The Kazakhstan government is taking active steps to support the poultry industry, the Director of the Department of Livestock under Ministry of Agriculture Rabiga Tokseitova has said, adding that it would allow the country to reduce the volume of imported poultry meat within the next five years.
"Kazakhstan is annually increasing its production output in the poultry industry, and nowadays the share of imports is constantly reduced, but so far we remain dependent on import supplies: and about 56% of poultry meat in the market is imported," Tokseitova said.
Based on the government support for the poultry industry it has been decided to form a fund of feed grain of 300 thousand tonnes. Also the government is annually lowering the interest rates on bank loans to purchase equipment and technology for poultry farming, which aims to provide working capital for producers, Tokseitova added.
In addition, Kazakhstan has consistently pursued the policy of reducing import quotas for poultry meat, in particular from the US – currently one of the largest exporters of poultry meat in the country. In 2009 Kazakhstan imported 147,000 tonnes of US poultry. In 2010, the quota was reduced to 110 ,000 tonnes.
According to the official statics, the number of poultry in Kazakhstan in 2010 amounted to 32.780 million heads and in 2011 it is expected that industry value will increase by 3-6%.

Hop based antimicrobial can reduce Clostridium
//27 Apr 2011
US researchers studied the chicken intestine microbiota following administration of Lupulone, a hop-based antimicrobial.
The use of antibiotic growth promotants in US poultry rearing is a public health concern due to antibiotic resistance in bacteria and the harborage of resistance genes. Lupulone, a hop β-acid from Humulus lupulus, has been considered as a potential feed additive growth promotant.
In this study, the effect of lupulone was evaluated for its effect on the microbiota of the chicken intestine. The intestinal microbiota of broilers was quantified after addition of 125 mg L(-1) lupulone to water and challenge with Clostridium perfringens.Microbial DNA was extracted from the broiler midgut and cecal sections and bacterial groups were quantified using real-time PCR. The predominant cecal bacterial groups were Clostridium leptum subgroup 16S rRNA Cluster IV, Clostridium coccoides subgroup 16S rRNA Cluster XIVa and XIVb and Bacteroides, whereas Lactobacillus, the Enterobacteriaceae family and Enterococcus dominated the midgut.
It was shown that Lupulone at 125 mgL(-1) significantly decreased the Clostridium perfringens subgroup 16S rRNA Cluster I, which contains several pathogenic species, in both the midgut and cecum and Lactobacillus in the midgut. No significant changes were noted in the overall microbiota for the cecum or the midgut. Lupulone warrants further evaluation as a botanical agent to mitigate C. perfringens overgrowth in antibiotic-free reared poultry.
