Reports

Ministry Representative Roy White

I am pleased to report that 2010 was a watershed year for

the BHE Board. Two significant advancements took place,

the most recent of which was the election of a new board

of directors.

My congratulations to each member of the new board, your

fellow producers have demonstrated faith in you and I am

confident the BHE Board is in good hands. The Ministry of

Agriculture is also pleased with this initiative and will be

looking forward to the day when producers resume full

responsibility for functions and powers of this board.

The other significant advancement for the BHE Board in 2010

was the adoption of a pricing formula. For a number of

years, producers have been discussing the merits of a

formula driven pricing mechanism, and in August 2010 the

conditions were ideal for implementing such a mechanism

with little affect on farm gate price. I believe the new system will take the “play” out of the

pricing cycle in Saskatchewan in a way that that is predictable, transparent and respects

the interests of both the hatcheries and producers. This policy change was successful

because of the work and support of producers and hatcheries alike and further

demonstrates a growing capacity of this board for self governance.

On the national front, the BHE Board continued its contractual arrangement with the

Canadian Hatching Egg Producers (CHEP) which provides Saskatchewan the opportunity

to participate at the national table. One of the key projects for the CHEP in 2010 was its

progress towards updating the Federal Provincial Agreement (FPA). Amendments need to

be made to the FPA in order to have Saskatchewan recognized as full fledged member of

the CHEP. Some progress was made to finalize wording, but discussions continue. It is

hoped that the CHEP will be able to move this process to the final stage by distributing the

FPA for final endorsement by other signatories later this year. In the mean time,

Saskatchewan is pleased with our reception at the CHEP and we will continue to

participate at the CHEP for intents and purposes as a full member.

The BHE Board could not have achieved this level of success without the hard work

dedication of its entire staff including Clinton Monchuk, Shelly Popowich, Colleen Kohlruss

and Gale Kellington. It is my pleasure once again to thank them for their counsel and

service in 2010.

Sincerely,

Roy White, SBHEPMB

Chief Executive Officer Clinton Monchuk

The 2010 year proved to be one of change with the

Saskatchewan Broiler Hatching Egg Producers Marketing

Board (BHE).

The BHE finally has an agreed upon pricing formula that is

both fair and predictable. Using the Alberta cost of

production based price, Saskatchewan has now moved

away from the „status quo‟ pricing model to one that is

more reflective of market indicators. In the future the

Saskatchewan saleable chick price will be an average of

the previous two pricing period prices in Alberta. The

pricing committee that included two producers and both

hatcheries felt that this was a satisfactory method to

proceed with.

On the administrative side no substantive changes

occurred. The province is under producing based on our allocation, however changes

to a larger operator‟s facility in 2010 will likely result in better production in 2011.

Saskatchewan also has all producers fully certified on the food safety program, CHEQTM.

Nationally we continue to be part of the Canadian Hatching Egg Producers (CHEP) via

a contractual agreement. It is anticipated that Saskatchewan will become part of the

Federal Provincial Agreement with CHEP in 2011.

Thank you to all producers for a great 2010 and I look forward to working with the new

producer board in 2011!

Yours truly,

Clinton Monchuk

Saskatchewan Poultry Extension Service

Introduction

The Saskatchewan Poultry Extension Service is funded by the four Saskatchewan Poultry

Marketing Boards, Lilydale and Prairie Pride Natural Foods. There are two service

personnel: a Poultry Scientist and a Veterinarian. The University of Saskatchewan

provides an office for each and access to university resources. Policies are established

by the Saskatchewan Poultry Council on recommendations by the Research and

Extension Committee. The service is supervised and administered by Drs. S. Gomis and

H.L. Classen of the University of Saskatchewan.

Program Objectives:

1. Monitor industry performance.

2. Identify and solve industry problems.

3. Investigate individual production problems.

4. Communicate advances in poultry production.

5. Act as a liaison to individuals supplying feed, medication and equipment to the

poultry industry.

Personnel:

Tennille Knezacek, Poultry Scientist, (306) 966-6597

Bob Goodhope, Poultry Veterinarian, (306) 966-7300

2010 Saskatchewan Poultry Industry Conference

In 2010, the Saskatchewan Poultry Industry Conference changed venues and altered

the conference length. The Sheraton Cavalier hosted the meeting which was shortened

by scheduling technical sessions normally held on Friday into Thursday‟s Annual General

Meeting agendas. The luncheon and technical presentations arranged by the Poultry

Extension service included: Karen Schwean-Lardner, University of Saskatchewan,

Animal Welfare: Why It Impacts Market Access; Dr. Scott Gillingham, Aviagen, Brooding

for Success; Dr. Susantha Gomis, University of Saskatchewan, Detrimental Effects of

Variant IBD on Broiler Production in Saskatchewan; Terry Albrecht, Aviagen, Breeder

Management: The Modern Way; Dave Van Walleghem, Vetoquinol, Cleaning and

Disinfecting; and Dr. Peter Ferket, North Carolina State University, How to Resolve Leg

Problems in Turkeys. Dr. Ferket‟s seminar for the Saskatchewan Turkey Producers was

unique as it was the first webinar presentation successfully presented at this conference!

The 2009 Saskatchewan Egg Producer of the Year Award was presented at the

conference banquet to Edward Kleinsasser from the Smiley Hutterian Brethren.

Gene Makowsky, an offensive lineman from the Canadian Football League‟s

Saskatchewan Roughriders was the guest speaker. A football toss during the reception,

P

as well as cheerleading prior to and signing autographs after Gene‟s presentation

made for a fun (and green) evening!

Presentations and Newsletters

Poultry extension is available to write technical articles for producer newsletters and

mail-outs, as well as make presentations on topics of interest at producer meetings.

Saskatchewan Poultry Disease Updates were presented at New-Life Feeds Producer

Meetings held in Yorkton and Saskatoon in November.

The 2010 fall meeting for the Saskatchewan Egg Producers was held in Swift Current on

December 1st. Presentations delivered by poultry extension were “Salmonella

Monitoring Update and Control”, “Avian Influenza – Seasonal Flu – Pandemic Flu...” and

“On-farm Survey of Beak Characteristics in White Leghorns as a Result of Hot Blade or

Infra-Red Beak Trimming.”

Articles prepared for the Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan newsletter included: CFIA

Policy for Monitoring Broilers Arriving at a Processing Plant (February 2010); Notifiable

Avian Influenza First Response Exercise in Saskatchewan (April 2010); Salmonella: Human

and Chicken Interactions (June 2010); Poultry Science Association meeting in Denver,

Colorado (August 2010); Liver Condemnations of Broiler Chickens in Saskatchewan

(October 2010); and Reducing Foot Pad Dermatitis in Your Broiler Flocks (December

2010). Two poultry pointers were written for the Saskatchewan Poultry Producers,

including Newcastle Disease Alert: Diagnosed in Saskatchewan Cormorants (August

2010) and Avian influenza Alert: Low Path AI diagnosed in Manitoba (November 2010).

CanNAISS Program

CanNAISS is the Canadian Notifiable Avian Influenza Surveillance System that has been

developed by CFIA, government and poultry industry representatives to meet current

Notifiable Avian Influenza (NAI) guidelines from the World Organization for Animal

Health (OIE) and new trade regulations of the European Union. This surveillance

program will also assist in preventing, detecting and eliminating the presence of H5 and

H7 subtypes of NAI in Canada's commercial poultry flocks. CFIA covers all costs

associated with sample collection, submission and analysis.

During 2010, Saskatchewan‟s Poultry Extension Service was contracted by CFIA to

collect blood samples from 11 turkey and 7 broiler breeder flocks. No NAI virus was

detected in any of the tested flocks.

Infra-Red Camera

In conjunction with researchers at the University of Saskatchewan, Poultry Extension has

purchased an infra-red camera for use in research and field applications. Infra-red

thermography is a useful tool because it is non-contact, two-dimensional, and allows

images of fast changing thermal patterns to be captured in real-time. Applications for

poultry producers may include ventilation and equipment assessments. Producers

interested in acquiring thermal images of their barns and/or equipment must schedule

an appointment with Poultry Extension.

Emergency Response Planning

The Saskatchewan Poultry Industry Emergency Management Team (SPIEMT) producer

manuals are available from the board offices. The manuals include information about

reportable poultry disease symptoms and the procedures to follow if you suspect you

have a reportable disease on your farm.

SPIEMT is comprised of representatives from the Saskatchewan Egg Producers,

Saskatchewan Broiler Hatching Egg Producers, Saskatchewan Turkey Producers,

Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan, egg graders and processors, hatcheries, poultry

meat processors, U of S poultry extension, feed industry, catching crews and Farm

Animal Council of Saskatchewan (FACS), as well as government partners, including the

Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the Saskatchewan Ministry of

Agriculture.

Acknowledgements

Poultry Extension would like to thank the poultry producers and processors who make

themselves, their facilities and their birds available for educational purposes. Students

from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine and the College of Agriculture and

Bioresources at the University of Saskatchewan appreciate the opportunity to learn first-

hand about the Saskatchewan poultry industry. These student-industry interactions are

also an excellent opportunity to promote the poultry industry in this province and to

encourage student interest in poultry-related employment subsequent to graduation.

Strict biosecurity protocols are followed for all on-farm visits. Additionally, a list of

students in attendance is provided to keep the visitor log book at each farm site

current.

Broiler Hatching Egg Producers

Health

Overall flock health was good. Seven producers reported 22 disease incidents. Twenty-

three percent of the cases were bacterial yolk sac infections in chicks. Bacterial

lameness (arthritis/tendinitis) accounted for 18% of diagnostic submissions. There were

no cases of necrotic enteritis or coccidiosis which have been present in previous years.

Lame breeders are not likely to breed or be bred and therefore do not contribute to

quality hatching eggs. Reducing stress to the breeders will minimize lameness in the

flock. A few stressors to consider carefully are moving pullets, adjusting birds to the layer

barn, rooster aggression, nest box competition and feed management, which all

become more critical as hens achieve peak egg production.

The search for a commercial manufacturing company to produce vaccine developed

by Dr. Gomis for inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) continues. IBH outbreaks have caused

significant mortality losses in broiler chicken flocks for the past 8 years. An efficacious

vaccine would prevent transmission of the virus from the egg to the broiler chick.

P

age8

Yearly Number of Reported IBH Outbrreaks

All breeder flocks were blood sampled to monitor vaccination effectiveness for

infectious bursal disease and avian encephalomyelitis to ensure protection of parents

and progeny. The results indicate good vaccination practices in most flocks. All flocks

were blood sampled twice to ensure freedom from Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG)

and Mycoplasma synoviae (MS). All flocks tested negative for MG and MS.

Vaccination auditing, particularly for breast injections, is part of the poultry extension

service that can be requested. A random sample of pullets is examined to ensure the

person(s) administering the vaccine(s) is using the proper technique and applying the

vaccine in the correct area.

Chicken Producers

Health

Overall broiler chicken livability has continued to be good. Fifty producers reported 144

disease incidents. Inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) continued for the sixth year as the most

frequent diagnoses with 24% of submissions. The total yearly outbreaks of IBH reported

are shown in the chart to the right. Numbers of outbreaks continue at the same pace

as 2009. Research into the

epidemiology and preventive

strategies of IBH in

Saskatchewan has isolated the

mortality-causing strains and

developed a vaccine for broiler

parents. The research is

supervised by Dr. Gomis at the

University of Saskatchewan and

partially funded by the

Saskatchewan Chicken Industry

Investment and Development

Fund. The search for a

commercial manufacturer to

produce the vaccine continues.

E. coli bacterial infections were the second most frequent diagnosis at 17%, edging out

yolk sac infection in chicks. Yolk sac infection represented 15% of submissions which is a

decrease in frequency of 17% from 2009 (half the 2007 value). Bacterial lameness

(arthritis) was significantly higher than previous years at 13% of submissions. Necrotic

enteritis (6%) showed a significant increase from previous years. Ascites and necrotic

dermatomyositis continued a decline in incidence beginning last year (2009) and there

were fewer cases of coccidiosis.

Salmonella

Salmonella is generally not a disease problem in chicks over 7 days of age but is a

significant cause of food poisoning in people. There were a few cases of protracted

mortality in chicks past one week of age due to salmonella. All poultry submissions

including broilers which request bacterial culture at the Prairie Diagnostic Services

laboratory are also monitored for salmonella. It is important to realize that these samples

Pag

e9

are from chickens with bacterial infections and do not reflect the actual prevalence of

salmonella in Saskatchewan broiler chicken flocks. The 2003-2010 yearly isolation rate

average was 22% of samples submitted for culture; however, in 2009 it was 31% and

2010 – 33% continuing higher than previous years. Results are reported to

processors/hatcheries in addition to the flock manager. Producers are reminded to

take precautions when handling their chickens, such as wearing gloves and washing

hands, to prevent possible infection of themselves or others, especially young children

and the elderly.

Economic Impact of Infectious Bursal Disease on SK Broiler Production

Dr. Susantha Gomis identified “variant” Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) viruses in 36% of

Saskatchewan broiler farms. Because Canadian IBD vaccines generally contain non-

variant strains, control of IBD in these Saskatchewan broiler barns has been

compromised. Significant production losses due to lower meat production per square

meter of barn floor area, poorer feed conversion ratio and higher morality were

recorded from farms infected with IBD virus.

Data sheets indicating IBD status and average production data of each broiler

production unit, compared to average production data from all Saskatchewan broiler

producers, were mailed to farm owners at the end of December 2010.

An effective IBD prevention and control program must include an effective broiler

breeder parent vaccination program, proper clean-up and disinfection between flocks

and control of traffic on broiler farms, and if necessary, an effective broiler vaccination

program.

Dr. Gomis has ongoing research to evaluate the commercially available vaccine‟s

ability to confer protective immunity against variant IBD viruses previously isolated from

Saskatchewan broiler barns.

Liver Condemnations of Broiler Chickens in Saskatchewan

A study was conducted by Dr. Gomis, with assistance from a graduate student,

research technicians, and Poultry Extension, to identify causes of condemnations

associated with liver conditions and to determine if these lesions result from a primary or

secondary disease (such as IBD). Sixteen Saskatchewan broiler farms (44 barns total)

participated. Total condemnations from these farms ranged from 0.35 to 4.32% with an

average of 1.40%, and condemnations due to liver conditions ranged from 0.05 to

1.60% with an average of 0.37%. Over a 12 month period, 264 livers from condemned

carcasses were examined from these 16 premises. Blood and bursa samples from 20

randomly selected birds were collected from 13/16 farms.

The livers had lesions that would indicate an acute bacterial infection; however no

causative agents such as viral inclusion bodies (i.e. inclusion body hepatitis), bacteria,

fungi and parasites were observed. Thirty-five (13%) of the liver samples were cultured

for bacteria and 8 of those samples had no bacterial growth. The remaining liver

samples had small amounts of bacterial growth with no consistent pattern. No

Campylobacter or Salmonella species were isolated from any of the samples. No viruses

were isolated from 17 liver samples sent to Guelph.

Decreased bursal weight:body weight ratios, along with high bursal atrophy scores

(determined by looking at bursa samples under a microscope) were found in flocks with

increased condemnations for liver conditions. These are the two major indicators of IBD

infection. In this study, bursal atrophy, low bursal weight:body weight ratio and high IBD

titres were correlated with both higher total condemnations and condemnations due

to liver lesions.

This study showed that liver lesions are probably not caused by a primary bacterial

pathogen, and are likely associated with immunosuppression due to an IBD challenge.

Additional research is necessary to gain a better understanding of the development of

liver conditions in broilers so this emerging disease in the Saskatchewan broiler industry

can be controlled. In the meantime, producers experiencing high levels of liver

condemnations should ensure they effectively clean and disinfect their chicken barns

to minimize the numbers of immunosuppressive viruses present when chicks are placed.

Turkey Producers

Health

Eight turkey producers reported 16 disease incidents. The most frequent diagnosis was

E. coli bacterial infections other than yolk sac infections (63% of submissions), and its

prevalence has remained relatively high for the last three years. E. coli infections are

usually secondary to a primary stressor such as moving to the grower barn, chilling,

overheating, or hemorrhagic enteritis (HE) immunosuppression. Identifying the primary

stressor is the challenge to achieving control of infection in subsequent flocks.

Litter eating resulting in gizzard and intestinal impaction increased from previous years.

Turkey poults have poor adaptive behaviour. Changes to their environment such as

removal of feed trays and moving to another barn with different feed equipment

requires extra attention to make it as easy as possible for the poults to adjust and find

the feed. If they fail to find the feed they will substitute the litter for feed and if this

behaviour continues the litter plugs the intestinal tract and poult mortality increases.

There were no flock diagnoses of round heart or necrotic enteritis.

Salmonella

Salmonella is generally not a disease problem in poults over one week of age but is a

significant cause of food poisoning in people. All poultry submissions including turkeys

which request bacterial culture at the Prairie Diagnostic Services laboratory are also

monitored for salmonella. It is important to realize that these samples are from turkeys

with bacterial infections and do not reflect the actual prevalence of salmonella in

Saskatchewan turkey flocks. The 2010 isolation rate was 33% of samples submitted for

culture, which is similar to the 2003-2010 yearly isolation rate average of 14%. Producers

are reminded to take precautions when handling their turkeys, such as wearing gloves

and washing hands, to prevent possible infection of themselves or others, especially

young children and the elderly.

Turkey Research at the U of S Poultry Centre

After dispersing the flock of bronze Ridley turkeys maintained at the University of

Saskatchewan since 1981, the Poultry Centre renovated the turkey housing area for

commercial turkey research. In 2010, a breed comparison and toe-trimming study were

completed. Poultry Extension looks forward to collaborating on future studies with

researchers from the U of S and commercial turkey producers in the province.

Table Egg Producers

Health

Layer and pullet flocks were healthy with 32 disease incidents reported. The most

frequent diagnoses were caged layer fatigue and yolk peritonitis. Marek‟s disease was

diagnosed for the third year in a row following three years without a case. There was a

single flock diagnosed with avian leucosis, surprisingly, since breeding stock has been

free of the avian leucosis virus for decades.

Caged layer fatigue is caused by inadequate calcium reserves in the medullary bone

of laying hens. This calcium reserve is responsible for the eggshell. If the layer has

insufficient reserve it takes what it needs from its own bones which results in thinning of

the bones, fractures of the ribs and ultimately inability to breathe. Ensuring adequate

medullary bone starts with the proper nutrition and feeding of the pullet before lay and

during lay. Dr. Bregendahl, nutritionist and director of technical services at Hyline

International (US), recommends diet changes during pullet growout should be based

on body weight rather than age.

The correct nutrition of laying hens. (Pages 12-14, Accessed February 1, 2011)

Production problems associated with infectious bronchitis (IB) continues to be reported

and investigated. Each production facility needs to determine the best vaccination

program as the risks are different for single age versus multi-age premises, whether

growing pullets or not. The effectiveness of the vaccination program can be monitored

by blood testing a small sample of birds from the flock a few weeks following the IB

vaccination(s). Contact the poultry veterinarian to help determine whether IB is the

cause of egg production problems and review IB vaccination programs.

NIR Technology

Near Infrared (NIR) is a region of the light spectrum where most organic compounds

have defined reflectance properties which are determined by the molecules and

bonds that make up the compound. NIR technology allows the characteristics of a

compound to be quantified based on the way it reflects light in the NIR spectrum. Feed

parameters that can be analyzed with NIR equipment include: moisture, protein, fat,

fibre, starch and ash; and prediction equations can be established to estimate amino

acid content, such as lysine and methionine, from protein measurements.

Unfortunately, minerals such as calcium, phosphorous and sodium are inorganic

compounds so the accuracy and reliability of these measurements using NIR

technology is questionable.

P

The InfraXact™ NIR machine purchased by the Saskatchewan Egg Producers Growth

Fund will help Saskatchewan layer producers improve the accuracy of milling rations

and feeding laying hens by optimizing the use of feed ingredients and providing more

consistent complete feeds.

In 2010, 52% of Saskatchewan Egg Producers (33/63) submitted one or more samples for

NIR analysis. A total of 103 submissions were made with 17 producers making one

submission and 16 producers submitting samples more than one time. Two hundred

seventy individual samples were analyzed, including 196 layer rations (72.6%), 41

ingredient samples (15.2%), 27 pullet rations (10.0%) and 6 other samples (2.2%). All egg

producers are encouraged to submit ingredient and feed samples on a regular basis.

Salmonella Monitoring Program

The Saskatchewan Egg Producer Board tested all flocks for Salmonella species/serovars

by environmental sampling. The number of flocks testing positive during the 2010

period was 33%; a 17% decrease compared to 2009. In 2010, 19 strains of salmonella

were reported, with S. infantis the most common serotype. S. heidelberg was the

second most common serotype reported and is one of the serovars commonly linked to

food poisoning in humans. Other frequently isolated serovars of Salmonella in

descending order were: kentucky, cubana, rissen, mbandaka, typhimurium, and

braenderup. Salmonella enteritidis was isolated from one production site in 2010.

Twenty-three percent of positive farms had more than one Salmonella serotype isolated

(compared to 21% in 2009 and 31% in 2008) and the most frequent site of isolation was

from the egg belt (43%). Affected flocks were followed up with a letter indicating best

practices for control.

Salmonella screening results are generally available within one week of submission.

Layer farms testing negative in all locations will receive a salmonella screening memo in

the mail from poultry extension within a few weeks. However, if any of the locations

tested on a farm are positive, an additional Poly D test is performed before the samples

are sent to the Reference Laboratory for serotyping. If the Poly D test is negative, the

likelihood of identifying Salmonella enteritidis is negligible.

Serotype results can take up to two months to complete. Due to concerns regarding

delayed notification of positive salmonella screening results, Poultry Extension will be

notifying farm managers when the preliminary positive results are received. Once the

salmonella serotype is identified by the Reference Laboratory, a memo containing this

information will be sent by post.
