Q

Processor requirements - broilers

A
  • Two (or more) weight profiles/farm

  • Deplete = larger e.g. 1.35 kg
  • Speciality range = 0.8 - 2.8 kg
  • Sell £/kg whole bird - broader weight range (wider CV % (coefficient variation)), non-sexed (as hatched) placement
  • Sell £/carcase or fixed price, narrower weight range (narrower CV %), sexed placement

Q

Processor requirements - breed

A

Decided by
Economic model for;
- Least cost £/kg
- Maximum breast meat
yield %
- Minimal carcase
downgrades - Oregon Disease - inner fillet/breast muscle = necrotic associated w/ vasculature -> inc in size, firm; “Wooden breast” - fibrosis of breast muscle, wrong breast texture, problem w/ fast-growing breeds
- Market scheme - supermarket brand - specific breed

Q

Planning - environment

A
  • 1 nipple drinker per 12 - 15 birds

Q

Breed - organic broiler requirements

A
  • 2.5 kg average, 70 days
  • Slow growing breed e.g. Hubbard
  • Very restricted fed Ross 308 or
    Cobb 500
  • Low spec ration or feed
    restriction
  • Potential welfare issues re
    mortality, morbidity, carcase
    downgrades -> Cannibalism; Metabolic disease; Back scratching

Q

Carcase leanness varies by

A
  • Liveweight - inc fat w/ age
  • Sex = inc fat Px > 2 kg
  • Genetic strain
  • Nutrition - higher energy inc fat; higher protein, leaner
17
Q

Intensive livestock production % efficiency factors

A
  • FCR
  • DLWG = daily live weight gain
    – Mortality
    – EPEF
  • % Utilisation - % marketable - give away if sold at fixed
    price per pack space, downgraded if too small -> pet food
  • Min sales/weight
  • Max meat yield
  • Min FCR
  • Min mortality
  • Least cost diet
  • Meet sales no.
  • From available floor space
18
Q

Confounding factors to % efficiency

A
  • Disease
  • Nutrition
  • Weather (heat stress)
  • Housing design - heating, ventilation, litter, drinkers, feeders, husbandry, stockmanship
  • Behaviour - Morbidity/Fever; Inactive/huddling/chilled; Lame/pain; Panting/hot; Inaccessible feeders/drinkers; Bullying; Cannibalism
19
Q

Welfare issues of intensive production

A
  • Contact dermatoses - hock burn, pododermatitis, breast blister, decubital sores
  • Skin abscess
  • Wounds
  • Hospital pen - disease reservoir, cost of production - medicine, labour
20
Q

Biosecurity measures

A
  • Site layout - perimeter fence, physical barriers, design - point of disease entry, house barriers, controlled house access
  • Fabric of the building
  • Vermin control
  • Insect control
  • Livestock - multi-age/brought in
  • PPE
  • Footwear policy - Colour-coded boots, plastic overshoes, rigger boots, foot dip
  • Hand sanitising policy
  • Fallen livestock moving
    and disposal
  • Deliveries
  • Maintenance - signing in/out, vehicles, people, equipment
  • Clean out - inside + outside, dry, leave disinfectant to dry
  • Litter/slurry removal
  • Wash water removal
  • Monitor - risk assessment, visual, microbiological
  • People control - sign-in, hygiene
  • Dirty zone -> changing/cleaning zone -> clean zone
21
Q

Environmental monitoring

A

Swabs
- Bacteria - General levels e.g. Total viable counts (TVC) - swab; Specific e.g. salmonella - take sample from faeces - in cracks + crevices of building)
- Parasites - Ecto e.g. Red Mite, Mange; Endo e.g. Ascarids, coccidia
- Vectors - E.g. beetle
- Yeast & Moulds
- Viruses - rarely but cause much disease
- Lab - bacterial culture, PCR
- On-site - visual, skin scrapes, 3MATPase (measures ATP levels from swabs - indicative of biofilm)
- Compare to set targets/improvement
- Sample - fabric of building, inputs into shed e.g. feed deliveries, water quality, people

22
Q

Environmental monitoring - scheduling

A
  • Risk assessment - health, environmental + biosecurity combo
  • Disease/health status - Salmonella positive, S. typhimurium positive, avian influenza positive
  • Pre-depletion - ‘dirtiest’, defines baseline
  • Pre-placement - ‘cleanest’
  • Clean out process - observation of processes, informs of success of processes in terms of resulting EM results
  • Salmonella - check pre-depletion + re-check pre-placement
23
Q

Disinfection protocol

A
  • Final dilution of microbial environmental load
  • 1). Dry cleaning = biggest dilution
  • 2). Wet washing - hot or detergent, next biggest dilution
  • 3). Rinsing detergent
  • 4). Disinfection
24
Q

Disinfectants - efficacy factors

A
  • Fabric of surface e.g. brick, metal, porous or not
  • % dilution
  • Time of activity
  • Temp of activity
  • pH interactions
  • Must identify that disinfectant is active at applied rate, temp, fabric w/ level of soiling likely against target organism
  • Contact times + dilution rates vary w/ pathogen
25
Q

Issues w/ biosecurity processes

A
  • Footdip de-activation - organic matter, UV light, rain dilute
  • Hand sanitisers - alcohol based - coccidial oocysts, not as effective - are they full
  • People - may not adhere to policies
  • Single age sites - AIAO, must clean PPE, same staff for same ages need to be maintained
  • Multiple sites/multi-age sites - mixing of ages, always got disease on-site, cycling
26
Q

Clean-out process

A
  • Clean inside
  • Clean outside
  • Maintain/repair inside
  • Dry inside
  • Disinfect inside
  • (Fumigate inside) - sterilisation, high temp > 50 C against coccidiosis
  • Disinfect outside
  • Beware cross over/re-infection
  • Disinfectant is left to dry
  • Drying is a disinfecting
    process
  • Disinfection is diluted if surfaces are not dry before application
