“The misinformation passed on through social media about spread of the virus through poultry and egg has reduced prices drastically in the last four-months,” said the director of leading poultry company in Haryana, who didn’t wish to be identified. It’s a double whammy for poultry farmers as birdfeed prices are up by 35-45 per cent compared to the last winter season, he said. The egg industry has taken maximum hit as wholesale prices have slipped below the breakeven level as rising inventories force farmers to push sales. “The supply of egg has swelled against shrinking demand and poultry owners are struck with inventories,” said Sukjinder Singh, a poultry farmer based in Punjab. “We are incurring loss per egg as the input cost is 40-50 per cent higher than a year ago.” He said poultry farmers are not able to pass on the input cost to wholesalers and are incurring loss on birds and...

New Delhi: The animal husbandry, dairy and fisheries ministry is concerned over the low consumption of milk and poultry products due to the lockdown, even though they come under essential services. Union minister for animal husbandry, dairy and fisheries, Giriraj Singh along with ministers of state, Sanjeev Balyan and Pratap Sarangi, have been taking stock of the situation on a regular basis. Ever since the lockdown, both the items have witnessed a decline in consumption largely due to supply and demand issues. Initially, many people didn’t buy chicken because of rumours that Covid-19 might spread through poultry. However, the ministry has been regularly clarifying that there is no harm in having chicken. Post the imposition of the lockdown, poultry shops have remained closed. After receiving complaints, the ministry wrote a letter on March 23 to the chief secretaries of all the states to issue necessary directions to include chicken, egg and meat in the...

New Delhi, The poultry industry in different parts of the country has been hit hard amid rumours that the novel coronavirus can transmitted through consumption of chicken, the prices of which have fallen considerably as a result.Vijay Sardana, an agricultural economist and adviser of the Poultry Federation of India, said that poultrymen were getting just Rs 20 per bird in the market whereas the cost of production was Rs 80.He said the jobs of about two crore people employed in the poultry industry across the country have been impacted.People were avoiding consumption of meat, fish, chicken, and egg etc. Due to the fall in demand, wholesale price of chicken had dropped by as much as 70 per cent. As a result, chicken was now available at Rs 100-150 per kg in retail compared with Rs 180-200 earlier on.Union Minister of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries Giriraj Singh has admitted the...

PUNE: Import of oilmeals, used as animal feed, rose 70% in 2019-20 because of higher demand, stagnant local production and lower duty of shipments from some African countries, trade bodoy Solvent Extractors Association (SEA) said."India imports oilcake/meal for domestic processing and or direct usage in cattle/poultry feeds. During the financial year 2019-20 (Apr.’19 to Mar.’20 ) India imported 1,142,902 tons of various oilcake/meal/feed valued at Rs. 3218.09 crores against 670,709 tons valued at 2558.20 crores during previous year 2018-19, sharply increased by 70% in terms of quantity and 26% in terms of value," a release from SEA said.Demand of oilmeal is rising year as the feed industry is growing at 8% to 10% per annum, while oilseed production in the country is more or less stagnant."The current duty on import of oil bearing material is 19.6%. However, large quantities of oilcake/meals are being imported from certain African countries under India-...

BioMould® Silage PreservativeProper Fermentation Stimulant Ensiling is the preservation of forage based on lactic acid fermentation under anaerobic conditions. The lactic acid bacteria ferment water-soluble carbohydrates in the crop to lactic acid, and to a lesser extent to acetic acid. The production of these acids reduces the pH of the ensiled forage which inhibits spoilage microorganisms’ growth and proliferation (table 1). One of the factors of a proper management for providing good silage is supplementation of that with some additive. Organic acids are used directly (all over or just on the surface) in the silage, in order to protect it by reduction in PH. Propionic acid and formic acid are mostly used for products containing more than 70% moisture and low in glucose such as maize which is high in moisture.Table 1: Fermentation process in corn silagePhases Aerobic Anaerobic StableDays 1 2 3 4-7 8-21 After day 21Events Cellular respiration and production of CO2, heat and water Initiation of fermentation, acetic acid production...

BioMould® – Surface Treatment for SilageIntroductionEnsiling is a forage preservation method based on spontaneous lactic acid fermentation under anaerobic conditions. The epiphytic lactic acid bacteria ferment the water-soluble carbohydrates in the crops to lactic acid-, and, to a lower extent, to acetic acid. Due to the production of these acids the pH of the ensiled material decreases and spoilage microorganisms are inhibited. Once the fresh material has been stacked and covered to exclude air, the ensiling process can be divided into 4 stages: Initial aerobic phase, fermentation phase, stable phase and feed-out phase or aerobic spoilage phase. Phase a : Oxygen + Sugar                  →                                 CO2 + Heat + Water (protein degraded) Phase b : Sugar                                 →   ...

BioMouldApplication: BioMould® is a ready to use preparation made of propionic acid and formic acid to preserve grains, ground grains and feed mixes. BioMould® is also safe and value for money because the costly drying process is unnecessary. The temporary storage which is normally necessary for grains is no longer required and the grains can be used immediately as feed. BioMould® is produced following a special procedure . The content material is held in micro-granules like in a sponge and is released slowly into the feed. Because the acids are found in the core of the micro-granules and not, like with other preparations, applied to the surface of the carrier material they do not come immediately into contact with the skin upon use. The carrier material Vermiculite releases the acids mainly as gas, so that the acid vapours are equally distributed throughout the product to be preserved. Moulds are killed. BioMould® steadily releases the acids during the entire storage period and therefore offers safe...

Physiology of stress in poultry  JAG MOHAN Central Avian Research Institute,Izatnagar(UP)-243 122 Email: [email protected] Advertisement:   Homeostasis mechanisms maintaining the constant internal environment in the body thereby keeps the normal physiological function of the animal / birds. A deviation from normal condition is called the stress. Generally the term “Stress” is used to describe the detrimental effects of variety of factors on the health and performance of poultry. Birds have limited body resources for growth, reproduction, response to environmental changes and defense mechanism (Rosales, 1994). Under the stress conditions, there is redistribution of body resources including energy and protein at the cost of decreased growth, reproduction and health (Beck, 1991; Brake, 1987; Gross and Siegel, 1987). Under the long term stress condition or repeated stress, birds became fatigued and weak. These conditions lead to birds starvation and infectious disease (Dohms, 1990; Freeman, 1987). Domestic birds are subjected to frequent stress factors, and therefore it is important to have an...

Bioavailable Phosphorus Releasing Efficacy of Escherichia coli and Aspergillus Derived Phytases in Broiler Chick DietCarmencita D. Mateo, DVM, MS, PhD* and Mylen S. Billena, BSChem, MSc, PhD Animal and Dairy Sciences Cluster, College of Agriculture, University of the Philippines Los Baños, Laguna 4031, PhilippinesABSTRACT A broiler chick trial investigated the phosphorus (P) releasing efficacy of phytases derived from Eschericia coli (ECP) and Aspergillus niger, a fungus (FP) when added to a corn-soybean meal diet with no supplemental inorganic P (iP). Four graded levels of iP were added to the basal diet to construct a standard curve from which available Prelease could be calculated for the phytase treatment.In all cases, phytase supplementation levels were based on an assessment of phytase premix activity. One phytase unit (FTU) is defined as the amount of enzyme required to release 1 μmol of iP per min from 5.1 mM sodium phytate at 37°C and pH 5.5. Weight gain, weight and percentage of tibia bone ash increased...
