If this is some kind of add-stunt or something

innovative in the realm of egg industry has not been

clearly explained by the producers of “Branded

Eggs”. Anyway, the small producers have become

successful in creating a niche for their innovative

product, BRANDED EGGS. Selling Branded eggs has

not become so easy in the retail market because the

price is almost double the price of ordinary eggs in the market.

A few years ago some poultry farmers in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, launched

branded eggs but discarded the practice due to lack of point of sale. The

consumers, however, have become very much conscious about these

branded eggs, just like organic poultry products.

The branded eggs have a higher vitamin and mineral content and are free

from odor. They ensure a clean production atmosphere and stringent

production norms, while the unbranded eggs may be contaminated. Other

features for branded eggs are; low cholesterol content, high DHM content

and folic acid. These eggs are mostly rich in protein, contain less fat and, in

cases, have herbal features.

While the whole country consumes 3.6 billion eggs every month, the

branded eggs constitute only around six million eggs. But this segment is

likely to catch up first in cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and

Bangalore, and is growing at an annual rate of 20 per cent.

Poultry farmers are hopeful that growing incomes and health-

consciousness will help them switch over from unbranded to branded

eggs. They also observed that the demand for normal eggs dwindled by 40

per cent but that of branded eggs fell by only 10 per cent.

Very soon the egg farmers will be able to bring out eggs for specific

category of people with specific requirements such as children, heart

patients, diabetics and pregnant women as well. Generally the eggs with

low Glycemic Index (G.I.) values are recommended for consumption by

the diabetics.

Albeit the branded eggs are priced higher than loose eggs, the demand is

increasing as it gives a premium look and appeal. So majority of first class

customers prefer these eggs The branded egs ensures quality and

convenience and the concept of branding eggs is fast catching up with the

egg producers.

Zinc complexes improve feed conversionDietary zinc stimulates immunity and supports skeletal development, feathering and skin strength, etc. In addition, feeding highly bioavailable sources of zinc, such as zinc complexes, to broilers also shows improvements in gain and feed conversion.By Wiebe van der Sluis, Rooster45, Doetinchem, The Netherlands

Zinc is an essential trace element in all living systems from bacteria, plants and animals to humans. Its biological function was not understood until 1934. It took another 20 years before naturally occurring zinc deficiency was recognized as the cause of parakeratotic (hardening and cracking) lesions of the skin of pigs, and slow growth, poor feathering and abnormal skeletal development in poultry. Recent poultry literature suggests zinc deficiency in poultry is associated with footpad lesions and poor carcass quality due to scratches and skin damage. This made poultry producers and nutritionists realise that adequate dietary zinc supplementation is critical in poultry production.

Bioavailability of zinc

Zinc is primarily absorbed in the small intestine. However, it is known that binding form and other dietary ingredients can influence the bioavailability of zinc. In monogastric animals, phytate, for example, decreases zinc absorption. Dietary calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, nickel, copper and iron also affect zinc bioavailability.

There are differences in bioavailability between

various zinc sources. Most of them are quite low,

for example: the absolute bioavailability for zinc

oxide is 22%, for zinc sulphate 23% and for zinc

acetate 19%. It is also true that the

relative biological value of zinc sources

varies (see Table 1).

Growth promotion effects

Because of the low zinc content in some

feed ingredients with varying levels of

bioavailabily, it is necessary to add zinc

to poultry diets. In the European Union,

zinc diet contents are allowed up to 150

mg/kg feed. These levels cover largely

the recommended requirements for

most animals, especially when highly

bioavailable zinc complexes are

supplemented.

When feeding zinc complexes within

these legal limits, it helps decrease the

severity of footpad and skin lesions, as

well as improve feathering condition

and skeletal development. Since zinc

also stimulates the development of the

immune system, providing sufficient

bioavailable zinc results in healthier

birds. Trials conducted in various parts

of the world clearly indicate that zinc

complexes have a positive effect on

body weight and feed conversion in

broilers, as well as egg production and

shell quality in laying hens. These

effects are more notable during heat

stress.

Improved performance

Recently, researchers at Auburn

U n i v e r s i t y , A l a b a m a , U S A ,

investigated the influence of zinc

complexes on live performance and

carcass grade of broilers. They reported

that feed conversion was improved for

female broilers fed Zn complexes at 25

and 42 d of age and male broilers at 21 d

of age. In a follow up study, the same

group showed (in a trial with 1440 male

Ross broilers over 49 days) a feed:gain

of 1.701 versus 1.736 for broilers fed zinc

complexes and ordinary sulphate,

respectively (Figure 1). A summary of

22 trials from Zinpro Corporation

showed that feeding broilers zinc

complexes improved the feed efficiency

by 3 .9 points (0 .039 or a 2%

improvement) when weights were

equalized to those of the sulphate

control (Figure 2). This feed efficiency

advantage continued to persists even

when broilers were reared to heavier

weights (>3.4 kg). These results show

that providing suff ic ient z inc

complexes helps improves bird

performance.

Some zinc facts3

• Zinc is needed for immunity, cell division, cell growth, wound healing, and carbohydrate metabolism.

• Zinc is also needed for the senses of smell and taste.

• Zinc from plant sources is not as available for use by the body as the zinc from animal sources. Therefore, low-protein and vegetarian diets tend to be low in zinc.

BRAZIL - The opening ceremony of the 24th

World Poultry Congress took place in Salvador

in the state of Bahia on 5th August. The event

marked the centenary of the very first congress.

Representing more than 90 countries on all five

continents, delegates gathered at the

Convention Centre in the Brazilian city for the

opening ceremony of the World Poultry

Congress.

Australia's Dr Bob Pym, president of the WPSA,

welcomed the guests and delegates, explaining

that this Congress is a special one, marking the

centenary of the organisation. The International

Association of Poultry Instructors, as it was then

called, held its first meeting in 1912, attended by

delegates from just 12 countries. Six years later,

the World's Poultry Science Association was

formed, an organisation that now includes

almost 8,000 members in 80 countries.

He said. The organisation has always had the

goal of helping family farmers in developing

countries to improve poultry production with

technology and the latest science, aiming to

make them self-sufficient in poultry meat and

eggs, sustainably. Never has this help been more

needed than in these days of high and volatile

feed prices, he stressed, when developing

countries are under greater pressure from the

effects of drought and use of land for biofuel

production.

President of the Congress organising body,

FACTA, Dr Edir da Silva, replied and welcomed

the guests and delegates. He highlighted the

development of the Brazilian poultry meat

industry over the last decades to one that is now

the world's top exporter of this product,

accounting for 40 per cent of the total volume of

poultry meat graded across the world.

He identified the strong integrated supply chain

in his country as the basis for this success, and

stressed the need to support the many small

family farms on which the industry depends, as

an example of the sustainable growth that is

vital for further expansion.

Francisco Turra, chairman of the Brazilian

WPC 2012: 24th World Poultry Congress opens in Salvador poultry producers and exporters association,

UBABEF, offered a number of examples of the

importance of poultry meat to the economy of

his country. In 2011, exports reached 4.11

million tonnes, worth US$8.85 billion, or more

than three per cent of the country's total exports

and went to 150 countries. Nevertheless, two-

thirds of poultry meat produced is aimed at the

domestic market. The industry provides

employment for 1.2 million people in chicken

production and a total of 3.5 million direct and

indirect jobs.

The sustainability of the industry is important,

he stressed, economically, in poultry health and

for improving social conditions as it depends on

successful partnerships between small farms

and large organisations. Furthermore,

production can be achieved with less

environmental impact than in many countries,

he said, adding the a chicken in Brazil has half

the carbon dioxide emissions of one produced in

the UK.

In his address, Minister of Agriculture, Mendes

Ribeiro Filho, stated that the aims of President

Dilma Rousseff's government include self-

sufficiency in corn (maize) by next year and the

eradication of poverty over the coming decade.

Until the 1970s, Brazil imported many basic

foods but it has applied the best technologies to

triple food production over 20 years and food

exports now contribute much to the country's

positive balance of trade.

Brazil is in an outstanding position to meet the

demands of the world's growing human

population, the Minister said.

Last but by no means least to address the

Congress opening ceremony was the Governor

of the state of Bahia, Jaques Wagner. Salvador

was Brazil's first capital city, he said.

He encouraged investment in the poultry

industry in the state, which currently provides

just 12 per cent of the eggs and 60 per cent of the

chicken consumed in Bahia. Brazil's poultry

industry is centred in the south, south-east and

mid-west states.

The world leader in poultry vaccine technology

CEVA has combined two of its poultry vaccines

into a single dose that will protect against

Newcastle, Gumboro and Marek's disease.

Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) has been a long

standing challenge in the field. Producers

needed a vaccine that worked in the presence of

a relatively high level of maternal antibodies.In

response, CEVA developed CEVAC®

Transmune IBD, a unique vaccine utilizing

upgraded immune complex technology that

eliminated the difficulties of vaccinating for IBD

by overcoming the challenge of when to

vaccinate and the problem of non-uniform

administration in the chicken house. It also

Ceva combines poultry vaccines into single dose against three diseasesmade it possible to provide lifetime protection

against all forms of IBD with a single dose

administered via in ovo (in the egg) or

subcutaneous injection.

The company's Gumboro vaccine, Transmune

IBD, and its Newcastle Disease vector vaccine,

Vectormune ND (which also protects against

Marek's Disease), can be mixed in diluent with a

blue vaccine tracer and administered in the

hatchery, either in ovo or subcutaneously at one

day old, according to Ceva. "Vaccinating chicks

against Gumboro and Newcastle disease has

always been difficult for broiler producers

because of the uncertainty around what day to

administer," said Ceva.

The two vaccines used to come in packages in

different sizes, but the company has

standardized the packaging for ease of use.

Transmune IBD and Vectormune ND are now

available in uniform 1,000-, 2,000- and 4,000-

“Triple-S Bottom Line” - “Solutions, Services,

Sustainability”. In simple terms, Novus

partners with the customers by offering

sustainable solutions and services. The

company embraces science and has a sense of

curiosity that stimulates innovative thinking

and actions toward everything it does.

Where you see Novus after 10 years in South

Asia poultry & livestock market?

We are striving to bring innovative programs

and products to address the challenges

experienced by our customers to improve

their productivity and profitability while

being environmentally sustainable. The

future of Novus in South Asia looks positive

and exciting: through organic growth,

acquisitions and technology partnerships, we

see ourselves as the Top most solution

provider in Animal Health and Nutrition.

What are your major programs for the

Indian poultry industry?

Novus helps the customers to improve the

productivity through various programs like;

“Feed Cost Reduction”, “Trace Mineral

Optimization”, “Feed Mill Efficiency”,

“Pathogen Control”, “Feed Hygiene”, “Feed

Quality”, “Gut Health” and “Egg Shell

Quality.

In the current scenario, feed raw material

prices are sky rocketing. Can you elaborate

the Feed Cost Reduction program?

At present, the Industry is witnessing a

tremendous spike in raw material prices. The

major reasons are lower productions from

major producers like USA and Latin America

and increased demand from China and other

Asian countries. It appears that it is going to

stay on for some time.

The animal feed industry has been forced to

look for and explore the alternate feed

ingredients to keep the finished feed prices

and animal protein prices as affordable as

possible.

In this scenario, Novus has helped the

industry in sharing the work done for last

several years on improving the amino acid

digestibility in raw materials with Cibenza

DP 100.

This allows us to use and get more out of raw

materials like De-oiled rice bran, rice polish,

meat and bone meal, mustard meal, cotton

seed meal, etc which have significantly lower

amount of digestible amino acids.

What are future key drivers for the growth

of Novus in Indian poultry industry?

Performance, Animal Well Being, Food Safety

and Environment are the key areas driving

Novus not only in India but also globally.

What are the major challenges in the Indian

poultry industry?

Agricultural productivity and inconsistent

supply of feed raw materials, quality of feed

raw materials and drinking water, man

power, immune challenges due to various

reasons are the major concerns in the poultry

industry. We look at health and nutrition

i s s u e s f r o m a h o l i s t i c p e r s p e c t i v e ,

recognizing that only an integrated approach

will make a clear, sustainable economic

difference to our customers.

What are the major expectations of poultry

farmers from Novus?

Though the industry is steadily growing at a

phase of 8-15% in various segments, still it is

facing unexpected fluctuations in raw

material and finished product prices, quality

issues and disease outbreaks. Poultry

industry is expecting a lot of innovative

concepts and programs to moderate the cost

of production while maintaining the superior

quality. INTE

Nepal.

Based on Science

Novus International, Inc. was founded in

1991, but our scientific roots and history

originated over 50 years ago. In the 1950s, St.

Louis, Missouri-based Monsanto Company

began conducting livestock and poultry feed

metabolism studies. In 1959, one of its

products received FDA approval as an animal

feed additive, which helped launch the

Monsanto division that would become

Novus. In 1991, in an effort to focus on its core

b u s i n e s s e s - s e e d , h e r b i c i d e a n d

biotechnology - Monsanto sold its Feed

Ingredients division to Mitsui & Co. Ltd. and

Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. The new owners saw

Novus's strategic potential for growth.

In our first year, we put into place the

corporate Vision of "helping to feed the world

affordable, wholesome food." At the time,

this Vision statement was considered a bold

goal and some questioned how Novus could

realistically make a contribution. We were a

small, business-to-business company with

two products for the poultry industry, but we

understood that Novus's core knowledge of

health and nutrition related to poultry could

be beneficial to other species.

Working from a strong base of scientific

understanding, we have brought to market

more than 100 new products over the past

decade. Today the Novus product portfolio

provides a holistic approach to Health

through Nutrition for poultry, cattle, pigs,

pets, farm-raised fish, horses and people.

AMI submitted comments today on the Food Safety and Inspection

Service's (FSIS) Compliance Guideline HACCP Systems Validation,

stating that it has been significantly improved and will provide tools

to support establishments in completing and meeting validation

requirements. AMI comments offered several recommendations for

implementation to help achieve a seamless transition, including

determining how non-critical control points should be validated.

The comments state, “Whether to validate CCPs [Critical Control

Points], prerequisite programs, or both is a decision that could

impact the effectiveness of food safety programs. It may also have an

economic impact on the cost of inspection personnel reviewing

documents and programs that do not impact food safety.

Establishments could have prerequisite programs to address

environmental issues such as pest control, employee hygiene and

sanitation practices, among others. Programs of this nature should

not be subject to validation requirements. However, in the absence

of a CCP, prerequisite programs referenced in the process flow chart

should be validated.”

AMI also recommended that the self-assessment contained in the

Guideline be used to confirm whether the establishment's HACCP

program is validated, as well as additional self-assessment questions

that could be added to the Guideline to aid in the review of validation

program.

NEW DELHI

Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development

Authority (APEDA), the government-run export promotion body for

farm products said that the export of agricultural items jump by 88 per

cent to close to Rs 82,000 crore in the last fiscal.

The increased export of processed foods, basmati, non-basmati rice, guar

(gum and seed), buffalo meat and groundnut fuelled the growth in farm

items.

India's agri exports under APEDA stood at Rs 43,626.88 crore during the

last financial year (2010-11). According to the report, the growth was

achieved on the back of increased export of processed foods, basmati,

non-basmati rice, guar (gum and seed), buffalo meat and groundnut.

The increase of processed food export from the country is a positive sign

and the country also witnesses huge benefits from the global increase in

demand for guar seed and gum due to rise in shale gas explorations in the

US.

The allowance of export of non-basmati rice last year also elevated the

shipments. There was healthy demand for groundnuts and buffalo meat,

of which India is a major exporter in the overseas markets.

In the 2011-12, the export earnings from processed food, which includes

processed fruits and vegetables, meat and poultry products, etc.,

increased to Rs 38,950 crore from around Rs 15,816 crore in the year-ago

period.

In the similar fashion, the earnings from shipment of buffalo meat

jumped to around Rs 14,000 crore in 2011-12 compared to Rs 8,412.68

crore in 2010-11 fiscal.

Farm exports increase by 88% to nearly Rs 82,000 cr during Fy12

GERMANY - The German Parliament has reached

cross party agreement to boost animal welfare

regulations.

Federal Agriculture Minister Ilse Aigner told a

symposium in Bonn last week: "This decision is an

important signal to legislature, executives and

judiciary. The protection of animals has been

greatly upgraded."

She said that Germany has high standards

compared to other European animal welfare

standards and it could be proud of its science-based

approach as well as the approach of its farmers. She

added that in the area of animal welfare special

attention had been paid to animal husbandry.

Minister Aigner said there will be a broad public

debate on the issue because for the regulations to be

successful they needed consumer acceptance.

The discussion process, which is in the "Charter for

Agriculture and Consumers" of the federal

Department of Agriculture (BMELV), will

continue, the minister said."We have to keep going

and continue to develop the standards of modern

animal husbandry steadily - in a dialogue on the

research with farmers and consumers.”

Germany Reviewing Animal Welfare StandardsThe symposium "10 Years of the State Target for

Animal Protection" saw scientists, farmers and

representatives of animal protection groups come

together.

"Talking to each other instead of talking about each

other - that's my clear vision on animal welfare and

animal husbandry. "All of us to hear the arguments

of others and to check their own arguments," said

Ms Aigner.

The Minister stressed that there is a broad

consensus on animal welfare.

The protection of animals has been a high priority

for the federal government, the Minister stressed

and pointed to the recent amendment to the

Animal Welfare Act, which contained a number of

improvements for animal welfare in Germany,

such as the phasing out of the castration of piglets

without anaesthetic by 2017 or the implementation

of the EU Laboratory Animal Directive into

German law.

"Whether it is the reduction of animal testing or the

development of alternative animal husbandry,

research and development are driving forces for

more animal welfare in Germany," Minister Aigner

said.

She added that it is also important to gain a new

impetus particularly on animal-friendly

production of food with methods that are generally

accepted by the public.

The German Agricultural Research Alliance

(DAFA) recently submitted new advice for

research and on the basis of these proposals specific

research projects and funding are now being

formulated.

The innovation support programme of the BMELV

has received funding of €34 million this year.

The minister concluded: "I am convinced that

Germany is not only a leading location for high-

tech agricultural machinery - Germany is also a

leading centre for sustainable, environmentally-

friendly animal agriculture.

“And we will continue to be successful if everyone

works together - farmers, who live with animal

welfare in animal production, animal welfare

organisations, who are committed to the issue, and

science and industry with their innovations.”

UK - The NFU, BPC and BEIC have written to the major retailers asking them to recognise the soaring commodity cost pressures and the impact this

has on production costs.

The UK the poultry industry uses in excess of 5.5 million tonnes of compound feed in laying hen, broiler, turkey and breeder farming systems every

year. In recent weeks the prices for wheat and soya have risen rapidly due to adverse weather conditions.

The letter calls for supermarkets take in to account the effect that the fundamental changes in commodity prices have had on poultry producers when

in pricing considerations and promotional schedules for the year ahead, and that it is everyone's interest to maintain long-term sustainable chains.

GLOBAL - AB Vista has launched a unique,

fully automated, 'real time' global Corn

Quality Service. The service uses Near Infra-

Red (NIR) spectroscopy to predict quality of

corn (maize).

The Corn Quality Service has been developed

by AB Vista and its sister company, Aunir,

which is a world expert in Near Infra-Red

(NIR) spectroscopy. NIR provides an

alternative method to wet chemistry for

analysing corn quality. Aunir has developed

a database of NIR spectra, from which

proximate component values can be

predicted and energy values estimated based

on quality parameters.

The results of NIR analysed via the Corn

Quality Service provide AB Vista customers

with instant and accurate predictions. This

facilitates decision making and enables

adjustments to be made in real time meaning

that customers can optimise ingredients and

additives use in diet formulations. .

The Corn Quality Service is a sophisticated

web-based tool that delivers results to the

customers instantly. This in turn enables the

AB Vista technical team to offer advice on

how to maximise output from a particular

batch of corn. The results will be better

managed in an online system which can be

accessed remotely or onsite. Finally, the

development of this service will allow a

greater number of samples to be analysed,

meaning that more of AB Vista's customers

can benefit from this service and knowledge.

Commenting on the launch, Dr Tiago Santos,

Technical Services Manager for AB Vista,

said: “The launch of the online, fully

automated Corn Quality Service has made

the process faster and more accessible

customers. AB Vista is looking forward to

being able to offer support and advice to more

of its customers with this service.”

AB Vista Launches Online Corn Quality Service

BRAZIL - The president of the Brazilian branch of

WPSA, Dr Edir Nepomuceno da Silva, set out his

goals for the future at a satellite meeting,

organised by Novus, at the World Poultry

Congress in Salvador yesterday, 6th August.

Among these is to help develop the poultry

industry in Africa, an ambitious aim on which

Novus has already made a start. Jackie Linden,

senior editor, reports.

The real business of the 24th World Poultry

Congress started in earnest yesterday, 6th

August, with six concurrent conferences sessions

covering a variety of topics from poultry health

and nutrition to welfare/environment,

slaughtering and genetics. There is also a

substantial exhibition area featuring exhibits and

stands from local and global suppliers to the

poultry industry.

At an event organised by Novus entitled 'The

Future of the Poultry Industry: Are you Ready?',

the president of the WPSA branch hosting the

Congress, Dr da Silva, expressed his hopes and

priorities for the next four years, a period in which

he will be president of the global WPSA if he is

elected later this week.

The first conference was held in 1912, in London,

and the World's Poultry Science Association now

has almost 8,000 members of 81 national branches

around the world.

Dr da Silva stressed how much the poultry

industry has developed over that time and so too

has the WPSA.

If he is elected president, he wants to develop

closer links of the WPSA with African countries,

taking expertise from his country and others to

help grow poultry production to meet the

demands of an ever increasing human

population. Salvador is the top African city

outside Africa, he explained, and Brazil can offer

that continent the benefits of its research and

expertise.

He is also keen to propose more frequent,

regional meetings of WPSA in conjunction with

other events, such as exhibitions, to explore new

WPC 2012: Brazil's WPSA President Shares a Vision for Africa

topics in a regional content, while aiming o keep

the meetings free of commercial bias.

One of the most positive aspects of the present

Congress, said Dr da Silva, was a Student

Programme arranged by WPSA for 33 students to

meet in Sao Paulo and spend one week, travelling

around Brazil and getting to know all the aspects

of the poultry industry while also providing the

participants with the opportunity to get to know

each other and to network.

Another Congress development of which Dr da

Silva is proud is the large area for posters,

conveniently placed between the Congress

sessions, exhibition area and food court, offering

plenty of opportunity for visitors to find out more

about the very many one-year research projects

presented there. The posters are set to remain in

place throughout the Congress.

Finally, Dr da Silva congratulated Novus on

organising a satellite meeting that addressed the

real issues facing the industry today, including

the opportunities and challenges in the global

poultry market and the future of poultry nutrition

in the context of high and volatile feed ingredient

prices.

Following on Dr da Silva's commitment to the

African continent, the executive director of

Novus in Latin America, Luis Azevedo, said his

company, together with the government of Chad

and other partners including Globoaves, are

setting up a model poultry production project,

Poulet Koundoul in the central African country.

Chad has a population of over 11 million and an

annual rate of population increase of 3.6 per cent.

The project aims to transfer technology in the

form of a whole poultry production chain from

hatchery and feed mill, through growing the

broilers and to a modern processing facility.

The aims of the project, explained Mr Azevedo,

are to increase food security in the country,

improve food safety, build production capacity

and transfer technology, with an output of 20,000

broilers per day, providing 1,500 jobs and offering

15 different poultry products.

INDIA - It is not only the prices of staples, edible

oils and vegetables that have been rising. Prices

of eggs and chicken (protein food items) may

also rise in the coming months.

The Times of India reports that scanty rainfall

and higher global prices have led to a huge

increase in average prices of poultry feed in the

country, which is also an early indicator of the

potential impact a drought may have on food

inflation.

Average prices of poultry feed - consisting of

oilseed cakes, rice bran, grounded maize and

soya - rose by 69 per cent year-on-year in July up

from 18 per cent in June, due to lack of rainfall

and higher global prices, a Nomura research

says. These price increases outpaced those

during the 2009 drought. Feed is a key input in

Chicken and Egg Prices Likely to Risepoultry farming, and this sharp price increase

suggests that prices of eggs and chicken (protein

food items) may rise sharply in the coming

months, the note adds.

If farmers choose to substitute poultry feed with

cereals, then prices for cereals could rise as well.

Rising feed prices are an early indicator of the

potential impact that the deficient monsoons

could have on food prices. As delayed

monsoons hurt production of vegetables, cereal

and oilseeds, we expect WPI food (primary and

manufactured) inflation, which is currently 9

per cent year-on-year, to rise into double digits

in the coming months. This will keep both WPI

(wholesale price index) and CPI ( consumer

price index) inflation elevated above the central

bank's comfort zone.

MEXICO - The federal government has

announced that no anti-dumping duties will

be applied to imports of chicken legs from the

US, despite what it describes as unfair

practices by US exporters. The reason given

for the decision is the current high chicken

prices in the market resulting from

speculation following the recent bird flu

outbreaks in the state of Jalisco.

Mexico's economics ministry reports that the

International Trade Commission (COCEX) is

supporting the proposed Final Resolution of

the anti-dumping investigation on imports of

chicken leg quarters originating in the United

States.

In the Final Determination, the Department

of Economics concludes that there is an

unfair practice by US exporters. However,

the situation with avian influenza (subtype

H7N3) in poultry has led to price increases

not explained by market fundamentals, so a

proposal from the International Trade

Practices Unit (UPCI) will not apply

countervailing duties set out in the

resolution.

COCEX is to analyse the evolution of this

market; the application of anti-dumping

duties will require additional review by the

Commission.

The investigation by the UPCI involved

participation by producers and exporters of

the United States, as well as Mexican

producers and importers. The Ministry of

Economy offered the same opportunities to

all stakeholders including the Government of

the United States to present their arguments

and evidence, made technical information

meetings and held a public hearing.

The Ministry of Economy has said it will

continue to support domestic producers of

chicken and continue to promote the

commercial integration of the markets of

Mexico and the US in this sector for the

benefit of consumers in both countries. The

final decision will be published shortly in

'Diario Oficial de la Federación', the official

journal of the federation.

No Import Duties will be Applied by Maxico on

Tamilnadu announce welfare schemes for poultry, animal husbandry and fishing sectors

In a bid to improve the economic conditions of

those living in rural areas, Tamil Nadu Chief

Minister announced a host of welfare measures,

including higher quantum of subsidized diesel

for fishermen.

An official press release here friday morning

said 20 veterinary hospitals will be opened at a

cost of Rs six crore in a bid to make available

such services closer to those living in villages. To

provide a boost to poultry industry, she

announced two new poultry clusters-one for

Villupuram Zone and other Sankarankoil Zone.

Villupuram, Cuddalore, Ariyalur and

Perambalur Districts would come under

Villupuram Zone while Tirunelveli, Tuticorin,

Virdhunagar come under Sankarankoil Zone. A

sum of Rs 20.31 crore has been allocated for the

purpose. Under the scheme, farmers can set up

poultry farms with capacity to house 1,000 to

5,000 broiler chicken. In a bid to encourage

country chicken breeding in 16 districts of Tamil

Nadu, a sum of Rs 2.04 crore has been allocated.

Under this, as many as 35 poultry farms, each

housing 250 birds, will come up in each district.

Considering the welfare of the fishing

community, Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa has

decided to increase the quantity of subsidised

diesel to fishermen using boats fitted with

outboard motors from 200 litre to 250 litre. This

will entail an additional expenditure of Rs 37.25

lakh. Besides, fishermen in Tirunelveli,

Tuticorin and Kanniyakumari Districts will get

additional diesel of up to 100 litre at open

market prices.

Further, in an effort aimed at the fishing

community, she announced increasing the

quantity of subsidised kerosene supplied to

fishermen. The quantum has been increased

from 200 to 250 litres. The Government pays a

subsidy of Rs 25 per litre for country boats with

external engines and this scheme would benefit

fishermen in Tuticorin, Tirunelveli and

Kanyakumari districts, the release said.

With the Government incurring an additional

expenditure of Rs 37.25 lakh for this purpose,

Jayalalithaa has approved a sum of Rs 47.60

crore towards it this year, it added.

ANALYSIS - Rising feed prices are likely to put

poultry companies under increasing pressure,

according to a new report from Rabobank. Four

per cent of global production is forecast to be

traded this year, with the export shares of the

US, EU and Thailand expected to grow at the

expense of Brazil's.

Across the world, the poultry industry is

forecast to come under increasing pressure,

according to the latest 'Poultry Quarterly' report

from Rabobank. The main reason, according to

authors David Nelson, Nan-Dirk Mulder and

Ethan Hendricks, is the escalation in cereal and

oilseed costs. In most regions, producers are

unable to pass on their higher costs to

consumers.

The outlook for the rest of this year remains

challenging, the authors say, as feed costs are

expected to remain high.

The US industry is maintaining tight control on

supply, says Rabobank, citing the fact that

hatchings of pullet chicks were three per cent

lower in May 2012 than in the same month last

Poultry Industry’s Prospects Dominated by Feed Cost Worries

year. This market discipline is paying off for

producers there, while margins are falling for

companies in other countries.

Also on the positive side, the poultry industry is

benefiting from continuing high beef and pork

prices.

Despite the usual decline in the global trade of

poultry meat in the first quarter, Rabobank has

kept its earlier global trade growth projection at

four per cent.

Two factors are identified in the report as likely

to impact global trade in the short term. The first

is the move in Mexico to set import quotas for US

poultry meat a significant move as 16 per cent of

US exports go to its southern neighbour. The

second is the resumption of raw meat exports

from Thailand to the EU from this month,

following a ban since avian flu first hit the

country. Rabobank forecasts increasing

competition between Thailand and Brazil for

the EU market and a fall in prices as a result.

Japan may follow shortly in ending its ban on

imports of raw Thai poultry, according to

Rabobank. Thai expansion may be held back by

rising costs, however, as the country is a net feed

importer.

Brazilian exports are also coming under

pressure as the US and EU are currently

expanding their share of global export market.

According to the report, recent outbreaks of

highly pathogenic bird flu in China and Mexico

are having some signficant effects on local

markets but any impacts on global trade are

expected to be only short-term.

Finally, on mergers and acquisitions in the

industry, Rabobank forecasts a slowing in the

pace of industry consolidation. In the second

quarter of this year, Doux of France, JBS in

Brazil, Cagle's in the US and a JV between

Cherkizovo of Russia and a Spanish partner

were all the news. Production is expected to

start later this year or early 2013 from several

large greenfield projects in Russia, Ukraine and

China.
