India has one of the world’s largest and fastest growing poultry industries, ranking third in hen egg production (FAOSTAT) and sixth in broiler meat production (USDA/FAS), according to a report by the USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service.
Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 6.4% annually during 2000-2008, making India the second fastest growing major economy in the world (after China). India is expected to overtake China as the world’s most populous country in the coming decades, with middle-class households being the fastest growing segment of the population. About 20% of the population is vegetarian, but with increased incomes and urbanization people prefer to go for non-vegetarian diets.
According to the Ministry of Food Processing Industries, about 70% of poultry is in the organised sector and 30% is in the unorganised sector. Nearly 60-70% of the broiler industry is located in the southern states, as is much of the layer industry. Large integrated operations incorporate all aspects of production: raising grandparent and parent stock, contracting production, compounding feed, and wholesaling. Integration has resulted in lower average costs of production and lower retail prices for poultry meat.
Broiler production grew at an annual percentage growth rate of 8.35% from 2001 (1.25 million metric tons) to 2010 (2.65 million metric tons). Production is projected to grow 2% in 2011 compared to the previous year. Per capita consumption has grown from 1.22 kilograms in 2001 to 2.26 kilograms in 2010, an increase of 185%.
In 2010/2011 (March 2010 to February 2011) India’s egg production is anticipated to reach 61.5 billion eggs, up 68% from 36.6 billion in 2000/2001. Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are the top fowl egg producing states; West Bengal is the top duck egg producing state.
India’s poultry exports are mainly shell eggs and egg products. Exports of poultry meat are limited by high production costs, inadequate meat processing facilities, and intermittent outbreaks of avian influenza. According to FAOSTAT data, since 2005 India has mostly exported dried eggs. In 2008 India’s top three markets for dried eggs were Germany, Denmark and Indonesia. Angola was the top market for liquid eggs.

Russian egg production increases
//23 Aug 2011
The egg production industry in Russia has develop rapidly over the past two years maintaining an average annual growth rate of 3-4%.
In 2010 the total market volume increased by 4.6% compared with 2009 amounting to 43.1 billion units, according to statistical data, of AI Navigator.
Most eggs in Russia are produced in the Volga Federal District. Here in 2010 the total output was about 10.3 billion pieces. The Central Federal District took the second place, with a production capacity of 8.2 billion pieces. South Federal District is the third with total output in 2010 about 5.8 billion eggs.
Large agricultural enterprises are making a great contribution in egg production, providing more poultry and producing more eggs than the private and peasant farms do. Russia's largest egg production company is "Bohr poultry." In 2010, the output of this company has been amounted to 900 million units. The second place belongs to "Sverdlovsk poultry" (846 million peaces). "Roskar" Company closes the list of top three leaders with production capacity about 600 million eggs.
In the short-term it is expected that increases in egg production in the country will continue due to the growth of sales in both retail and industrial sectors of the market.

Poultry industry contributes to Indonesian feed production growth
//19 Aug 2011
Although real data is yet to be calculated, animal feed production in Indonesia is predicted to reach 5 million tonnes during this first semester of 2011, the chairman of Indonesian Feedmills Association, FX Sudirman has stated.
Of that production, 85% or around 4.25 million tonnes would be dominated by poultry feed, such as broiler, layer, duck and quail. The remaining 15% consists of cattle and pig feed and around 500,000 tonnes of aquaculture feed.
Sudirman also stated that three new feedmills have just built in 2010. The first one is owned by PT Malindo Feedmill, the second one is owned by PT New Hope and is located in East Java. The third one is owned by PT East Hope and is located in West Java. “The investment of one feedmill ranged from USD 50 million to USD 100 million,” he said.
Considering the additional three feedmills, Sudirman predicts the total production could reach 10.3 million tonnes at the end of 2011.

Cargill recalls ground turkey and suspends production
//04 Aug 2011
Cargill Value Added Meats Retail, a business unit of Cargill Meat Solutions Corporation, has recalled approximately 36 million pounds of fresh and frozen ground turkey products produced at the company’s Springdale, Arkansas facility, due to possible contamination from Salmonella Heidelberg.
Cargill is initiating the recall as a result of its internal investigation, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) information that became available on Aug. 1, 2011, as well as an ongoing USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) investigation into multiple illnesses from Salmonella Heidelberg.
Additionally, Cargill has suspended production of ground turkey products at its Springdale, Ark., turkey processing facility until it is able to determine the source of the Salmonella Heidelberg and take corrective actions. Other turkey products produced at Springdale are not part of the recall. Cargill owns four turkey processing facilities in the US and no products from the other three are involved in the recall.
“While facts continue to be gathered, and currently there is no conclusive answer regarding the source of Salmonella Heidelberg contamination, given our concern for what has happened, and our desire to do what is right for our consumers and customers, we are voluntarily removing our ground turkey products from the marketplace,” said Steve Willardsen, president of Cargill’s turkey processing business.
“Suspending production until we can determine the source of the Salmonella Heidelberg at our Arkansas facility, and take corrective action, is the right thing to do,” stated Willardsen. “We are closely examining every aspect of our production process and have identified enhancements to our procedures in our efforts to ensure safe food. Eliminating food borne illness is always our goal.”
Cargill has launched awebsite for consumers with any queries regarding the recall.

Kazakhstan steadily increases domestic production
//27 Jun 2011
According to the Ministry of Agriculture in Kazakhstan, poultry production will reach one hundred thousand tonnes in 2011.
In recent years, poultry production increased significantly in Kazakstan. "Our poultry industry is extremely thriving, says Eugene Aman, executive secretary of the Agriculture Ministry. So, four years ago, with 160 thousand tonnes of consumption,domestic production was only 40 thousand tonnes. In 2009, production volume reached 77 tonnes. So either in this year, or in the next year we definitely will come to 100 thousand tonnes produced in Kazakhstan".
In 2010, Kazakhstan imported 109 thousand tons of poultry meat, 92% of which were so-called "Bush legs". According to Aman, Kazakhstan plans to reduce the amount of imported poultry meat every year. "Over the past few years a number of modern farm projects were started, and for the next 5 years, 6 more modern facilities will be built in the country. Over the next 5 years, about 75-80% of domestic consumption of poultry meat we are going to ensure by our own production", Aman said.
Kazakhstan is currently ranked third among the CIS countries for the production of poultry meat, and authorities plan to use government subsidies to help the poultry industry to remain in the numbr of leaders in the nearest future. "Targeted transfers from the central budget to subsidize the increase in productivity and quality of livestock products in the last years significantly increased. If last year they total volume was about 7.2 billion tenge (US$ 49 mln.), the volume of the current subsidies are expected to almost 2 times higher", said Ruslan Sharipov, president of the Union of Poultry Farmers of Kazakhstan.

US broiler meat production down 2% in April
//23 Jun 2011
Total broiler meat production in April 2011 was 2.97 billion pounds, a decrease of 2.3% from the previous year, according to the latest figures from the USDA.
A considerable share of the decline can be attributed to 1 less slaughter day in April 2011. Broiler meat production on a yearover- year basis rose in 3 of the first 4 months in 2011. Processors reported slaughtering 686 million broilers in April 2011, a decrease of 4% from the previous year. Partially offsetting this was an increase in the average liveweight at slaughter of those broilers to 5.76 pounds, up 1.4% from a year earlier.
In addition to the increase in the average liveweight, there was an increase in the average meat yield per bird to 4.33 pounds, a 1.8-% increase from a year earlier.
With a combination of continued sluggishness of the domestic economy and forecast higher prices for both corn and soybean meal, the broiler meat production estimates for fourth-quarter 2011 and for 2012 were revised downward from the previous month’s estimate. The meat production estimate for fourth-quarter 2011 was lowered by 25 million pounds to 9.4 billion pounds. The estimate for firstquarter 2012 was also lowered by 25 million pounds, to 9.36 billion pounds, and the total for 2012 was reduced by 100 million pounds to 38.0 billion pounds.
Turkey production
Turkey meat production in April was 456 million pounds, up fractionally from a year earlier. As with broilers, the driving factor in the increase has been higher bird weights. In April the number of birds slaughtered was 19.1 million, down about 0.5% from the previous year. This was offset by a 1-% increase in the average weight at slaughter to 30 pounds. Again, the small increase in turkey meat production in April was in part due to 1 less slaughter day in April 2011 than in the previous year.
Egg production
During January to April 2011, the number of hens in the US table egg flock was slightly higher than during the same period in 2010. In April, the flock was estimated at 283 million birds, up fractionally from the previous year. That small increase in the size of the table flock, augmented by an increase in the rate of lay for table egg birds in April, resulted in a 1.0% increase in the number of table eggs produced in April to 546 million dozen.
While the production estimates for the second half of 2011 were raised slightly, the 2012 production estimates for both table egg and hatching eggs were lowered. The estimate for table egg production in 2012 was lowered by 20 million dozen to 6.54 billion and the estimate for hatching eggs was reduced by 8 million dozen to 1.0 billion dozen. The changes for the table egg market are brought about chiefly by the increases in grain prices, and the reduction in hatching egg production is mostly the result of an anticipated decline in broiler meat production.

Brazil’s leading poultry state to cut production levels
//16 Jun 2011
Santa Caterina, Brazil's leading poultry producing state is expected to cut production due to falling prices coupled with weak domestic demand for poultry products.
A decrease in production of 5-8% is being predicted, as increases in the cost of feed are also contributing to producers woes. The cost of maize, the main feed for birds in Brazil, has increased by up to 60% since last year. The state of Santa Caterina, is the only one of the three leading chicken meat producing and exporting states in Brazil that is not self-sufficient in maize.
Cuts are expected more broadly in the Brazilian poultry sector as the year continues and the domestic economy slows. Overall 2.6% more chicken will be produced this year compared to last but due to falling meat prices earnings will be similar to 2010 at around £7.9bn.
Meanwhile, Brazilian co-operative Aurora Alimentos has pulled the plug on plans to build a massive poultry complex in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul.
In a statement, Aurora said the decision was driven by a "combination of institutional and macroeconomic factors'' - including the decision of three smaller local co-operatives to leave the Aurora camp.

Gut health a problem in late phase of broiler production
//19 May 2011
Improvements in the genetic performance of broiler birds, which have seen growth rates increase by 25% over the past two decades, has also led to a loss of intestinal integrity in later phases of the bird's life.
Addressing the BVPA spring meeting, Luis Canseco, poultry veterinary adviser for Elanco Animal Health, identified three main types of bacterial enteritis (BE): clostridial enteritis, dysbacteriosis and cholangiohepatitis, all of which led to increased mortality and loss of feed conversion efficiency.
Spotting the problem early was essential and treating the entire flock was recommended once 10% of the birds were found to be infected.
Widespread
Such intestinal diseases were widespread in Europe. A survey by Elanco last year, covering nine EU countries and involving interviews with vets, nutritionists, producers and field technicians, revealed that 23% of flocks were being treated for bacterial enteritis, wet litter or coccidiosis in the late phase.
Another 20% of flocks were "giving cause for concern". The situation was especially bad in Spain, Portugal and France, while rates of infection were lower in the UK, Italy and Germany.
Treatments
Canseco said that, for enteritis in late phase, the most common treatment was still antibiotics (86%), though copper, essential oils, natural growth promoters and restricted water were all used to a limited extent.
Data from the UK showed how all gut health problems tended to get worse as the birds got older, with the watery content of faeces, the level of excess mucus and the amount of undigested food in the gut at slaughter all rising with age.
This message was reinforced by Prof Margie Lee from the University of Georgia, USA. She explained that the balance of microflora in the gut shifted as birds got older. Understanding and managing this shift was crucial to maintaining gut health.
Diet also played a key part. For example, birds fed a wheat diet showed higher levels of Clostridia sp and C irregularis as they got older, while those on a maize diet had more Lactobacillus species.
