Avian Influenza and its impact on poultry exports
Poultry breeding and genetic improvement became a very specialized research activity majored by a few breeding companies. These companies follow the best disease prevention biosecurity to protect their stocks. HPAI is a deadly disease that wipes out the flock in two days, and there is no way to save leave exporting the diseased chicks.
Good vaccines are being manufactured to prevent the disease in lower level breeding and commercial stocks. No vaccination policy is making many flocks vulnerable to disease outbreaks and the virus multiplies in the area in large scale. Hence allowing vaccination in place of stamping out will reduce the viral load in the country.
Or develop birds that can resist immunosuppression of all types.
I do strongly agree with Dr Kotaiah
If we have beaten one of worst virus proteiform type so it is our best interest to syndicate a synergy to find a real targeting vaccine. Too much at stake.
All continents have been severely hit and sooner we guess we ll have a real vaccine
People get Influenza Vaccine each year for new stripes in the environment. It did no got protection for the years to come.

Travis Schaal talks about the importance of biosecurity to prevent avian influenza outbreaks
The main problem is not the virus but how to react to the troubles the virus can cause in the flock, whether the flock is vaccinated or not. I think we can overcome the high risk of mortality by the production of breeds that resist this virus ---and or by minimizing the causes of mortality by treating the symptoms that lead to the death of birds
Chicken production is basically converting vegetable protein ( cheaper) in to chicken ( more expensive than feed)
The fast growing birds has more appetite and consumes feed more than what is converted in to chicken.
The excess consumption can be carefully reduced by limiting the feed ( not exactly restriction). The feed requirement depends on the weight of the bird on the day(maintainance) plus the feed required for the additional weight to be put on for the day (50 to 60gms). Calculation are available like the one suggested by body. Generally adlimitum feeding up to 28days and starting increments of 3 to 4gms per day basing on the environment takes care of the growth which should never be compromised. Day to day monitoring helps
Effective Solutions for Preventing and Treating CRD in Poultry with Natural and Conventional Approaches
@Dr Kotaiah Talapaneni , In my 45 years of feeding commercial broilers, I have never restricted feed intake under good commercial conditions (exception for high> 98 degrees F temperatures in the house years ago). For broilers fed lower-protein diets balanced to energy, these diets and management conditions resulted in some of the higher growth rates in the US with very lower than average production costs. I encouraged more consumption by having better pellet quality and a lower number of birds per feeder pan. The highest consistent feed consumption, resulted in the lowest cost. Were you referring to research conditions for restricted feed intake?
They needed time to wait or to accelerate if needed for their sale turn.
Eggs, pigs, broilers were in that situation.
