20
Q

Precocial

A

-have ability to feed independently after hatch
-have down
-ability to leave nest shortly after hatching

**Commercial poultry

21
Q

Why study poultry?

A

-major contribution to agricultural production
-unique avian biology
-technologically advanced production system
-bird population is very large

22
Q

Chicken domestication

A

-Selected from 1 jungle fowl spp (Gallus gallus spadiceus)
**linked with domestication of rice and mullet

-fully domesticated ~4500 yrs ago in Southeast Asia

23
Q

Chicken meat production in Canada

A

-High production in ontario, quebec, and then BC, AB

24
Q

Chicken meat production in canada throughout the years

A

Increased throughout the yrs (slight drop during COVID)

25
Q

Meat consumption in Canada compared to other meats

A

-Other meat products decreasing
-Chicken products continue to rise

**may be linked with cost, environment, health, culture,

26
Q

Turkey consumption

A

-Seasonal; very steady turkey consumption

27
Q

Total Egg production in Canada

A

-Egg production has increased throughout the years
-Was a decrease in 90s due to cholesterol fear

28
Q

Reasons for improved poultry productivity

A

-genetic selection
-biosecurity
- knowledge/research (nutrition and management)
-technological advancements/equipment

29
Q

Egg production per hen per year

A

~320 eggs a year

based on selection for better egg layers= fewer birds creating more eggs

30
Q

As hatched data

A

-as hatched data (includes male and female data so not selected for)

31
Q

Meat production- birds reaching 1.5kg

A

-1925= 120 days

-2014=20 days

32
Q

Broiler progression over time

A

-Hatched at much heavier weight (from 35g to 44g)

**happens because better selection, equipment, and management

33
Q

Selected and control broiler differences

A

Selection of many years
-increase in carcass yield and breast meat

34
Q

USA poultry industry structure

A

-Vertical integration- when one company owns many stages of production flow. There is no restriction on how many they can produce.

Ex. Tyson foods

35
Q

Primary breeding company

A

-Never owned by a vertical integration company
BUT the birds after that stage are given/owned by vertical integration company

36
Q

Stages of vertical integration

A

1.primary breeding company
2. multiplier breeding flock (own or contract)
3.broiler flocks (own or contract)
4.primary processing (de feather and eviscerate)
5. Further processing (cut up to cooked)
6. Retail marketing (brand name)

37
Q

Pros to vertical integration

A

-company owning all the stages benefits first. Whatever they do will immediately affect them
-location of all the systems kept close

38
Q

Cons to vertical integration

A

-monopoly (poor pay for farmers)
-animal welfare issues

39
Q

Canadian poultry system

A

-Supply management

40
Q

Supply management

A

-boards run by producers (produce what we use)
-regulates production levels (production syncs with demand)
-stabilizes income and product prices
-allows smaller farms to exist (usually need quota)
-allows producers to own their own farms
-requires import control (tariffs)

41
Q

Raised by Canadian Farmer program

A

-ensures that farmer is meeting specific standards and welfare regulations

42
Q

Income of poultry farmers

A

-relatively steady within Canada. Although it looks small, it is standardized and farmers can produce through quota the amount they need to

43
Q

Primary breeding industry

A

-very small number of primary breeding farms

44
Q

Primary breeding farms functions

A

-genetic selection (all commercial poultry is a result of cross breeding)
-distribution of stock to multiplier hatcheries
-maintenance of stocks
-technical assistance

45
Q

Cross breeding

A

1.Pure lines selected from primary breeder company (A,B, C, D)
2. Grandparent level= Breeding A males with B females; and C males to D females
3. Parent stock/multiplier breeders= AB males bred with CD females
4. Commercial production unit= ABCD birds

46
Q

Reason for crossbreeding

A

1.combine stocks with different traits
2. Heterosis or hybrid vigour
3. Multiplication of stocks
4. Patent

47
Q

Egg production steps

A

1.Grandparent flock= Primary breeding companies
2.Parent chicks
3. Parent flock= Multiplier breeding flocks
4. hatching eggs
5. Multiplier hatchery
6. Commercial production unit= Day old pullets
7. Pullet producers brood and reared (0-19wks), then begin laying eggs (19-71 wks of age)
8. Shell eggs; go to egg processing company

48
Q

Chicken Meat Production

A
  1. Grandparent flock= Primary breeding companies
  2. Parent chickens become multiplier breeding flocks (brood and rear 0-24wks). Breeding (24-64wks)
  3. Hatch eggs
    4.Multiplier Hatchery
  4. Commercial production unit= day old broilers
  5. Broiler producers (brood and rear 0 to 5-7 wks)
  6. Eviscerated carcass
  7. Further processing (fresh and cooked products)
