HONORARY EDITORIAL BOARD MEMBERS Mr. G.K. Rathinam Palani Tk, Dindugul Dist, Tamilnadu Dr. J Tamizhkumaran

Past few months we have witnessed a massive slump in the poultry sector mainly due to the rise in feed prices. Quite a few are also calling it the feed flu. The skyrocketing feed prices that we see today can be attributed to the steep rise in the prices of maize and soybean the 2 core ingredients of poultry feed. Maize prices have doubled to INR 26-27 per kg and soybean prices have gone up by 40% to INR 37 per kg. The cost of production stands at INR 75 per kg, that is way above the farm gate price of INR 62 per kg. Despite the peak demand season the slowdown in the economy restrains the industry from passing on this rise in cost of production to the end consumers with the fear of fall in consumption. The other setback comes in the form of imported frozen chicken legs. India lost its battle at WTO over the imports of frozen chicken legs from the US last year. With even 100% duty they are cheaper than the cost of production in India. Let alone the backyard farmers, even the organised producers lose out to the Global players when it comes to economies of scale. Lack of infrastructure facilities further adds to their misery. There is a huge shortage of infrastructure facilities for value addition such as processing, warehousing, cold storage and refrigerated supply chains which further limits the holding capacity of producers for both eggs and birds which are highly perishable products. The government under the National Livestock Mission (NLM) has launched namely, Rural Backyard Poultry Development (RBPD) scheme for the benefit of BPL families to enable them to gain supplementary income and nutritional support. Innovative Poultry Productivity Program (IPPP) and other State Programs to focus on enabling shared services and attain economies of scale for the small and marginal poultry farmers. For the organised sector the multitude of reforms undertaken by the government over the past year should provide the desired impetus to the industry to grow manifold. Short term measures include the import of five lakh tons of maize at a concessional duty of 15%. Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries has launched a dedicated website on Sanitary Import Permit for online receipt and processing of SIP applications for import of livestock and livestock products including poultry and implementation of Single Window System for online clearance of livestock and livestock products by all Animal Quarantine and Certificate Services Stations are to name a few. The industry should think in retrospect and voluntarily undertake reformative measures to be able to survive in tough times such as these.

INDIAN POULTRY – AN OVERVIEW, GROWTH POTENTIAL AND FUTURE TRENDS Poultry in India has come a long way from being a mere backyard activity and has become a highly organized commercial activity. Organized poultry accounts for80% market share and the backyard poultry market share stands at 20%. An estimated poultry population of 729 million consists of 30% layers at around 215 million and 40% broilers at around 480 million. One third of this is by small and marginal farmers working with large integrators. Around 30 million farmers are engaged in backyard poultry.

Major poultr y companies have vertically integrated operations which comprise of own hatcheries, feed mills, and primary processing facilities and often provide credit, extension services, and veterinar y medicine to the c o n t r a c t u a l f a r m e r s . I n te g r a to r s contract with multiple smaller farmers who rear the chicks to slaughter weight. The live birds are then either purchased by the integrators for slaughter and further processing or by a wholesaler who distributes them via live markets.

The size of the poultry farms varies signiﬁcantly from small farms with just 200 birds to large farms of more than 50,000 birds. Most of the poultry farms are simple open sheds while only a few large poultry integrators have controlled-environment housing with automatic feeding and drinking systems. High capital costs and unreliable power supplies restrict large scale adoption of the controlled environment poultry barn model in India.

Broiler production is mainly concentrated in the states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Telangana.Five major players (Suguna in Coimbatore, Venky's in Pune, CP, Sneha, and Shalimar in Kolkata) constitute 60% of the broiler meat market. One third of the production is carried out by individual farmers while two third by contract farmers (integration farmers).

The egg production in the country has increased from around 83 billion nos. in 2015-16 to around 88 billion in 2016-17 registering a growth of about 6%. The per capita availability of egg has increased from 61 in 2013-14 to 66 in 2015-16 and in 2016-17 it was 69.

Feed price constitutes around 80% of the total production cost and therefore is the major component in changing production and marketing scenario of poultry and poultry products.

The 2019 broiler production is projected at 6 million tons which is increasing because of rising domestic demand for p o u l t r y m e a t . T h e a v e r a g e b i rd placement in broiler segment is 65-70 million birds per week. Birds' placement depends on feed prices, status of disease outbreaks, financial status of farmers and the profitability related to the prevailing demand and price of final product in the market. The live market sales of broiler meat still constitute more than 90-95% of total volume of sales; the processed chicken meat segment comprises only about 5% of total production. 10

The growth in the broiler segment is expected to remain strong due to consumer preference for poultr y, increasing income levels, and changing food habits.Supply-demand situations generate significant seasonal fluctuation in broiler prices: prices may rise in summer due to reduced production but decline during certain Hindu festivals. The major industry players attempt to suppor t prices by reducing chick placements when demand falls. The needs of organized and unorganized sectors are very different. The poultry sector- especially commercial poultry sector- is flourishing in certain pockets, where amenable environment exists, alongwith backward and for ward

linkages while the unorganized sector is very dispersed and micro-fragmented. Small animal holding systems are increasingly becoming unsustainable due to high input costs alongwith meeting environment, food safety regulations etc. and non-remunerative prices for animal products despite the fact that it generates additional income and improvement of nutritional status among the poorest of the poor. Around 71% of Indians over the age of 15 are non-vegetarian.India has a population of 1.33 billion which is expected to reach 1.65 billion by 2050. As a nation we have a high requirement of protein to feed vegetarian and nonvegetarian population in each coming year. A growth in per capita income is shifting consumer preferences from cereals to fruits, vegetables, dairy and meat. The per capita chicken consumption is set to grow from 3.2 to 9.1 Kg by 2030, on account of rapidly changing consumption behavior of individuals. Disposable income is one of the most important factors behind changing consumption patterns. People consume more meat products with an increase in disposable incomes. The consumption of non-vegetarian food items ﬂuctuates in India with festivals etc. Poultry is cheaper than other protein sources and has potential to increase production multi fold and is well poised to manage demand explosion. Expansion in the middle class in India is helping to boost the demand for more plentiful and less costly proteins and consequently chicken meat. Because of its huge population of 1.3 billion, even a small rise in average uptake will translate into a large increase in the total volume of chicken eaten. Other factors favoring chicken consumption are increasing

employment levels and incomes; a growing demand for ready-to-eat products; a rise in the number of quickservice establishments and a general preference for poultry over other meats on a price basis and in some instances cultural and religious reasons.

&soya price fluctuation leading to availability issues of poultry feed at reasonable prices is another big hurdle. Avian influenza and other emerging/reemerging diseases are another serious threat. Small farms make economies of scale and biosecurity difficult to achieve.

The impressive growth in the poultry sector in general and broiler industry in particular is the result of technological breakthroughs in breeding, feeding and health, and sizeable investments from the private sector. Broiler industry is growing with the backward integration system providing opportunities for the rural masses with all the technical inputs and assured remunerations. However, these efforts have concentrated on productivity and production by neglecting several front end activities such as wholesaling, processing, retailing and equitable inclusive development.

A rapidly expanding middle class, together with the emergence of vertically integrated poultry producers that have reduced consumer prices by lowering production and marketing costs, market transition from live birds to chilled and frozen products, and policies that ensure supplies of competitively priced corn and soybean are keys to future poultry industry growth in India. Further, disease surveillance, monitoring and control will also decide the fate of this sector.

The rural backyard poultry systems play a pivotal role in achieving nutritional security of the country in rural areas. In village poultry systems the production of poultry meat and eggs is extremely efficient in terms of feed and water inputs. They can supplement household grain-based diets. Family poultry has a special place as they are under the control of women, require low investment, assist in pest control and p r o v i d e m a n u r e f o r f e r t i l i z e r. Improvements in their production can meet the nutritional demand in the household and in the community by increasing their social standing and financial autonomy. Major objective of livestock/poultry production is to provide safe and healthy animal food/ protein for the growing population. However there are many serious challenges cropping up on its sustainability. Lack of sufficient infrastructure facilities for value addition such as poultry processing, warehousing, cold storage, refrigerated vehicles are a major impediment to growth. High maize 12

India's unorganised and backyard poultry sector is also one of the potent tools for subsidiary income generation for many landless/ marginal farmers and also provides nutritional security to the rural poor. Major items exported are table eggs, egg powder, hatching eggs, SPF eggs, live birds, and poultry meat. The current export value of Poultry Products is to the tune of aroundINR 532 crore in 2016-17. The strength of exports mainly lies in the c o m p e t i t i v e c o s t of p ro d u c t i o n , proximity to international markets and successful regaining of freedom from Highly Pathogenic Avian Inﬂuenza (HPAI). Although some efforts have been made to increase Poultry exports from India, the trade is very small in comparison to the global trade. At present the exports are mainly in table eggs, hatching eggs, frozen eggs, egg powder, and to a small extent for live poultry. Our major markets are Middle East and Asia. Egg powder is also sent to Japan and in EU. Now we have extended exports to many African countries. We have infrastructure to handle egg exports and we also have primary packing materials and the full logistics

cold chain to deliver top quality fresh eggs to all our customers. By 2050, it is expected that the population in India would increase by 34% and to fulfill the dietar y recommended levels of the livestock products by Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) for a population of 1.7 billion people, the livestock sector should produce 306 billion eggs per annum. From the current level of production, the eggs have to increase by 4.7 folds respectively. Fulfilling the feed demand for this huge livestock from same resource base of land and water is going to be a huge challenge. As per nutritional requirement half an egg a day is optimal for an average healthy person, it translates into 180 eggs/person/annum and present availability is around 69 only. Therefore, there is a huge gap in demand and supply. However, the limiting factor for growth is the prohibitive prices of important feed ingredients for the hen, namely, maize and soya. Egg production is currently having a 5-6% CAGR. However, with newer scientific advances like 500 eggs in 100 weeks compared to present 320+ eggs in 72 weeks we can expect an achievable substantial increase in egg production by 2022-23, provided suitable policy support i s p ro v i d e d t o p o u l t r y i n d u s t r y. Government can limit its fiscal intervention to rural backyard poultry which is about 29% of total egg production. Processing should be encouraged as presently only 6% of the poultr y products are processed. Block/ district level cold storage needs to be established and cold chain needs to be developed. Low cholesterol and Omega3 rich designer eggs are already in vogue in private sector. Further development of value-added novel egg and functional poultry meat products with longer shelflife is required. Poultry stock requirement of nearly 460 lakh parent stock and 9 lakh grandparent stocks need to be facilitated by easing imports.

VAMSO SPEAKS OF MARKETABLE INNOVATION AT ICAR SPONSORED WINTER SCHOOL Cutting-edge technologies were discussed at an ICAR Sponsored Winter School on 'Recent Biotechnological Advances on Precision Feeding of Livestock and Poultry'. The event was organised by Department of Animal Nutrition, WBUAFS, Kolkata from 424th September, 2019. Around 25 distinguished veterinarians, nutritionists & scientists across India joined open-fourm discussion on recent advancements & innovations in animal nutrition. The primary objective of conducting the proposed course was to provide background knowledge and hands on training to animal & allied science specialities on recent advances in livestock & poultry feeding for higher return. The recent feed biotechnology & nano-biotechnology advance have opened up newer avenues & unprecedented oppor tunities to accelerate the productivity, product quality & net return to farmers without compromising the safety issues. Considering the ﬁve decades of eminent market presence of Vamso Biotec Pvt. Ltd. in the ﬁeld of livestock & p o u l t r y n u t r i t i o n , D r. A r i n d a m Chatterjee, Sr. General Manager, was called up on to speak 'Marketable Innovations' at this event. "Any organization's product innovation process starts with welcoming 'Ideas'. A robust, process driven and customer centric innovation pipeline is one of the greatest competitive advantages of today's commercial organizations" Dr. Arindam Chatterjee Sr. General Manager Vamso Biotec Pvt. Ltd. 14

"Academic and commercial research work on different mandates and their very nature of priority differ to a large extent. Dr. Arindam Chaterjee showed us how marketing orientation of an innovation is the lifeline of new product development activities in business organizations operating in livestock sector." Prof. Barun Roy Course Director, ICAR Sponsored Winter School Dept. of Animal Nutrition West Bengal University of Animal & Fishery Sciences, Kolkata Animal nutrition accounts for more than half of the cost of raising farmed animals. There is a huge opportunity unexploited yet because, on a global level, the current animals performance reaches only 60-70% of their full genetic potential. Today's economy is far more dynamic and the comparative advantage is less relevant than competitive advantage which rests on "making more productive use of inputs, which requires continual innovation. The key for the next few decades will be to deliver a new model that balances i n n o va t i o n w i t h s u s t a i n a b i l i t y. Innovation is a buzz word in the arena of commercial research especially in the ﬁeld of animal nutrition today. Recent advancements in precision nutrition has opened up new windows of opportunity for Commercial Nutritionists, Feed Manufacturers and even Farmers to bring about value added products for their customers in India and sub-continent. "Many ideas for innovations, even though may sound exciting of ﬁrst, may not hit the market and eventually die at idea or concept stage of product innovation funnel. The biggest reason for early abortion of the apparently innovative ideas lies in the fact that all the ideas

don't find takers in the market. It is the Marketability of an idea which boosts confidence of commercial organization to fund research and bring about solutions which can solve real problems of customers", said Dr. Arindam. He concluded by showing how adopting a systematic Product Innovation Process, a commercial organization can bring about new products into the market at the spent of optimum resources and make the product achieve desired marked share and gross margin. I n n o va t i o n i s i m p o r t a n t to t h e advancement of industry as well as society at large as it is responsible for resolving collective problems in a sustainable and efficient way.

NEWS Necrotic enteritis control requires multipronged approach in RWA systems There is an increased interest in how the bird's gut microﬂora is changing as the transition is made to production without the use of antibiotics Feeding higher levels of copper and zinc in the diet, managing litter moisture and controlling coccidiosis are keys to stopping necrotic enteritis (NE) in poultr y raised without antibiotics (RWA), Dan Moore, PhD, president, Colorado Quality Research, told “We're seeing a very consistent result with copper,” Moore said. Instead of the typical eight to ten parts per million inclusion level in the diet, they have used 250 to 275 parts per million in some studies. The combination of copper and zinc in the feed, long used in the swine industry, has also yielded encouraging results in poultry for reducing the incidence of NE, he reported. “We've had minerals in the diet for decades, but we've used them at fairly low levels, partially because of the form utilised,” Moore added. “Now, with some of the new forms that are coming out and being studied more directly, we can use higher levels and are starting to see some of that difference.” There is an increased interest in how the bird's gut microﬂora is changing as the transition is made to production without the use of antibiotics, Moore said. Changes in the feed form or type can make birds more susceptible to NE, so those adjustments must be introduced s l o w l y. M o o r e e m p h a s i z e d i t 's important to understand the different levels of feed ingredients needed and cautioned against overfeeding. 22

www.pixie.co.in

Keeping litter dry also helps to prevent coccidiosis - a diseasethat damages the gut and leads to proliferation of Clostridium, the bacterium that causes NE. Maintaining good litter quality depends on proper management, including the use of litter amendments, Moore noted. An interesting ﬁnding, he added, is that birds are more likely to develop NE on new versus used litter. It appears that chicks placed on used litter develop some immunity to Clostridium, while chicks on clean litter don't and are more susceptible to infection. Over the past three years, Colorado Quality Research has run 124 comparisons evaluating antibiotic alternatives to reduce NE. The research models used attempt to duplicate the environmental conditions of a commercial chicken house. Antibiotic alternatives can help reduce mortality and gut lesions and improve performance, but the results are not as good as they are with antibiotics, he noted. Nevertheless, because mortality, gut lesions and performance are top priorities for poultry producers with RWA systems, ﬁnding alternatives to antibiotics is important. The research so far indicates that a multi-faceted approach is needed, Moore said.

HIPRA participates in the 21st WVPA Congress in Bangkok HIPRA participated in the 21st WVPA Congress held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 16th to 20th September as a Diamond Sponsor and had a stand which was converted into a platform for activities as part of the congress. The week started with a HIPRA event called Connecting Poultry Prevention with Smart Vaccination. The “NeiLert Park”, located in the heart of Bangkok, was the setting chosen to welcome 170 professionals from different countries

in Asia and Africa. Connecting Poultry prevention with Smart Vaccination is a concept whereby vaccines not only deliver prevention, but also provide information, with vaccination equipment not only administering vaccines but also tracing and sharing information, thereby adding value to the process. HIPRA has added new vaccines to its Smart Vaccination range: EVANT®, a vaccine against avian coccidiosis in broilers which incorporates the a d j u v a n t H I P R A M U N E ® T, a n d GUMBOHATCH®, the first immune complex from HIPRA for the prevention of Gumboro disease.

ABP introduces reduced plastic packaging New development will see 70 percent reduction in plastic. ABP has today announced the introduction of new sustainable packaging for a number of its European customers. The move will see a reduction of 70 percent of the amount of plastics used to package its meat products. The packaging includes recyclable card coupled with thin film of peel away plastic. The new development does not impact on the shelf life of the product. The packaging is being introduced on ABP's Goodherdsmen organic meat products and will extend to other product ranges in the near future. ABP revealed the new packaging at the Anuga Food Fair in Cologne this weekend. Anuga is the world's largest annual exhibition for the food and beverage market. The reduction of 70 percent in plastic, other attributes of the new packaging include the fact it is 10 grams lighter than the plastic tray it will replace; the card used is sourced from PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) certified forests; the plastic film is easy to remove from card for recycling; the card is recyclable with paper and board; and significantly for the consumer, the packaging has better presentation and is more attractive packaging. ABP have also incorporated a euro hook hole into the card design, allowing retails to now "hang" the packs in their retail fridges. This new innovative way of "hanging" the packs rather than the traditional shelving allows better circulation of c h i l l e d a i r, m o re c o n te m p o r a r y merchandising techniques and better planogram design. 24

In Ireland, ABP this year became a founder member of Plastics Action Alliance, a collaboration of nine of Ireland's leading agricultural processing and food businesses that have come together to make the plastic packaging in their respective supply chains more sustainable. The alliance includes market leaders from Ireland's beef, poultr y, pork , lamb, fruit, vegetables and packed salad sectors.

Accommodating US trade demands risks creating a dangerous two-tier food system The British Poultry Council releases statement on 'free market approach'. UK Secretary of State for International Trade Liz Truss's latest stance on adopting a 'free market approach' to trading food post Brexit and 'accommodating US demands' risks watering down British food standards and creating a dangerous two-tier food system with the less well-off forced to accept lower standards, warns the British Poultry Council (BPC). BPC, the trade association representing the nation's £7.2billion poultry industry, is determined to carry on putting food on every table and ensuring British food grown to British standards remains accessible and affordable for all. BPC Chief Executive, Richard Grifﬁths, said: “It is vital that trade deals postBrexitrecognise the high standards to which Britain produces food. British farmers have worked incredibly hard to build a food system that enhances British food values and ensures high standards of production from farm to fork. We simply cannot afford to compromise on our high standards of animal welfare and food safety and accept trade products that do not meet our current standards. If food produced

to lower standards is allowed to enter the British market, it will create a 2-tier food system, in which only the afﬂuent can afford to eat British food grown to British standards. This is unacceptable. We're calling for a Government-wide commitment that production standards of imported food must meet British standards as a condition of entry. Government must do everything it can to enable British food producers to carry on putting food on every table and ensure no one is left behind.”

EU poultry sector attends AVEC general assembly The EU poultry sector held its Annual gathering on 4th of October 2019 in the city of Budapest. The theme of this year's General Assembly was Food for the Future. The event, organised by Baromﬁ Termék Tanács – the Hungarian member of AV E C , g a t h e re d m o re t h a n 2 0 0 participants – all active stakeholders in the poultry value chain. The assembly received a warm welcome from DrIstvan Nagy, Minister of Agriculture, Hungary which clearly showed that he is fully aware of the importance – and the challenges – of the European Poultry Meat Sector The president of AVEC Paul Lopez focused of the challenges the European Poultry Meat Sector faces regarding international trade. Firstly, a whopping quota of 180,000 tonnes of additional poultry was granted to the Mercosur countries in a historic deal which was closed on 29 June 2019. The EU poultry sector has clearly been sacriﬁced in these negotiations, as this was double the amount offered at the end of 2017 and agreed by EU Member States. Secondly, Ukrainian companies have used a loophole to circumvent the quotas granted in the free trade

POULTRY PLANNER | VOL. 21 | No.10 | OCTOBER - 2019

NEWS agreement with the EU, which has resulted in much higher quantities of breast meat being imported to the EU t h a n w h a t w a s f o re s e e n i n t h e agreement. In return for the closing of this loophole, Ukrainian companies will be rewarded with significant 50,000 tonnes in extra quantities. Thirdly, to justify these concessions, the Commission has used the argument that they will be offset by increased consumption in the EU. This is not an acceptable argument, as the EU already imports 900,000 tonnes of poultry meat! By comparison, around 300,000 tonnes of beef are imported, and the figure for pork is around 20,000 tonnes. In addition, there is huge uncertainties on how the EU Poultry Meat market will be affected of Brexit. The UK is one of the largest importers and consumers of poultry meat in Europe, and a hard Brexit will have significant consequences for the EU poultry meat market.

NOAH prepares the animal health industry for a potential no-deal Brexit The veterinary medicines supply chain explains plans In preparation for the possible event of a no-deal EU exit on the 31st October, NOAH, who represent 95 percent of the UK animal medicines sector, has produced information for the veterinary medicines supply chain to ensure they are as prepared as possible. This campaign, supported by government funding, outlines the necessary steps all businesses in the animal health industry should be taking to prepare for Brexit. The advice has been split across ﬁve key working areas: Supply, Regulatory, Pharmacovigilance, Cascade and product imports, EU workers. Almost all veterinary medicines used in the UK come from the EU. As veterinary medicines are classiﬁed as category 1 25

www.pixie.co.in

high priority goods by the government, companies are working closely with Veterinar y Medicines Directorate (VMD) and the Depar tment of Transport to plan for Brexit and the possible complications that could arise from imports. These preparations include alternative routes & logistics, trader readiness and establishing appropriate stock levels. In order to avoid any complications with stock levels, vets, SQPs and other retailers should consider their medicines requirements and order appropriately to maintain stock levels. All veterinary medicines authorised for use in the UK will continue to be authorised after Brexit and can remain on the market for sale and supply in their existing packaging. Products authorised through the EU (also valid in UK) will automatically have licences converted into UK authorisations. There will be no change to licensed indications for use nor changes to withdrawal periods. Any future new p ro d u c t s a u t h o r i s a t i o n s o r a n y changes to existing product licences will need to go through VMD; in the case of a no-deal, EU systems for authorisations will not apply here. Changes to UK packaging and leaﬂets will take place gradually after Brexit, however, vets and SQPs will still be able to use products with EU Marketing Authorisation details on the packaging. Vets, SQPs and animal owners should continue to report suspected adverse reactions to products to either the VMD or the company (MAH). VMD and MAHs will continue to work together to monitor and maintain product safety. The VMD will no longer be able to favour EU medicines over those from other countries. In order for vets to be able to import medicines for veterinar y use, only Special Impor t Cer tiﬁcates (SIC) will be available.

Rosavis determines market position with hatchery expansion After a decade of breeding broilers, Romanian poultry company Rosavis has decided to boost its capacity by building a brand-new hatchery and investing in a neighbouring parent farm. Rosavis was founded in 2007 as a broiler farm. Recently, Mr Constantin M i h a i l a , t h e c o m p a n y 's o w n e r, concluded it was time to raise his game in the poultry production business by establishing a hatchery with a capacity of up to 8 million eggs per year. Committed to the highest ethical and quality standards, Rosavis chose to cooperate with Peter sime for a personalised design and state-of-theart incubation and hatchery equipment. Moreover, the company also owns a feeding plant and has invested in an adjacent farm of 36,000 parent birds that provides eggs for the hatchery. The choice to cover different activities in the poultry chain since 2016 has paved the way to securing a stronger position in the rapidly evolving Romanian market. With 6 BioStreamer™ 16S setters and 2 BioStreamer™ 8H hatchers, the latest HVAC technologies included, the new hatchery in Barlad is able to produce 461,000 day-old chicks per month. Petersime's Eagle Eye™ software offers an advanced solution to monitor and control the entire installation.

Treating poultry mite with EXZOLT significantly reduces mite-related stress and improves poultry well-being MSD Animal Health, a division of Merck & Co., announced data from the first study under field conditions on stressparameters in poultry, presented at the

POULTRY PLANNER | VOL. 21 | No.10 | OCTOBER - 2019

NEWS 2 1 s t W o r l d Ve t e r i n a r y Po u l t r y Association Congress (WVPAC 2019), September 16-20, in Bangkok, Thailand. It shows that treating poultry red mite with EXZOLT® (fluralaner) improved poultry well-being and lowered red mite infestation-related stress. EXZOLT® is the first systemic treatment for poultry red mite infestations. Conveniently administered via drinking water, it employs a novel approach that virtually eliminates poultry red mites in production houses of any size or type, including free-range. The study was conducted on selected farms in Spain, Germany and France to evaluate the effect of EXZOLT® on red mite infestation-related stress in laying hens in different housing systems. Physiological, behavioral and health parameters of mite-related stress were measured before and after treatment with EXZOLT®. The study found EXZOLT® reduced physiological parameters of stress, including levels of corticosterone in the blood, as well as behavioral parameters, including head, body and wing shaking, head-scratching, preening plumage, gentle and severe feather pecking, aggression, and activity during the day and night. Hens showed a return to normal or improvement of stress indicators and a reduced incidence of comb discoloration, an indicator of blood loss, within a few days after the first application of EXZOLT®. Results were consistent across different housing systems, breeds and ages.i “Mite infestations significantly impact the welfare of chickens by inducing chronic stress and cause economic loss for poultry producers by diminishing egg quality and production,” said RikKoopman, DVM, Global Technical Director, MSD Animal Health. “The physiological stress caused by poultry mite infestations, indicated by increased levels of the stress hormone corticosterone, has previously been 26

www.pixie.co.in

studied only under lab conditions. We are pleased to share data from the first study of mite-related stress under field conditions that show the benefits of EXZOLT® for chickens and producers.” Poultry red mites are a top-five cause of economic loss in European layer and breeder operations and in many other countries, as infestations cause significant stress to poultry, decrease reproductive potential in males, egg production in females and weight gain in young birds. The total annual cost of poultry red mite infestations in the European egg laying industr y is estimated to be 360 million euros, with more than 430 million hens in all production types – pullets, breeders and layer hens – suffering from infestations. EXZOLT®, a first-of-its-kind product based on the fluralaner molecule for the treatment of poultr y red mite infestations and kills mites that have taken a blood meal, while remaining safe for the host animal. Chickens are treated during an infestation. This ensures that both adult mites and their nymphs are killed. EXZOLT® starts working in mites within four hours after mites start to feed on treated chickens, resulting in effective elimination of the mites. Clinical data from three European doseconfirmation studies and an extensive nine-site field study showed EXZOLT® provided virtual elimination of poultry red mite populations in all treated layer, breeder and/or pullet houses. In these studies, the recommended EXZOLT® dosage regimen (0.5 mg/kg body weight twice at a seven-day interval) achieved 99 percent mite-killing efficacy for at least 15 days, which spans two mite life cycles.

with China to put the brakes on a trade dispute between the two countries. The United States will delay additional tariffs on Chinese imports and, in exchange, China has agreed to what are thus far unspecified changes to intellectual property policies and currency guidelines. The country will also reportedly import between $40 b i l l i o n t o $ 5 0 b i l l i o n w o r t h of agricultural goods from the United States over an unspecified period of time. N a t i o n a l Fa r m e r s U n i o n ( N F U ) President Roger Johnson issued the following statement in response to the news: “While we are glad to see a détente in this seemingly endless trade war, the tangible benefits to American family farmers and ranchers are unclear. “There are many questions that still need to be answered: What will these agreed to policy reforms look like? How will they be enforced? And over what time frame will the $50 billion of agricultural purchases - an amount that is double our peak annual farm exports to China - take place? “Regardless of the answers to these questions, this deal should not be the end of our efforts to address China's transgressions. Their unfair and manipulative trade practices are clearly still a problem that need to be fixed through substantive and meaningful reforms. Moving for ward, the administration should work with our friends and allies to determine what those reforms should look like.”

Eimeria species in long life-cycle birds: focus on Eimeriatenella Avian coccidiosis is a common protozoal gastrointestinal parasitosis caused by the Eimeria species resulting in considerable economic losses in the poultry industry, especially in long life-cycle birds such as layers and breeders In these high value birds, Eimeria species infection results in clinical or subclinical coccidiosis associated with increased mortality, decreased ﬂock uniformity and a general rise in secondary pathologies subsequent to intestinal damage. Without any doubt, the best known and most widely diagnosed species is Eimeriatenella. To support producers, Hipra have built an Eimeria Prevention resource library featuring videos, blogs, vaccines and dose calculations.

Government bans colistin for use in poultry industry Colistin's manufacture, formulation, sale and distribution have now been prohibited by the Union Health ministry on grounds of misuse by poultry farmers India's apex advisory board, the Drugs Te c h n i c a l A d v i s o r y B o a r d , h a d recommended prohibition of the drug and its formulations for use in animals. The Central Health Ministry via an order on 27

www.pixie.co.in

July 19 prohibited the manufacture, sale and distribution of colistin and its formulations for food-producing animals, poultry, aqua farming and animal feed supplements with immediate effect. With this ban, the government cracks down on the misuse of antibiotics as growth promoters in the poultry industry. This is one of the key reasons for growing antibiotic resistance in the country. Colistin is an antibiotic meant for therapeutic purposes in veterinary, but this drug is highly misused in the poultry industry as a growth promoter for prophylactic purpose. One of the reasons for anti-microbial resistance in India is due to unwanted use of the drug in the poultry industry. This notiﬁcation will p re v e n t t h e u s e of t h e d r u g f o r prophylactic use. The Ministry long contemplated a ban on the drug for animals. "…it is brought to the notice of the Central Government that the use of the drug Colistin and its formulations for foodproducing animals, poultry, aqua farming and animal feed supplements is likely to involve risk to human being… the Central Government is satisﬁed that it is necessary and expedient in the public interest to prohibit the manufacture, sale and distribution of the drug Colistin and its formulations…," the government order read. According to experts, the use of such antibiotics should be considered last-resort only in the most severe circumstances, such as for life-threatening infections due to multidrug-resistant bacteria, when all other alternatives have failed.

Angel Yeast opens ﬁrstof-its-kind extract factory in Egypt Chinese manufacturer Angel Yeast has opened the ﬁrst yeast extract factory in BeniSuef, Egypt. The 24,000m² plant is expected to produce 12,000 tons of yeast extract products annually. Yeast extract products, derived from edible yeast, are a major source of export revenue for the company. The demand for yeast is huge in the Middle East, despite it being a relatively new food ingredient for the region.

The company set up its first dry yeast facility in Egypt in 2010, where 70% of the yeast products made there were exported to the Middle East and African markets. With the new yeast extract plant, Angel Yeast (Egypt) will have an annual production capacity of 35,000 metric tons of yeast and yeast extract products. Now, they plan to target all seven GCC countries, EU and African markets. Besides Egypt and China, the firm also operates plants in Russia.In 2018, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) loaned US$52 million to Angel Yeast Egypt to finance the construction of the new plant, as well as a wastewater treatment plant.The investment in the new Egyptian yeast extract plant was an important strategic measure for Angel Yeast to implement global operations.

Smart poultry factory developed in Singapore A poultry factory in Singapore, billed as the ﬁrst smart and green site in the region, is being built with the help of a $40m loan. Singapore Poultry Hub is setting up the ﬁrst smart and green factory for the poultry industry in Singapore with a $40m loan secured from United Overseas Bank (UOB).The new factor y will help Singapore Poultry Hub to improve their productivity by 26% and to increase their capacity by 70%. The smart factory will also feature a new waste management system to reduce the amount of waste generated by the poultry processors. Instead of disposing all the poultry waste, the system will convert part of it into protein that will be used as an ingredient for livestock feed. This will help the company become more sustainable in its operations and reduces their waste by 60 tonnes per day. Singapore Poultry Hub will work with partners such as the trade and enterprise d e v e l o p m e n t a g e n c y, E n t e r p r i s e Singapore, to employ smart technologies such as robotics, Industr y 4.0 technologies and the industrial Internet of things at its new factory.

ARTICLE / EVENT CALENDER Contd of... Page 12 Major items exported from India are table eggs, egg powder, hatching eggs, SPF eggs, live birds, and poultry meat. The current export value of poultry products is to the tune of around INR 532 crore in 2016-17. However, India is way behind in exports at 32nd place. The strength of exports mainly lies in the c o m p e t i t i v e c o s t of p ro d u c t i o n , proximity to international markets and successful regaining of freedom from Highly Pathogenic Avian xvi InďŹ&#x201A;uenza (HPAI). Although some efforts have been made to increase poultry exports from India, the trade is ver y small in comparison to the global trade. Our major markets are Middle East and Asia. Egg powder is also sent to Japan and in EU. Now we have extended exports to many African countries. We

have infrastructure to handle egg exports and we also have primary packing materials and the full logistics cold chain to deliver top quality fresh eggs to all our customers. Eggs are imported in Gulf market mostly from India, Holland and USA. India exports about 800 reefer containers of table eggs (0.413 million eggs per container) to the gulf market. Daily about 20 lakh eggs in containers are being sent to the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Muscat, Iran, Iraq and several African countries. The egg containers are being shipped to Dubai from where they were distributed to other countries in the Gulf and Africa. Oman and Dubai is the major Market, mostly for white shelled eggs. In Dubai, our major sales are in the institutional market i.e. hotels, restaurants and caterers. Now we have

expanded our exports to African market. The major African countries where poultry products including eggs and egg products are exported are Liberia, Sierra Leone and Kenya in Africa were followed by Uganda, Nigeria, Somalia, Malawi, Sudan, Rwanda, Gambia, Senegal etc. Therefore, as a strategy we should targetabout 2% coverage of world trade volume foreggs which is estimated to be around 3 billion eggs (from present around 0.6 billion) and for meat which is estimated to be around 250 thousand tons (from present around 5.5 thousand tons).
