Q

Describe the HSA 2006 guidance for poultry

A

Visibly unfit or injured birds should not be loaded into a transport module but should be killed on farm as quickly and humanely as possible by a suitably trained person.

Q

Describe depopulation/harvesting of poultry

A

Commercial birds have lived relatively ‘controlled’ lives:
- Met relatively few people;
- Noise is typically constant and predictable;
- Possibly in subdued light.

Catching represents a major departure from their normal daily ‘structure’.

Large numbers of individuals (low individual value)

Genetic selection - inherent problems:
- Broilers – leg problems
- Laying hens - osteoporosis

Catching identified as major source of stress & injury

Possible injuries: bruising, fractures, dislocation

Q

Describe thinning system vs all in all out system poultry

A

38kg per m2 is max stocking density

thinning system: better welfare, uses lower stocking density (30kg per m2)
- maximises efficiency/use of house
- temporary social disruption

all in all out: reach 38kg per m2 at end of cycle and all birds cleared out

Q

Describe broiler transport with regards to temperature

A

Broilers particularly susceptible to heat stress and dehydration

Genetic selection for muscle growth has compromised capacity to respond to acute thermal challenge:
- Reduced tolerance has implications for welfare and meat quality

Heterogeneous distribution of ventilation in passively ventilated transporters – ‘hot-spots’ and ‘cold-spots’;

Different birds in same load may experience heat or cold stress - localised high air velocities;

High stocking density, minimal head room and high humidity compromise ability to thermoregulate by natural means - panting, postural changes.

Q

Describe FCI in poultry

A

Introduced by the Hygiene Regulations from January 2006

FCI contributes to slaughterhouse operators’ HACCP-based food safety management systems by providing information about animals procured for slaughter

Poultry producers are required to provide the Food Business Operator (FBO) with the Food Chain Information (FCI)

The FBO checks the FCI and passes it onto the Official Veterinarian (OV)

The OV must analyse the information and use it as an integral part of the inspection procedures

19
Q

What should be on a poultry FCI

A

in disease outbreaks: epidemiological units are houses (important for investigations & traceability

20
Q

Describe collection & communication of inspection results (CCIR)

A
21
Q

Describe AM inspection of poultry

A

Ante mortem inspection is covered by (EC) 853/2004 and (EC) 854/2004;

Can be performed (visual inspection):
- On-farm;
- At slaughterhouse.

Ante-mortem inspection aims to verify
- Animal identification
- Animal welfare
- Any condition that may adversely affect human or animal health (zoonosis)

Individual bird examination not feasible

Overall health and welfare of each must be assessed

When possible, ante-mortem inspection should include listening to the birds and observation of a random sample checking posture, wattle colour and cleanliness of birds

22
Q

Describe poultry AM inspection at the farm

A
23
Q

Describe this

A

a lot of recent bruising on wing

possibly due to handling/catching so may be welfare issue

record number of incidences

24
Q

Describe this

A

Old wound

Farmer should not have allowed bird to leave farm, should have been emergency slaughter

Welfare issue

25
Q

Describe this

A

Pododermatitis

Bird has been on wet litter

welfare issue, record number of cases

26
Q

Describe this

A

Breast blister

Painful

Welfare issue

27
Q

Describe this

A

Loss of blood feathers, trapped in cage

very painful

welfare issue, staff should be retrained

28
Q

Describe notifiable diseases in poultry

A

Avian influenza

Newcastle disease

The FCI should provide evidence of active Notifiable disease

Typical clinical signs will be seen on farm

Birds crated on arrival may be dead, have respiratory signs or be visibly affected (discoloured comb, wattles, nasal discharge)
