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

The situation has deteriorated to the point where India has now transformed from a major producer to importer of chicken and chicken products, including eggs. In the face of all these difficulties, it is very encouraging to know that there are some local entreoreneurs who are still engaged in the poultry business with the view to rescuing it from total collapse. The tasks has, however, been very daunting, given the high rate of importation of cheap poultry products, making it difficult for local poultry farmers to compete favorable. Over the years, poultry farmers have had cause to raise concern over their predicament but it appears nothing has been done to address their worries. It is for this reason that the Poultry Planner appeals to the government and the Ministry of Food and Agriculture in particular to intervene and salvage the poultry industry from its present challenges. We urge the government to provide incentive packages for poultry farmers, such as support for those who import poultry feed and other inputs, so that those items can be obtained at affordable prices. Even under the dictates of a free market enterprise, it is imperative for the government to control the importation of cheap poultry products through appropriate tariff regimes qith the view to protecting operators in the local poultry industry and making them more competitive. We also encourage commercial banks to give favorable responese to the funding of the poultry industry by devising innovative products to meet the needs of poultry farmers. The compelling need for such interventions to restore the vibrancy of the poultry industry is the prospect of creating thousands of jobs for the youth in the country, which will also help realize the government’s dream of reducing the rate of unemployment. Our poultry industry has suffered neglect for far too long and it is time to rescue ut from total collapse and male it vibrant once again. Besides the business opportunities that the industry will create, a vibrant poultry sector will help improve the protein needs of the people, especially children. The Poultry Planner therefore, appeals to the authorities to put in place the necessary interventions to attracts more investment to the poultry sector

FACTS ABOUT AVIAN UROLITHIASIS (GOUT) Abstract Gout is a condition in which kidney function has decreased to the point where uric acid (nitrogenous waste) accumulates in the blood and body fluids. The uric acid subsequently precipitates as calcium sodium urate crystals in various locations, particularly in the kidneys and on the serous membranes of the liver, heart, air sacs and joints. Bronchitis and calciumphosphorus imbalance as major causes of gout mortality in poultry. There is no specific treatment to treat gout conditions, but good management practice will lead to reduce the condition. Experimental diets c o n t a i n i n g s o m e a c i d i fi e r s l i ke ammonium chloride, which dissolve kidney stones.

Nutritional or metabolic factors known to affect the kidneys are: Ÿ

Excess dietar y calcium fed to immature pullets over a period of time will result in kidney damage that may lead to gout.

Ÿ

Grower diets that contain large particle-size CaCO3 (i.e., greater than 1-2 mm mean diameter) that allows individuals to selectively pick out and consume these particles, in turn resulting in excessive intake of calcium. To ensure correct calcium intake, grower diets should contain CaCO3 only in a fine-powder form (i.e, 1 mm mean diameter or less).

Larger particle size CaCO3 may be used beginning with the pre-lay diet, after 15-16 weeks of age.

Ÿ

Phosphorus acts as a urinar y acidifier and helps prevents the formation of kidney stones.

Phosphorus has been shown to partially protect the kidney against calcium-induced damage.

Marginally low available phosphorus in grower diets has been associated with higher gout incidence.

Introduction Avian urolithiasis, or gout, is not a single disease entity, but rather the result of kidney damage from any of a number of potential causes. Kidney damage can be caused by infectious disease, nutritional issues, toxic substances, or a combination of factors. Visceral gout is a condition of chickens that has been recognized for more than 30 years. Due to its striking lesions, many names have been used to describe visceral gout, such as acute toxic nephritis, renal gout, kidney stones, nutritional gout, nephrosis, and others. Visceral gout is readily recognized by its distinctive lesions which are characterized by white chalk-like deposits covering the surface of various abdominal organs as well as the pericardial (heart) sac.

Ÿ

Ÿ

Water deprivation, due to mechanical malfunction, may affect kidney function, but research has not demonstrated a direct result in gout.

Ÿ

Vitamin A deficiency over a long period of time can cause damage to the lining of the ureter, but should be rare with modern vitamin formulation.

Cause of gout The cause of gout is often difficult to determine. Possible factors that can cause or contribute to gout are nutritional factors, infectious factors and toxic factors.

Nutritional 10

Sodium bicarbonate is sometimes used to improve egg shell quality or combat the effects of heat stress.

Sodium bicarbonate can contribute to gout by making the urine more alkaline, which with high levels of calcium, is an ideal medium for formation of kidney stones.

Infectious Infectious agents known to be involved in gout are infectious bronchitis (IB) and avian nephritis virus (ANV). Infectious bronchitis is a highly contagious virus that normally involves the respiratory tract, but can also affect the reproductive and urinary systems.

Avian nephritis virus, an enterovirus that affects the kidneys, has been associated with kidney disease and serious outbreaks of mortality in Europe and Asia. Although most information at this time suggests only a subclinical role for avian nephritis virus, research has shown avian nephritis virus inoculated into healthy chickens will cause inflammation of the kidneys and could lead to gout.

Toxins Some potentially toxic substances are used on a routine basis, while others are the result of accidental exposure.

Products used on a routine basis that have potential for human error and resulting toxicity are antibiotics, anticoccidials, minerals, vitamins, manufactured chemicals, and pesticides. Ÿ

Antibiotics, such as sulfas and aminoglycosides, are eliminated from the body via the kidneys and are potentially nephrotoxic, particularly when water intake is restricted.

Ÿ

Minerals and vitamins such as calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and vitamin D3 are potentially toxic to chickens. Chicks, however, are much more sensitive to toxicity, probably because their kidneys are not fully developed.

Ÿ

Disinfectants and insecticides, when used according to manufacturers' recommendations, are safe and effective, but a miscalculation of dosage can result in toxicity.

POULTRY PLANNER | VOL. 20 | No. 9 | SEPTEMBER - 2018

ARTICLE Ÿ

www.pixie.co.in

There are several mycotoxins that are nephrotoxic and/or hepatotoxic in laying hens, including ochratoxin A, oosporein, and deoxynivalenol (DON). The kidney and liver damage caused by ingesting these mycotoxins can cause gout among other clinical signs.

Infectious bronchitis management Ÿ

Infectious bronchitis vaccines should be administered according to the manufacturers' directions and recommendations. To provide optimum protection, the vaccination program should include several live vaccinations of bronchitis (can be in combination with Newcastle) at about 3 weeks, 8 weeks, and 14 weeks of age by spray or drinking water.

Ÿ

Use of several serotypes of bronchitis vaccine will generally improve cross-protection against other field variants and possibly against nephro-pathogenic strains.

Pathology and Clinical Signs Gout occurs when kidney function has decreased to the point where uric acid (a nitrogen waste) accumulates in the blood and body fluids. The uric acid subsequently precipitates as calcium sodium urate crystals in a variety of locations, particularly in the kidneys and on the serous membranes of the liver, heart, air sacs, and joints. The damaged kidneys are characterized by atrophied or missing portions of kidney lobes, kidney and ureter stones, and remaining kidney tissue that is swollen and white with urates. Compensatory enlargement of remaining normal kidney tissue takes place in an attempt to maintain adequate renal function.

Although gout has been recognized for some time as a cause of excessive pullet and layer mortality, it continues to be a diagnostic challenge. Chickens affected by renal damage can continue to be productive until less than one third of kidney mass remains functional. As a result, birds can be in full production and exhibit few external symptoms until shortly before death.

Figure 1. Gout lesions: White chalky deposits over the heart, liver, and abdominal cavity

Figure 2. Kidney degeneration, leaving swollen ur et er on the r ight side. Compensat or y hypertrophy in lower lobes on the left side 12

Control Gout, when recognized as a problem in field cases, is likely to be a multifactorial problem and identifying a specific cause is often difficult. Another reason for diagnostic difficulty is that kidney damage occurring during the growing period often has no apparent signs until the birds later come into egg production and are fed high calcium diets. Field cases and research have demonstrated the importance of interactions between 2 or more c o n t r i b u t i n g f a c to r s , e s p e c i a l l y nutrition and infectious bronchitis.

Nutritional intervention Ÿ

The grower diets should contain no more than about 1% calcium in powder (i.e., less than 1 mm mean diameter) form up to 15-16 weeks of age. A high calcium intake in immature pullets can cause serious kidney damage.

Ÿ

The dietary content of available phosphorus levels should be adequate, typically 0.45-0.50% in grower diets.

Ÿ

If sodium bicarbonate is used, use only enough to supply 20-30% of the diet's recommended sodium content (with the remainder coming from salt, NaCl). A flock with gout should not be medicated with sodium bicarbonate or fed a diet that is highly alkaline (i.e., high levels of sodium or potassium).

Ÿ

Feed samples could be assayed for the presence of the mycotoxins.

Ÿ

Water deprivation should be avoided in growing and laying flocks.

Treatment There is no specific treatment to treat gout conditions, but good management practice will lead to reduce the condition. Experimental diets containing ammonium chloride, ammonium sulfate, DL-methionine, and methionine hydroxy analog all successfully acidify the urine, which dissolves kidney stones.

Summary The presence of gout mortality in pullets or layers indicates some form of kidney damage has occurred at an earlier time in the flock's life. Bronchitis and calcium-phosphorus imbalance as major causes of gout mortality in p o u l t r y. O t h e r f a c t o r s s u c h a s electrolyte balance, mycotoxins, and water deprivation need to be recognized as possible contributing factors. If gout does occur in a flock, mortality can be reduced by increasing the acidity of the urine to dissolve existing kidney stones or to prevent additional kidney stones from forming.

VIRAL DISEASES OF POULTRY AND THEIR PREVENTIVE MEASURE Introduction Poultry are kept all over the world for various reasons. They are one of the cheapest sources of protein and can be kept by anyone, even in backyards. Two very important factors that should be addressed to ensure that you have a healthy flock of chickens are management and environment. Poultry Diseases prevention and their control is one of the most important factor for the profitability of poultry business. When chickens are healthy they eat less food and produce more meat and eggs. They are less trouble to look after and less money is spent on medical costs.

Spread of Disease:

9.

Weight that is typical for the type and age of the bird

10. Po w e r f u l m o v e m e n t s w h e n struggling

1.

12. C o l o r o f t h e s k i n t h a t i s characteristic for the breed and strain of bird, as well as the age and state of production

There are not many forms of treatment or in certain cases no treatment for some diseases, which is why prevention is so important

2.

Try to separate all sick chickens from the healthy ones daily. The sick chickens should be handled and treated last to prevent the spread of the disease

3.

Rectify management problems

Factors Contributing to Disease Factors that can contribute to disease include management, environment and the chickens themselves Management: 1.

Poor hygiene and inadequate cleaning programme

2.

Poor-quality food and water

3.

Leaking water bowls

4.

Overcrowding of chicks

5.

Rat and fly problems

6.

Chickens of mixed ages reared together

Environment:

Characteristics of Healthy Birds:

1.

Wet litter

In order to identify signs of diseases early, it is important to be familiar with the characteristics of a healthy bird. A healthy bird displays the following traits:

2.

Too hot or too cold conditions

3.

No air circulation

4.

1.

2.

Bright red comb and wattles

3.

Filled-out face parts

4.

9.

6.

Sharp wires in the cages

Ensure that no people from outside your farm visit the chicken house

7.

No security measures to prevent people and animals from entering the chicken house

10. Have bird-proof houses to keep out wild birds that eat the food and bring diseases to your chickens

Chickens: 1.

No vaccination

2.

Poor condition as a result of underfeeding

Clean nostrils

3.

Young chickens

6.

Smooth, neat, clean feathers

Actions at First Signs of Disease:

7.

Filled-out legs

8.

Joints that are smooth and cool to the touch

You must act quickly at the first signs of disease. The chickens must be treated,

14

General Treatment

11. Scales on the legs and feet that are clean and waxy in appearance

A disease can spread rapidly among chickens because they are usually kept together in a cage or chicken house.

They also share the same food and water bowls, which can spread disease and infections from sick to healthy chickens. In an intensive system we place a great deal of pressure on the chickens to grow fast and to lay many eggs. This situation can cause disease to spread resulting in a lot of damage because of the stress the chickens experience.

Erect stance with head and tail elevated

and management that may have led to the problem must be corrected to prevent the disease from occurring again

Environment: 1.

Building should be large enough for the chickens

2.

Fix leaky water troughs

3.

Feed and water bowls should be cleaned daily

POULTRY PLANNER | VOL. 20 | No. 9 | SEPTEMBER - 2018

ARTICLE 4.

Fresh food and water should be supplied

5.

Houses should be warm in winter and cool in summer and well ventilate

6.

7.

Dust causes irritation of the respirator y tract and the environment must therefore not be dusty Use cages for laying hens that do not have sharp edges that can injure the hens. Make sure that there is sufficient space per hen

Chickens: 1.

Purchased the chicks from a good, reliable supplier

2.

Vaccinate chicks against important diseases

3.

Keep chickens of the same age together in one house

Important viral Infections: 1.

Newcastle disease

2.

Marek's disease

3.

Fowl pox

4.

Avian influenza

5.

Infectious bursal disease (gumboro)

6.

Newcastle Disease / Ranikhet Disease Ÿ

Newcastle disease is probably the most important disease for poultry farmers around the world. It is a production disease that causes a large number of deaths in chickens and huge losses to farmers and the industry

Ÿ

Newcastle disease is a contagious viral bird disease affecting many domestic and wild avian species; it is transmissible to humans.

Ÿ

Because there is no treatment and the disease spreads so quickly, sick

16

www.pixie.co.in

chickens should be slaughtered immediately Ÿ

The causal agent, Newcastle disease virus (NDV), is a variant of avian paramyxovirus 1 (APMV-1), a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus.

Signs in sick chickens: A large number of chickens will die suddenly without any of the following apparent causes:

6.

It's also recommend that your neighbours vaccinate their chickens as soon as possible

7.

Clean the chicken house thoroughly with soap and water. All equipment must be washed.

Ever ything should then be disinfected.

8.

All chicken litter or dead chickens should be burned to prevent the spread of the disease

1.

Depression- dull

2.

Off feed and droopy

Marek's Disease Virus (MDV)

3.

Comb and wattles become pale

4.

Ner vous signs- progressively paralysis

5.

Sneezing, swollen eyes, difficulty in breathing

It is a highly contagious viral infection that predominantly affects young chickens but can also affect pheasants, quail, gamefowl and turkeys. It is one of the most common diseases that affect poultry flocks worldwide.

6.

Greenish diarrhea with foul smell

7.

Death

Treatment 1.

NO treatment for the disease

2.

All the chickens may die within a few days and Very few chickens survive

3.

It is best to prevent the diseases by good management and a vaccination programme

4.

Veterinarian will give you the best advice in a Newcastle disease outbreak

Prevention 1.

Vaccinate all the chickens against this disease by using a good vaccination programme before any signs appear

2.

Vaccinate the chick at first week with RDVFI strain

3.

Vaccinate the chick at 6th week and 16-18 week with RDVK strain

4.

It is a very contagious disease, which means it spreads easily to other farms.

5.

IONOPHORES ANTIBIOTICS TOXICITY AND THEIR MITIGATION IN POULTRY Introduction Feed additives are the substances used in animal or birds ration for the purpose of improving either the quality of feed and animals performance and health.

Large number of feed additives is available in market including growth and performance enhancers. Although feed additives are approved only after scientific evaluations demonstrate that they do not have harmful effects on the human and animal health as well environment. Antibiotics are mostly used in therapeutics for their antimicrobial purposes, but some ionophores (e.g. monensin) are used for growth promoter and production e n h a n c i n g p r o p e r t y. I n i t i a l l y ionophores were developed as anticoccidial drugs, but some agents monensin, lasalocid and salinomycin found useful as well for growth promotion in animals and birds but horses are highly susceptible for toxic effects of ionophores antibiotics.

However, accidental overdose, misuse, mixing errors and accidental ingestion in non-target species could result in toxicity in a number of animals. Horses, cattle, avian species, dogs, cats and rats are sensitive to ionophore toxicity. A well-known toxic effect of ionophores is cardiac toxicity and muscle degeneration in suspected species.

Ionophores is also associated with n e r v o u s s y s te m l e a d i n g to t h e neuropathy which is manifested with myelin degeneration and ataxia.

Properties Ionophores antibiotics are fermentation product of streptomyces species.

Ionophores either monovalent (monensin and salinomycin) or divalent (lasalocid, Maduramicin) polyether antibiotics. These agents are rapidly absorbed from the GI tract and 18

metabolized by hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes. Metabolites mainly excreated from bile and faces. (Sandhu and Brar, 2000) Mode of action Ionophores form lipid soluble complexes with cations (Na+, K+, Ca2+ & Mg2+) & interfere with normal transport of cations across surface membranes of parasite /cells modify permeability. Alteration of normal concentration gradients of ions across the cell. Increased intracellular Na+ inhibits mitochondrial functions.

Excessive increase of intracellular Ca++ exceeds the ability of mitochondria to effectively sequester Ca++ & it causes membrane damage, cell swelling and bursting. These actions results in initial positive ionotropy followed by terminal negative ionotropy and skeletal muscle contractility leading to death. (Galitzer and Oehme, 1984, Becker et al., 1996)

monensin < maduramicin.( Oehme and Pickrell , 1999). Toxicity cases have repor ted for ionophores with sulphaquinoxaline/ sulphamethazine/ sulphadimethoxine and Monensin /narasin /salinomycin with erythromycin in combination.

Causes of toxicity Ÿ

Accidental overdose

Ÿ

Uneven distribution of drug in feed

Ÿ

Contamination of feed

Ÿ

Some dietary interactions – protein and fat source/ level, minerals

Ÿ

Dehydration (turkeys)

Toxicity

Clinical signs

Toxicity of ionophore antibiotics vary with species of the animals and dose of compounds. Horses are at the heighest risk with oral LD50 of 2-3 mg/kg (monensin) and 0.6 mg/kg (salinomycin). Acute LD50 of monensin in sheep, dogs, cattle and chickens is 12,20, 22 and 200 mg/kg, respectively. It indicates that poultry birds are quite resistance to ionophores as compared to other animals. Equines and turkey are highly susceptible to ionophores toxicity, it must be avoided in these species. (Sandhu and Brar, 2000).

Maduramicin was the most toxic of all the ionophores. Nearly all maduramicin fed to poultry persists in litter (manure), making this poultry litter toxic if fed to cattle and pigs as a nitrogen source. The relative toxicities of the ionophores from lowest to highest were salinomycin < lasalocid < narasin <

Type and onset of clinical signs of ionophores vary with species of birds and other host factor such as age , diet and physical condition. In acute form of toxicity, death suddenly occurs due to cardiovascular collapse and shock or weeks after apparent recovery due to cardiac fibrosis. Important clinical signs in birds are incoordination, abnormal gait / toe walking, diarrhoea, ruffled feathers and reduced feed intake. The decreased egg production is often observed and nervous signs includes paralysis and death. Reported cases of salinomycin intoxication in birds were associated with high mortality, signs of dyspnea, drowsiness, sternal recumbency with legs extended posteriorly, inability to stand, stiffness, and weakness (Andreasen and Schleifer, 1995). Subchronic toxicity of monensin in broiler chickens reported

growth depression, anorexia, produce the reduction in liver size and weight.

Acute toxicity resulted in weakness, paralysis, and death of the treated birds with significant toxic effects on skeletal muscle. Lasalocid caused a dose dependant neurotoxicity in broiler chickens at doses greater than 11.23 mg kg-1. The clinical manifestation of neurotoxicity resulted in ataxia. Nerves tissues from affected birds showed number of changes in myelin disruption, degeneration and vacuole formation in myelin (Gregor y et al.,1995) Post mortem findings Epicardial, pericardial hemorrhages and myocardial enlargement are commonly seen in ionophores toxicity and lesions of skeletal muscle may be evident.

Hydropericardium , ascites and egg peritonitis are usually found in suspected cases.

Figure B- Showing ternal recumbancy and limb outstreched in turkey.

(Koutoulis et al,2013)

Treatment and management There is no specific treatment antidote or treatment to ionophores antiobitic poisoning. Treatment mainly include detoxification (activated charcoal , saline cathar tics).Electrolytes, multivitamins, vitamin E and selenium are found beneficial in the water in an attempt to boost the health of the birds.

Complete removal of the old feed, change of feed concentrate and use of new ingredients should be immediately applied.

Conclusion Ionophores toxicosis causes severe health and production problems in poultry and broiler industry. Therefore,

veterinarians should help to educate clients and farmers about potential toxicity in both feed mill and farming level. Immediately change the feed to another ration if ionophore toxicity is suspected in a flock. Regular checking d r u g c o m pa t i b i l i t y w h e n u s i n g ionophores with other drugs or feed additives is recommended. The best thing is to prevent toxicosis and, in order to do it, care should be taken to establish the correct dosages for each species, distribute the ionophore in the feed in a homogeneous way, and check for the concomitant use of other drugs that may act as potentiators.

Chicken - the miracle meat

Introduction Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is one of the most valued foods among people of all ages, throughout the world. Not only it forms a crucial part of various culinary traditions but it is also highly nutritious and delicious to taste.

A variable but moderate energy content, highly digestible proteins (with low levels of collagen) of good nutritional quality, unsaturated lipids (mainly found in the skin and easily removed), B-group vitamins (mainly thiamin, vitamin B6, and pantothenic acid), and minerals (like iron, zinc, and copper) make poultry meat a valuable food. There are many varieties of chicken, including free range chicken, organic chicken, and conventional chicken, the difference being on the basis of their breeding. While freerange chicken, as the term implies, is allowed to roam freely in the pastures; conventional chicken, which is also the most controversial, is kept in cages and not allowed to move freely.

Epidemiological studies performed across the world, in highly diverse populations with different food preferences and nutritional habits, provide solid information on the association between poultry consumption, within a balanced diet, an d go o d h e al th . Po u l tr y m e at consumption also contributes to the overall quality of the diet in specific ages and conditions (prior to conception, during pregnancy up to the end of breastfeeding, during growth, and in the geriatric age) and is suitable 24

According to the USDA, chicken (100 g) has moisture (65 g), energy (215 kcal), protein (18 g), fat (15 g), saturated fat (4 g), cholesterol (75 mg), calcium (11 mg), iron (0.9 mg), magnesium (20 mg), phosphorus (147 mg), potassium (189 mg), sodium (70 mg), and zinc (1.3 mg).

[1] In terms of vitamins, it contains vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin D, and vitamin K. Chicke meat is a white meat, distinguished from other meats such as beef and lamb by its lower iron content (0.7 mg compared with 2 mg/100 g).

Chicken meat has several advantages over other meats

In low-income countries, commercially produced chicken meat is well placed to satisfy the demands of a rapidly increasing affluent, middle class who can afford to pay for broiler chickens.

Faci l i ti es and i nf ras tructure for producing broiler chickens can be established quickly and soon start generating.

In developing countries, the diet of people living in cities usually contains more animal protein than that of rural people, mainly because urban people are more prosperous, but also because they generally have access to a wider variety of foods at local markets Not only is chicken meat seen as a healthy meat, but it is also the cheapest of all livestock meats. A major advantage of eggs and poultry meat as human food is that there are no major taboos on their consumption. In addition, a chicken provides a meal for the average family without the need for a refrigerator to store left-overs. Meat from other livestock such as pigs and cattle is kept mainly for special festive occasions and celebrations, partly because of a lack of storage facilities (no refrigerator or electricity supply).

Health Benefits of Chicken meat

The fat content of cooked chicken varies depending on whether it is cooked with the skin on or off, the portion of the bird, and the bird’s diet and breed. Breast meat contains less than 3 g fat/100 g. An average value for dark meat (skin off) is 5 to 7 g/100 g. About half of the fat from chicken meat is made up of the desirable monounsaturated fats, and only onethird of the less healthy saturated fats.

There are much higher proportions of saturated fats in most cuts of red meat, which also vary considerably in total fat.

Chicken meat is therefore seen as a healthy meat. Chicken meat does not contain the trans fats that contribute to coronary heart disease, and can be found in high amounts in beef and lamb.

ARTICLE Chickenn Eggs Eggs can be purchased relatively cheaply and in small numbers. One egg is almost a meal in itself and when hardboiled will last for several weeks. It can be taken to school safely by children for lunch. Scavenging chickens provide cheap eggs and meat Scavenging family poultry provide much-needed protein and income, and contribute to food security for many families living in poor rural regions of developing countries. The eggs and meat produced by their own or neighbours’ small poultry flocks are the only eggs and poultry meat that the majority of these families areever likely to eat. This makes family poultry increasingly important as the world’s population pushes towards 7 billion people. Furthermore, it is not difficult to improve the nutritional value of the egg, to become a functional food.

The term "Persian bird" for the rooster appears to have been given by the Greeks after Persian contact "because of his great impor tance and his religious use among the Persians".

In religion Since antiquity chickens have been, and still are, a sacred animal in some cultures and deeply embedded within belief systems and religious worship.

The egg has a long-standing tradition of being honored during ceremonies welcoming spring and the arrival of new life. Before eggs were available yearround, the spring equinox marked the availability of fresh eggs. The egg was celebrated as a symbol of fertility during the Spring equinox, representing the rebirth of life in the new season. Later, eggs came to symbolize the resurrection of Jesus Christ, merging the traditions and symbols of the pagan Spring festival with the Christian celebration of Easter.

Even the name of the holiday is a derivative of the Spring goddess Eostre.

Eggs have been colored as symbols of life for thousands of years. Some modern-day genuine chicken feather earnings also utilized by humans.

Common Myths about Raising Poultry

Brown eggs are more nutritious than white eggs

The nutrient content of an egg is based largely on a hen’s diet, not the color of its egg, which is determined solely by the chicken’s breed. A free-roaming chicken that consumes grass and bugs will lay eggs with less cholesterol and saturated fat and more Vitamin A and E, betacarotene and Omega-3s than a c h i c ke n f e d p u re l y c o m m e rc i a l corn/grain-based foods ü

Poultry Industry in Indian Economy Poultry farming in India, in spite of several constraints, has progressed considerably during the last decade.

Poultr y production in India was confined to backyards till recently. Local breed of birds were reared for the supply of eggs and meat. The increasing demand for poultr y products necessitates augmenting the supply by importing improved breeds of poultry.

In 1961, the proportion of hybrid populations in the total population of poultry was about 2 percent. Within a couple of decades, these birds have dominated the market sidelining the indigenous birds. The technological advances have revolutionized the role and the structure of poultry industry in India. It became one of the most specialized enterprises in many parts of the country.

Chickens carry disease

Chickens don’t carry any more risk of disease than a dog or cat. In fact, they love to eat ticks and other pesky critters known to transmit diseases like Lyme disease, tapeworm and heartworm.

While salmonella can be transmitted to humans through poultry dander and feces, simply washing hands after handling the chickens keeps the risk of infection minimal. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also cautions against live poultry inside the home and against letting children younger than five years old handle poultry. ü

Chickens attract rodents and predators

“Wild predators are not any more attracted to chickens than they are to wild birds, rabbits, squirrels and other small animals,”. “The truth is, predators are likely already living in midst. The key to keeping them at bay is to keep chickens safe in an enclosed pen or run area. Chicken feed should also be taken up at night and stored in predatorproof container s to reduce the possibility of flies and mice.” ü

Chickens are noisy

“Despite what we have heard, chickens are pretty quiet. In fact, a clucking chicken tends to be on par with normal human conversation (60–65 decibels).

In other words, it’s a lot quieter than Continue page on...30

POULTRY BORNE DISEASES: A POTENTIAL THREAT TO FOOD SAFETY Introduction Safety is a priority at every stage of the food chain from farm to fork; this step ensures hygienic food available to consumers and is safe to eat. However, they may occasionally become contaminated to a level which spoils the food and cause illness if eaten. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that in spite of advancement in modern technology and efforts to provide safe food, food borne diseases remain a major public health concern.

The greatest risk to the consumer is through mishandling of food in establishments like restaurants, hotels and in home. Home is a particular area where improved consumer awareness of food safety issues can reap rewards in terms of risk reduction. How does food become contaminated by microbes?

What can the consumers to do help ensure that the food he or she eats is safe? Creating awareness among people to prevent the egg and meat borne diseases to lessen the harmful effects of the diseases is very much essential.

Causes of egg and meat borne diseases Egg and meat contain pathogenic microbes, which may cause harmful diseases. Fresh meat is usually sterile.

However, changes after harvesting or slaughter, or during processing may allow microbes to enter the food.

1.

Failure to thoroughly heat or cook egg and meat will invite diseases.

2.

Through infected employees who practice poor personal hygiene at home and at work place.

3.

Contaminated ingredients incorporated into foods that receive no further cooking

4.

Failure to reheat cooked foods to temperature that kill bacteria

botulinum, Clostridium welchi Endogenous animal infection transmissible to man by poultry meat Salmonellosis, Erisipelothrix, Ornithosis, Tuberculosis Salmonellosis

Poultry at greatest risk The incidence of contamination is probably highest in poultry. Here, rapid growth in poultry production and failure to adopt suitable hygienic measures during production lead to diseases. There has been increased infection with food poisoning microbes in poultry meat and eggs. Eggs can carry bacteria such as Salmonella enteritis on their shells or within the egg. Salmonella infections are on increase across the world.

An important precaution in preventing food borne illness from poultry and eggs is through cooking; the World Health Organization recommends that raw egg should be viewed as a potentially hazardous ingredient which should not be used in foods which will receive no further heat treatment.

Meat borne diseases through chemical or toxicological origin Alkaloids and other toxic substances from ergotized grain, consumed by animals do not accumulate to toxic levels in meat tissues but they may accumulate in viscera such as liver and kidney. The two main dangers of antibiotic which are frequently used in poultry production are development of antibiotic resistant micro-organism and allergic reaction associated with residual traces of antibiotics.

A

fter 23 peacocks died in the last one month following an outbreak of Newcastle disease in Gurgaon district, forest department officials said the Department of Animal Husbandry has been asked to inspect all poultry farms to ascertain if they are infected, and quarantine them if required.It has also been asked to initiate a vaccination drive among poultry to prevent the spread of the disease, the officials added. The disease is a kind of airborne virus that is spread through poultry… It is not fatal but if medication is not administered on time, there is a threat to the lives of birds, said Vinod Kumar,

Conser vator of Forest.

For ty birds are being treated at a centre in Bhondsi. To p ro te c t t h e peacocks, we have started spraying antiviral medicine in areas that are frequented by the birds. Also, 80,000 doses of the vaccine have been provided to poultry farms and backyard poultry, which will be administered orally,” said veterinary surgeon Dr Ashok Khasa. He added that 22 peacock deaths were reported in Faridabad and Palwal over the last few weeks.

PRODUCTS DERIVED FROM LIVESTOCK & POULTRY

1 Sep 2018 --- A joint public meeting to discuss the use of cell culture technology to develop products derived from livestock and poultry is to be hosted by the US government officials in the fall. Hosted by the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it will focus on the potential hazards, oversight considerations, and labeling of cell cultured food products derived from livestock and poultry. This is an important opportunity to hear from the agricultural industry and consumers as we consider the regulator y framework for these new products,” says US Secretary of Agriculture, Sonny Perdue. American farmers and ranchers feed the world, but as technology advances, we must consider how to inspect and regulate to ensure food safety, regardless of the production method. He FDA knows just how vital it is to ensure the safety of our nation's food supply and the critical role science-based, modern regulator y frameworks are to fostering innovation.

Recent advances in animal cell cultured food products present many important and timely technical and regulatory considerations for the FDA and our partners at USDA,adds FDA Commissioner, Scott Gottlieb. “We look forward to the opportunity to hold a meeting with our USDA colleagues as part of an open public dialogue regarding these products.

The first day of the meeting will focus primarily on the potential hazards that need to be controlled for the safe production of animal cell cultured food products and oversight considerations by regulatory agencies. The second day of the meeting will focus on labeling considerations. he joint public meeting, hosted by the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service and the FDA, will focus on the potential hazards, oversight considerations, and labeling of cell cultured food products derived from livestock and poultr y. Representatives of industr y, consumer groups and other stakeholders are invited to participate in the meetings which are scheduled for October 23 and 24.

he alert concerns Empire Kosher Poultry raw whole chicken and raw chicken parts, which were produced and sold to consumers from September 2017 to June 2018. The alert affects the northeastern and mid-Atlantic states.

The Empire Kosher brand raw chicken items, which may include raw whole chicken, raw chicken parts, were produced and sold to consumers from September 2017 to June 2018. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service was notified of multiple Salmonella illnesses and there is a potential link between the Empire Kosher products and the illness cluster. Multiple case-patients reported consumption of the Empire Kosher brand chicken products. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged to properly handle, prepare, and cook these raw chicken products.

authorities for samples of the latest strain of a dangerous and evolving avian influenza virus, known as H7N9 have so far been ignored, the Telegraph has learned, The news comes on the back of revelations earlier this week by the United States’ government that China has, for over a year, refused its requests to share lab samples of the same strain of avian influenza virus. To date there have been 1,625 cases of H7N9 – a virus which usually circulates in poultry – in humans including a spike in cases in 2017, which prompted US

virus from Chinese authorities. Under World Health Organization (WHO) rules, countries are required to share flu viruses that have the potential to cause pandemics to help other nations prepare in the case of a global outbreak.

The sharing of viruses comes under the remit of various government agencies with health considerations sometimes pitted against competing interests such as concerns over bio-security and commercial interests in developing treatments.

WHO committee of leading virologists, bacteriologists and infectious disease experts has identified a new global threat. 'Disease X' joins the ranks of Ebola, Zika, and SARS with its potential for epidemics or pandemics, a leading UK exper t confirmed that China had - in 2013 and 2016 - shared early forms of the H7N9 virus with international par tners i n c l u d i n g t h e U K . H o w e v e r, a subsequent UK request for an alternative version of the virus made over a year ago “for safety considerations” has not been met.

China has given no reason for its failure

to deliver the samples here or in America and experts are unsure of its motivations, sharing viruses allows c o u n t r i e s t o d e v e l o p va c c i n e s , diagnostic tests and treatments. It is not known if the last H7N9 sample shared

by China in 2016 is up to date enough to develop a vaccine against the newer forms of the virus should the need to develop and roll out a vaccine arise.

However, chief executive Leif Bergville Hansen said "we expect the outbreak of bird flu to have no further negative impact going forward Still, Scandia said all trade restrictions due to bird flu had now been lifted. The restrictions were imposed in November 2016 following its detection in Denmark, Sweden and Finland and other countries.

Meanwhile, Scandia said the recent warm weather in Europe has affected grain harvests and therefore expects prices at its feed suppliers to increase in the "coming quarters". The company plans to recover those costs by raising its own prices, it said.

POULTRY FARMERS CRY FOUL S ince February, Deepak Pawale, who runs a poultry farm at Retavadi village in Khed taluka of Pune district, has been selling 45-day-old birds weighing 2-2.5 kg each at well below his estimated production cost of Rs 70 per kg, The traders aren't ready to pay higher rates, as they tell me that their sales have slowed down,” says this 38year-old, who has been in the business — of p ro c u r i n g d a y - o l d c h i c k s (weighing roughly 40 grams) from hatcheries and rearing them for sale as young meat-yielding broilers — since 2010. Pawale, who sells around 15,000 birds per month, claims to have made a loss of Rs 4 lakh in March alone, that's not surprising, given that broiler realisations averaged below Rs 54 per kg in March — the lowest for this month in recent times (see box). “If the rates remain at these levels, I will have to shut my farm. When my production costs have gone up from Rs 55-60 to Rs 70 per kg in the last two years, but realizations are falling, how can I sustain this business?” Pawale asks. For poultry farmers like him, March is normally synonymous with high prices, compensating for lower realisations in other months. Demand for meat generally goes down during summer

months, but prices improve because the birds take longer to gain the requisite weight for being “placed” (sold) in the market. “I place about 1015 per cent less birds in March-May, but my realisations are about Rs 20/kg higher than for the other months,” explains Pawale. Prasanna Pedgaonkar, deputy general manager of the Punebased Venkateshwara Hatcheries Private Limited that markets poultry products under the brand name of Venky's, attributes the low broiler rates to dip in consumption. “This time, the onset of summer has occurred earlier.

That could be one of the factors behind consumption falling,” he notes. A city like Pune alone normally reports chicken meat consumption of 1-1.5 lakh kg per day, while that figure for Mumbai is around 10 lakh kg. An estimated three crore birds are placed in an average month in the whole of Maharashtra. However, Rohit Pawar, chief executive officer of Baramati Agro Ltd, believes that the reasons for the dip in consumption go beyond seasonal factors. “There is a general economic slowdown that is clearly leading to lower consumption of non-vegetarian food. This is especially so with chicken, which is eaten by many, including those

who are vegetarian in the normal course. But when the economy is not doing too well as incomes aren't growing, these sections would be less inclined to consume the meat,” observes Pawar. His company places about 325 lakh birds annually, much of it by aggregating from contract broiler farmers who are supplied day-oldchicks along with nutritional feed, medicines and vaccines. Pawar's views are echoed by Ganesh Shetty, president of the Pune Restaurant and Hoteliers Association. According to him, there is a 20 per cent drop in eating out, which is a result of the 5 per cent Goods and Services Tax levy on restaurants and overall weak consumer sentiment from stagnating incomes. Pune alone has over 1,000 non-vegetarian restaurants that consume 60,000-70,000 kg of chicken daily. In Mumbai, A and B grade hotels alone are reckoned to account for over a tenth of the city's 10 lakh kg daily poultry meat consumption.
