise poultry with the intent of marketing their own products (poultry meat processed or unprocessed, eggs) should give careful consideration to where they will have their poultry slaughtered or poultry meat processed. The type of plant where animals are slaughtered has a significant impact on where the meat can be marketed.

Marketing poultry meat and eggs nationally or internationally requires adequate inspection.

Emu is the second largest flightless bird under the group ratites. It is scientifically classified as Dromius noveahollandiae along with other members of the group ostrich, kiwi, rhea and other flightless birds. Emu farming will be a booming agribusiness due to their benevolent donations to the human race viz. pain relieving oil, red healthy meat, soft, supple leather and gorgeous feathers.

Presently, emu is native to Australia and its farming spread all over the world like U.S.A, China and Australia including Asian countries. Emu is becoming popular for having 98% fat free red meat and other utilities obtained by products namely; emu oil, skin, feathers and ornamental eggs and toes.

enables to be fit for preparations, it is low in fat, loses moisture quickly and best under moist heat cooking. The emu meat contains less than 0.05% cholesterol. Due to healthful benefits of emu meat, Americans recognized the emu meat as a healthy alternative to beef.

Emu, can also be called as “million dollar bird” and its farming is getting great economic impor tance and booming an agri-business. Different products of emus are listed below: 1. Emu meat Emu meat is 98% fat free red meat, rich in protein, iron, vitamin B12 and vitamin C, hence it is an excellent diet for people suffering from heart ailments. The tenderness and texture of emu meat 18

2. Emu Oil Emu oil is semi solid white mass, which is generally located all along back of bird, but when it is processed and refined it is a clear liquid. Emu oil fatty acid composition makes it to have high permeability when applied on to human skin. Furthermore, it is being used for treatment of various conditions namely ar thritis, skin treatment, burn injuries, hair loss, etc.

This property of high permeability is made use for delivering specific drug molecules for treatment of skin conditions. Emu oil act as wound healing agent, reduces recent keloid

scarring and excellent emulsifier. The oil is extremely fine, making it exceptionally penetrating, moisturizing, cholesterol reducing and is used in treatments for muscular and joint ailments, as well as cosmetics and skin care products. Emu oil has also two major benefits having its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to penetrate the skin.

Nonetheless, it is also found to provide some solar protection and its penetrating effect appears to be related to its non-phosphorous composition.

These analgesic, anti-allergic and antiseptic properties of emu oil make it to provide the economic values in emu farming and having the price of Rs. 1000 / per Kg of raw fat or crude oil of emu.

3. Emu Skin and feathers Emu skin is of high quality with usual yield of about 6 to 8 sq. ft. per bird and price good quality skin is reported to be Rs.700/- to Rs.1000/- per Sq ft. This is used in preparation of leather products including apparels. The leg skin is very unique and with scales similar to crocodile skin and is being used in protective things for knives, swords and shoe top etc. Emu skin is soft and supple, characterized by a raised area around the feather follicles which gives a pleasing dotted pattern, when body leather is used for clothing, boots, bags

and wallets, as well as being a wonderful medium for crafts. It has a great demand in international leather industry for producing new fashionable goods. Emu feathers are soft and are being used in preparation of brushes specifically used in cleaning hard ware and circuits of electronic goods including computers. They are used as feather duster, feather pad, fans, bows, and masks, finishing metals prior to painting, weather-proof apparels, and pillows, blazers, sweaters, jewelry, and craft items. Usually approximately 400 to 600 gms of feathers would be available from a bird and each bird would fetch about Rs. 200/- at present.

MONO-ENZYME USAGE: LIMITATIONS IN POULTRY FEED FORMULATION Dr. Susim Mukul Ray, Product Manager-AHN, Rossari Biotech Ltd. In recent years there has been a concerted effor t to improve the nutritive worth of feedstuffs by u s i n g Dr. Susim Mukul Ray exogenous enzymes. On the basis of many reports it may be concluded that the nutritional and, therefore, economic value of corn, bajra, rice, soybean meal (SBM) and other ingredients commonly used in poultry diets in India can be improved b y t h e a d d i t i o n of a p p ro p r i a te preparations of phytase, carbohydrase, and other enzyme activities Phytase Efficacy Given the scale of resources that have been applied to phytase research over the last several years, the degree of success in terms of liberation of Phosphorus (P) from P h y t i c a c i d ( PA ) a n d i m p r o v i n g Phosphorus (P) retention is disappointing. Different research trials suggest that number of causes can be identified that are leading to this reduced efficacy including insufficient enzyme distribution within the feed matrix, feed processing practices such as excessive pellet temperatures that r e d u c e e n z y m e a c t i v i t y, o v e r conservative ingredient and dietary P specifications and inaccessibility of PA to phytase within the intestine In light of these findings (Table 1) and new research data showing additive effects of phytase and various carbohydrases, it seems pertinent that we rethink how phytase is incorporated into commercial feeding programs if optimal economic returns are to be realized.

NSP Enzymes In parts of the world where hard cereal ingredients predominate poultr y diets, NSP enzymes have been successfully a p p l i e d i n to p o u l t r y p ro g r a m s .

However, when these same enzyme activities are applied to corn/SBM based diets, performance responses have been less successful. When the actual constituent NSP in corn and SBM are analyzed it becomes clear that an extensive blend of carbohydrases must be supplemented if any performance response is to be achieved. This is likely why minimal performance improvements have been reported in corn/SBM based poultr y diets supplemented solely with xylanase and βglucanase or a combination of xylanase, amylase and protease (Table 2 & 3) Table 2.

and nutrient digestibilities. Thus, in order to achieve viable and consistent economic returns in commercial poultry feeding programs, the correct blend of multiple carbohydrases, including cellulases, pectinases, xylanases, glucanases, mannanases, and galactanases must be applied.

The same strategy of developing enzyme supplements for corn/SBM diets based on identification of indigestible components holds true as new feed ingredients become more prevalent in poultry diets. For example, the expansion of the ethanol industry is making a large quantity of DDGS available to the poultry industry.

Although a valuable source of crude protein and amino acids, DDGS also have high levels of indigestible fiber,which to date has limited inclusion i n to c o m m e rc i a l p o u l t r y f e e d s .

Targeting the indigestible components specific to DDGS with the correct blend of supplemental carbohydrase enzymes can allow for greater inclusion of DDGS into poultry diets and thus greater economic returns. Similarly, as the market for value added poultry products has grown, so too has the usage of flaxseed in poultry diets as the preferred source of energy and omega3 fatty acids. Again, the presence of high levels of indigestible NSP has limited the inclusion of flaxseed into poultry diets. However, once these nutritional obstacles are removed by applying the correct blend of dietary enzymes, the feeding value of flaxseed, and thus overall profitability, is improved significantly.

WOMAN EMPOWERMENT THROUGH RURAL POULTRY FARMING 1

A.K.Verma1 , Surinder Kumar2, K.K.Verma3 , S. Kumar4 and U.S. Narwaria5 Ph. D Sclolar, Extension Education, 2M.V.Sc. Scholar, Poultry Section, 3,5Ph. D Sclolar LPM, 4M.V.Sc. Scholar, LPT Indian Veterinary Research Institute – Izatnagar

Introduction A woman is the nucleus of the family, particularly, in rural India. She not only collects water, fuel, wood, fodder and food but also plays a significant role in preserving the culture, grooming the children and shaping their destiny. Although women represent only about 50% of the total population but they contribute 75% to the development of our society while men contribute only 25%. Unfortunately, in spite of their laudable and vulnerable roles, which cannot be substituted by machine or men, women have been neglected since generations. This is happening in spite of a woman being recognized by our ancient saints and culture as not merely a mother but as a superior scholarly Institution. It is said in Manu Samhita Upadhyaayan-dasacarya acarryanam satam pita; Sahasram tu pitrnmata gauraveratiricyate. “A Guru who teaches Veda is 10 times superior to an ordinary teacher and the father is 100 times more than a teacher, but the Mother is 1000 times more superior to the father”.

Activities of rural women, start early in the morning with the responsibilities of fetching water, fodder, fuel and cooking food. She takes care of the children and members of the family, their health, orientation and education and attends to various incomes generation activities. She manages all the household matters, looks after the family assets and livestock, handles the purchases and finance, works for almost 14-16 hours and is the last to sleep at night. Still, when you ask her children what their mother does?

Most of them instantly reply “nothing”. There is no recognition for their hard work, just because her work is not evaluated in terms of money. She often falls sick, but does not complain and this goes unnoticed by others in the family as they continue to work as usual for the sake of the family.

She manages the family very efficiently with meager means, but is still treated as illiterate. Women are ignored in matters, which are of concern to them as well. As a result, today women are the worst sufferers in the society due to drudgery, ill health, illiteracy, deprivation and humiliation.

Backwardness of women is a sign of poverty and women are the worst sufferers during 24

the period of scarcity and calamity. No wonder, India hosts over one-third of the poor in the world, as lack of empowerment of women is a significant cause of poverty.

Poultr y plays a significant role in empowerment of rural women. Poultry rearing is a popular activity among rural women in most countries. It can provide meat and eggs for the family, a small and fairly regular source of cash, manure for crop production, feathers, and items for traditional rituals and gifts for friends. Labor requirements are low compared with those associated with other small livestock, and production tasks can be combined with women's other household responsibilities.

Unlike in the case of larger livestock, often women also control the marketing of poultry and poultry products, with the resulting income theirs to use.

What is empowerment Empowerment is an active process which enables women to realize their identity and power in all aspects of life. It enables women to have more access to knowledge and resources, greater autonomy in decision making, greater ability to plan their times, free them from the clutches of irrelevant customs, beliefs and practices.

Women in our society Today the sole occupation of women is supposed to be bear children, to look after her husband otherwise to drudge for the household. Not only is the woman condemned to domestic slavery but when she goes as laborer to earn wages, thought she work harder than the man, she is paid less.

Elements of empowerment As we know empowerment is “the process of understanding what she wants to do and developing her will and courage as well as competence needed”. The factors which are able to facilitate and inhibit empowerment are called as elements of empowerment.

The factors which promote the empowerment called facilitating factors likepositive self image, strong will, self-reliance, awareness, education etc.

Rural poultry in empowering women Almost 80% of rural families, from the under-privileged group and Muslim community were found to keep backyard

poultry in numbers varying from 6 to 20.

Seventy-five per cent of families kept 6-12 birds. In about 70% of the families, the entire operation, from feeding and management to marketing, was handled by women. Feeding and management of the birds was entirely looked after by women in more than 95% cases. The sale of eggs and birds from the household (where middlemen or individual buyers come to purchase) was by women, irrespective of socio-economic class. Selling of eggs and birds in village markets was by men in some communities and higher socio-economic groups. However, among lower socioeconomic strata groups, it was common to see women selling eggs and birds in weekly markets. There is a good demand for the products (eggs and birds) and they command higher market prices than the commercially produced equivalents. As poultry sector development occurs, its impact on the poor is critical to development objectives.

Conclusion Poultry farming is important to the livelihood of the rural poor. It is also the fastest growing livestock sub-sector.

Poultry sector growth is less labor-intensive and based upon increases in production and efficiency for smallholder-farmers, the poverty reduction potential is significant. At the subsistence level, poultry can provide nutrition, wealth/status, and even basic livelihood support, while using surplus labor and household surpluses for feed.

This type of poultry production is typically low input as well as low output. As livestock and economic development occurs the nature of production changes. More inputs are used, and poultry sector can be a significant source of cash revenue. The demand for meat (or protein/animal products) will increase as economic development occurs, “pulling” livestock sector specially poultry development.

Poultry provides an opportunity for the very poor to maintain at least a subsistence income despite their low resource/capital base. Poor people often have little access to land or more productive land/pastures, but poultry can be produced with household surplus, through backyard-raising, and through using common property.  POULTRY PLANNER | DECEMBER - 2016

ACADEMIA AND INDUSTRY DETERMINED TO UNLOCK ANIMAL PERFORMANCE GAINS THROUGH PRECISION NUTRITION New discoveries in the science that underpins feed efficacy could bring significant value to the animal feed industry, according to academics and researchers at a recent industry summit.

The 3rd International Phytate Summit (IPS3), held in November, hosted by the University of Arkansas, the University of Illinois and AB Vista, brought together top scientists and nutritionists from 22 countries to discuss the positive benefits of precision nutrition, and in particular – the destruction of the antinutrient phytate.

AB Vista senior research manager, Dr Carrie Walk, said new understandings revealed at the meeting of the wideranging negative impacts of phytate on animal nutrition,are likely to bring about positive changes to dietary formulation.

“We know that phytate destruction in the intestinal tract has massive benefits on nutrient utilisation and performance.

“Four or five years ago people were using phytase to release phosphorus.

Now weunderstand more about

phytate and its influence on nutrients as well as animal performance, and can formulate diets based on more complete phytate destruction and provision of nutrients beyond phosphorus.”

Hans H. Stein, Professor of Animal Science at the University of Illinois, agreed, adding: “Currently, discussion in the swine industry is focused on calcium digestibility and formulating diets based on digestible calcium. Results of research indicate that phytase increases calcium digestibility – so this effect should be taken into consideration when it comes to diet formulation.”

IPS3 saw a renewed commitment between academics and industr y representatives to connect the science of enzymes and feed ingredients to real-world application, said Dr Mike Kidd, University of Arkansas. One such area of research is amino acids – where under or over-supply can significantly impact animal performance.

“Phytase appears to influence amino

acid digestibility, so researching the underlying mechanisms is really important if we're going to take the next steps in understanding what's going on.

“We look at data and think about phytate and phytase – but can we look at it and say phytate has changed the amino acid requirement of a chicken?”

Professor Merlin Lindemannofthe University of Kentucky said that such new developments in the industry's understanding of nutrition could have a significant impact on feed formulation.

“When one realises that the benefits of superdosingphytase to destroy the anti-nutrient phytate actually go beyond calcium and phosphorus release to amino acid release, trace mineral release, whole body energetics improvement, then one wonders what other unanticipated benefits may there be?”

India Aims to Triple Egg Production to Combat Malnutrition research shows that it is helpful in reducing blindness,” the minister cited, Poultry farming is promoted in the c o u n t r y t h r o u g h g o v e r n m e n t 's National Livestock Mission. Financial assistance is also being given to the families living below the poverty line under the component of entrepreneurship development and employment generation.

India needs to triple its egg production to combat the challenge of malnutrition, said the Agriculture Minister Sh. Radha Mohan Singh With a total egg production close to 83 billion, India is among the top egg producers of the world. But the domestic requirement is much higher.

So the production needs to be increased by three times, the minister emphasized, The per capita availability of eggs is only 63 per year while the National Nutrition Institute prescribes for a minimum of 180, he said.In order to achieve this target, the government of India has taken several steps to promote poultry farming, benefiting farmers while improving the nutrition scenario of the country, The minister called for intensive awareness programmes to sensitise people about the nutritional values of eggs. “Doctors, nutrition specialists, academicians, women and child institutes, egg processing industries and related policy makers can play a vital role in this,” he said, Underlining the fact that one in every four children up to five years is suffering from malnutrition, the minister said: “Eggs can help a lot in combating the malnutrition, High nutrition contents are available in eggs.

It is a rich source of protein, vitamins A, B6 and B12, amino acids and folate, iron, phosphorus and selenium. Recent

in biometrics and powerful computers play and increasingly more important role in farming.He added that to become world class, farming needs to adopt a proactive focus and it needs to bring new people into the sector. And he called on the UK farming sector to communicate to the public to tell consumers about the important role it plays in the economy. We need to explain the importance of agriculture to the UK economy and the importance of f o o d t o t h e U K e c o n o m y,” M r Suthernsaid. Jane King, the chief executive of the Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board said that a world class farming industry needs to be inspired by and competing with the best. This she said, was the vision of the AHDB and she called on the industry to focus on what the UK farming industry's competitors are doing and doing well to improve its own competitiveness. She added that U K a g r i c u l t u re i s a l s o f a c i n g a consumption challenge. The UK consumer base is growing, which is exciting for us,” she said. However, Mrs King told the conference that while the consumer base is growing eating patterns for many core products, except poultry are declining and she said that consumer behaviour is shaping the retail landscape, in particular through top up shopping.She added that the rising middle class both in Europe and in Asia presents an opportunity for UK agriculture and Brexit will see a more liberal trading environment. We should be excited by the opportunity. We need to be ready and we need to be fitter quicker,” she said.

more consolidation in the industry and the supply chain will change, there will be a need for more technology skills to grow the opportunities that will be presented. She told the conference that through benchmarking and having access to the best science and sharing knowledge UK agriculture will be able to take advantage of the opportunities on offer. However, she added that the best farmers were concentrating on the details and making marginal improvements over a wide spectrum.“It is attainable and reachable for everyday farmers. It's about marginal gain,” she said. Richard Tiffin, the chief scientific officer at Agrimetrics and professor of applied economics at Reading University showed how new developments are staring to make more and more data available, underst-andable and useful to the agricultural sector.

He said that a new data platform is being developed by the Agrimetrics - an Agritech Centre of Excellence founded by the University of Reading, Rothamsted Research and NIAB, to help farmers produce food more efficiently and to better respond to food consumers changing needs. Prof Tiffin, said: “The growing complexity of the food system means that it is often hard for farmers to understand the demands of the ultimate consumer as well as making the system more vulnerable to unexpected shocks.Agrimetrics is building a data platform that will make it easier to access and use data. In this way data can become the currency which enhances knowledge of the system we are all part of. Farmers can be reconnected to consumers, they'll be able to better meet their needs and procure a larger share of the value in food.”Data interpretation key to success Martin Dyke, the business development director at AB Agri and John McCurdy the company's head of Agri Data Services said that the UK agricultural food supply chains will need to improve their performance and by connecting supply chains from origin, supplier, producer, processor to consumer will help unlock duplicated and non-value adding costs while helping target innovation investment. They said that leveraging data and technology can accelerate the alignment and the connections between individual parts of the supply chain and help realise these benefits. However, a threat is being posed by the blind pursuit of Big Data with no real vision for how this might be practically used and applied on farm.They said that more attention should be given to the interpretation of data to create real insight; the use of this insight to enable smarter decision making and perhaps most importantly, the application and implementation of appropriate actions taken on farm. The bottom line - if it's too time consuming or complicated it won't get used; there needs to be some alignment in the supply chain between the value delivered by these technologies and the cost of implementation,” said MrDyke. Mr McCurdy added: “If you can't act on what the data is telling us, then it is useless.”He said there are plenty of technology and data capture systems but they need to be able to talk to each other to profit the farmer.Ed Salt, the managing director at Delamere Dairy told the conference that the success of his company has come through investing in people 37
