Indonesia's chicken shortage could further push poultry stocks

February 18, 2019 Indonesia's chicken shortage could further push poultry stocks Indonesia's poultry stocks could seen more gains this year, as the country's chicken shortage is expected to worsen, according to financial service provider CGS-CIMB Sekuritas. The supply of chicks could fall to three billion in 2019, from 3.2 billion in 2018, based on projections made by the country's poultry association. The decline came after the government banned the use of antibiotics in chicken feed, analyst Patricia Gabriela wrote in a report. As a result of a shortage of chickens, the stock price of poultry producer PT Charoen Pokphand Indonesia had rose 2.8% since the start of this year after increasing 140% last year. The company is expected to report a record profit for 2018, with its widest net profit margin in five years, according to analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. In addition, shares of PT Malindo Feedmill increased 20% this year after rallying 89% in 2018, while PT Japfa Comfeed saw its shares ro

Philippines suspends pork imports from Vietnam over swine fever concerns

February 18, 2019 Philippines suspends pork imports from Vietnam over swine fever concerns In response to revelations that pork samples from Vietnam had been tested positive for African swine fever (ASF) by quarantine authorities, Manny Piñol, Agriculture Secretary of the Philippines, has called for a temporary suspension of importing pork and pork products from that country to the Philippines, INQUIRER.net reported. The ban went into effect immediately, Piñol announced on his Facebook page. The action was recommended by Dr. Ronnie Domingo, director of the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI). The bureau has been instructed to impose the ban with immediate effect even though the memorandum to implement it has yet to be signed, Piñol said. "The Philippines is one of the few countries in the world which is free from livestock diseases, including foot and mouth disease," he added. "Vietnam is the latest to be included in the list of countries which could not ship pork and pork products to the Philippines

Nor Fishing Foundation accepts applications for 2019 Innovation Award

February 13, 2019 Nor Fishing Foundation accepts applications for 2019 Innovation Award Norway's Nor Fishing Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2019 Innovation Award, which Scotland-based Ace Aquatec won in 2017. Eligible to apply are commercial companies and individuals from all over the world that supply equipment or services to the aquaculture industry, or are in the aquaculture industry. The winner will receive NOK100,000 (US$11,544), and will be announced Aug. 20, when the four-day Aqua Nor 2019 opens in Trondheim. The board of the Nor-Fishing Foundation has seen it fit to give the award to a Norwegian or foreign company or individual for the best project in the aquaculture industry because commercial companies and individuals have less access to financial support than the large research institutions. The board hopes that this will stimulate more innovation in the commercial sector. The application deadline is May 1, 2019. More information can be had at https://www.aqua-nor.no/inno

Lallemand: Better sows reproductive performance with cellular antioxidant supplementation

February 13, 2019 Lallemand: Better sows reproductive performance with cellular antioxidant supplementation New research presented by Lallemand's R&D swine project leader at the 51st Swine Research Days (Journées de la Recherche Porcine) in Paris, France, showed how a supplement containing vegetal superoxide dismutase (SOD) and selenium yeast as primary cellular antioxidants, benefits sows reproductive performance, Lallemand said. In the trial presented, the sows supplemented during the weaning-to-estrus interval showed improved return to estrus and farrowing rates in the subsequent cycle. In addition, they gave birth to more piglets, with significantly more born alive piglets and less stillborn piglets (Figure 1). vz CONTROL ANTIOX P value Return to estrus (%) 5.33 1.46 0.002 Farrowing rate (%) 87.24 93.69 0.004 Born alive piglets/litter 14.24 14.98 0.036 Figure 1: Sows average reproductive performance in the control (n=2

AB Vista unveils industry's first dual action microbiome activator at IPPE

February 12, 2019 AB Vista unveils industry's first dual action microbiome activator at IPPE A breakthrough dual action product, designed to accelerate the development of a fibre-degrading microbiome, has been launched by AB Vista at the IPPE Expo in Atlanta, Georgia, US. Signis - a unique xylanase and fermentable xylo-oligosaccharide (XOS) combination - accelerates the development of a fibre-degrading microbiome, enabling the fermentation of fibre sources that would otherwise remain undigested, and improving the extent of fibre digestibility earlier in the monogastric life cycle. At this time, the product is available in North America, Europe, India, Australia and New Zealand. Dr. Mike Bedford, AB Vista's research director, explained that the product is a result of years of research looking at the beneficial effects of fibre breakdown products on gut function and animal performance: "The industry has seen a series of interconnected shifts in recent years, with a reduction in antibiotic use leading to

The project will involve adding, expanding and modernising the pedigree farm base and hatchery with state-of-the-art technology and equipment. The effort will profit Hubbard customers in the US and outside the country by boosting the performance, health and welfare of conventional male and female broiler breeder lines. The upgrade of the Walpole facilities is slated for completion by the end of 2020, and will enable Hubbard to triple its pedigree programme in the US. Additionally, the work force of Hubbard facilities in Walpole will be tripled, as new jobs ha
