Chair Henk van Steenbergen

“Cheers Gentlemen, looks like the end of a difficult chapter for the board and the beginning of a new era.” Such were the words of Mr. Roy White, our government appointed administrator, upon informing us that the Government of Saskatchewan had approved and enacted the order in council for the return of power to the BHE Board. A new era for us as producers to work together with our stakeholders for the betterment of the Saskatchewan broiler hatching egg industry. To that end I am thankful for the good working relationship that we have experienced with our hatcheries in discussions as to what our allocation should be and the co-operation we have received in leveling out the flow of eggs as needed. Thankful that we are allowed to represent a group of producers who all operate CHEQ certified facilities in our quest to produce the best hatching eggs possible and that this same group of producers is willing to get together and wrestle with issues when needed. Also, for the work that our general manager, Clinton Monchuk, and his very capable staff in the office at Pacific Avenue, have done in support of our board. Two main issues come to mind that we have worked on as board: Firstly, finding ways to boost the total hatching egg production for the province and with the sought-after regulation change we have turned a corner and will be well on our way to achieving our production targets in the next year or two. Secondly, a stalemate in negotiations of a new Federal-Provincial Agreement has left Saskatchewan unable to obtain full membership status at CHEP, our national board. The directors at CHEP are actively pursuing ways to expedite the entry of Saskatchewan, as well as Alberta, as full members. With the support of the Farm Products Council of Canada an official signing ceremony in the next couple of months is the hoped for out-come. As stated before, a new era, but most likely not without its difficulties. If the last year and a half are any indications however, I feel confident that we will work, as an industry, through whatever difficulties we may encounter. Yours truly, Henk van Steenbergen.

Chief Executive Officer Clinton Monchuk This was a landmark year for the Saskatchewan Broiler Hatching Egg Producers’

Marketing Board (BHE), as it was the first in numerous where an elected board

fully functioned. The four new board members, Hendrick Van Steenbergen

(chair), Dave Janzen (vice-chair), Jeff Regier and James Glen, guided the indus-

try through some change.

There were a few changes to policy over the course of the year. Two new

board orders were approved by the BHE Board and the Agri-Food Council, one

revoking out-of-date board orders and the other updating base quota trans-

fers. The board was also working on two other orders specific to leasing and

the CHEP levy, however they will not be approved until 2012. The new leasing

policy for 2012 would result in no overproduction penalty for producers who have over produced, if the

province is not over produced their allocation. The board viewed this change as a beneficial policy to help

Saskatchewan fully utilize our allocated production.

At the 2011 fall producer meeting the board and producers agreed to an increase in levy rate. The current

levy of $0.0032 per egg set of base quota in 2011 was not sufficient to adequately support a fully functioning

board. Producers voted in favour of increasing the levy rate to $0.0043 per egg set of base quota in 2012 and

$0.0050 per egg set of base quota in 2013.

I look forward to serving this board in 2012.

Yours truly,

Clinton Monchuk

II. GENERAL

2011 Saskatchewan Poultry Industry Conference

In 2011, the Sheraton Cavalier hosted the Saskatchewan Poultry Industry Conference on March 2nd and 3rd. The luncheon and tech-

nical presentations arranged by the Poultry Extension service included: Dr. Tom Scott, University of Saskatchewan, It Isn’t Just

Chicken Feed; Shelley Kirychuk and Natasha Just, University of Saskatchewan, What’s in Poultry Barn Air?; Centaine Raginski, Uni-

versity of Saskatchewan, What Chickens Like to Eat – Does It Impact Feather Pecking?; Tennille Knezacek, University of Saskatche-

wan, Toe Trimming Turkey Hens; Dr. Martin Zuidhof, University of Alberta, Building Better Broiler Breeder Bodies; Karen Schwean-

Lardner, University of Saskatchewan, Let There Be Light… And Dark!; and Aman Deep, University of Saskatchewan, Impact of Light

Intensity on Broiler Production and Welfare.

The 2010 Saskatchewan Egg Producer of the Year Award was presented at the conference banquet to Fritz Mandel from Eatonia

Colony and Edward Kleinsasser from Smiley Hutterian Brethren as there was a tie for first ranking!

Gery Schubert, playing the roles of Captain Stubby and Elvis Presley, was hired for the banquet entertainment. As attendees board-

ed the S.S. Poultry Love Boat, they were donned with tropical leis or feather boas. After practicing the life-boat evacuation drill, we

were serenaded by two Elvises (Dr. Goodhope being Elvis #2) and astounded by the chicken-dancing talents of Mr. Clinton Mon-

chuk and Mr. Mike Dungate!

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.

The 2011 fall meeting for the Saskatchewan Egg Producers was held in Swift Current on November 3rd. Presentations delivered by

poultry extension were “Salmonella Monitoring Update and Control”, ”The Perplexing Cases of Shell-less Eggs” and “Egg Size in

Saskatchewan.”

Articles prepared for the Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan newsletter included: Infra-Red Camera for Field Applications (February

2011); When Should Lighting Programs Begin? (April 2011); OFAC Activist Advisory (August 2011); and Bird Capacity Calculation for

ACP Record Sheet 1 (November 2011).

Additionally, a Poultry Pointer was written for the Saskatchewan Poultry Producers titled, Disease Alert: In-fectious Laryngotracheitis (ILT) diagnosed in Saskatchewan (February 2011).

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 elim-

inating 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 2011, the Saskatchewan Poultry Extension Service was contracted by CFIA to collect blood samples from 16 turkey and 4

broiler breeder flocks. NAI virus was not 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 im-

ages of fast changing thermal patterns to be captured in real-time. Applications for poultry producers may include ventilation,

equipment and insulation 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 offic-

es. 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, Sas-

katchewan 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.

III. Broiler Hatching Egg Producers

Health

Overall flock health was good. Seven producers reported 15 disease incidents. Twenty percent of the cases were bacterial yolk sac

infections in chicks. Bacterial lameness (arthritis/tendinitis) accounted for 20% of diagnostic submissions. There was one case of

fowl cholera which was a historically common diagnosis 20-30 years ago but has been controlled with vaccination and biosecurity.

There were no cases of necrotic enteritis, which has 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 9 years. An efficacious vac-

cine would prevent transmission of the virus from the egg to the broiler chick. Dr. Gomis is continuing his research raising breeders

and doing various vaccine challenge strategies to determine the best types of IBH virus, dosage and application methods.

All breeder flocks were blood sampled to monitor vaccination effectiveness for infectious bursal disease and avian encephalomyeli-

tis 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 tech-

nique and applying the vaccine in the correct area.

IV. Chicken Producers

Health

Overall broiler chicken livability has continued to be good. Sixty producers reported 131 disease incidents. For the first time in sev-

en years yolk sac infection (YSI) in chicks has regained the top spot from Inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) as the most frequent diagno-

sis with 38%. Bacterial E. coli infections other than YSI captured second place with 18% of submissions.

IBH comprised 12% of cases. The total yearly outbreaks of IBH reported are shown in the chart to the right. Numbers of outbreaks

dropped for the first time since 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 Saskatche-

wan Chicken Industry Development Fund. The latest

stage in the research program is chicken challenge trials

optimizing both the killed and live IBH vaccines. The

search for a commercial manufacturer to produce the

vaccine continues.

For the second year bacterial lameness (arthritis) was

an important diagnosis at 8% of submissions. E. coli is

the most common bacteria isolated. However, the isolation of Enterococcus species (cecorum and faecium) is emerging as an im-

portant cause of the lamenesses as it had not been cultured prior to 2010 and was seen in a number of cases involving both limb

and vertebral joints.

Very few cases of coccidiosis were submitted and no cases of necrotic enteritis were diagnosed.

Infectious Bursal Disease

Dr. Susantha Gomis identified Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) viruses in 36% of Saskatchewan broiler farms. All of the IBD infected

premises had “variant” IBD virus. 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.

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. In the coming year Dr. Gomis will conduct challenge trials

Liver Condemnations of Broiler Chickens in Saskatchewan

The 2010 annual report summarized initial research findings indicating the association of infectious bursal disease immunosuppres-

sion and the greater likelihood of condemned broiler carcasses at processing due to liver conditions. A further study to better un-

derstand the factors responsible for liver infections of processed broilers is in progress. Dr. Gomis is supervising.

These research projects are supported in part by funding from the Saskatchewan Chicken Industry Development Fund.

V. Turkey Producers

Health

Ten turkey producers reported 16 disease incidents. The most frequent diagnosis was E. coli bacterial infections (31% of submis-

sions) other than yolk sac infections, and its prevalence has dropped dramatically from the relatively high levels (50-60%) seen in

the last four years. E. coli infections are usually secondary to a primary stressor such as moving to the grower barn, chilling, over-

heating, or hemorrhagic enteritis (HE) immunosuppression. Identifying the primary stressor is the challenge to achieving control of

infection in subsequent flocks.

Poults failure to eat or eating litter resulting in gizzard and intestinal impaction continued to challenge management skills. 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 necrotic enteritis.

Impact of Toe Trimming on Turkey Hens

The University of Saskatchewan Poultry Research Centre investigated the effect of toe trimming on the productivity, marketability

and welfare of commercial turkey hens.

Five hundred seventy six Hybrid Converter female poults were divided into two treatments: trimmed (T) and not trimmed (NT) toes.

Poults were placed into 18 pens such that there were 9 replications per treatment and 32 birds per pen. The poults were raised in

brooder rings with heat lamps until 9 days of age and reared to 15 weeks at a stocking density of 34 kg/m2. The dusk to dawn

lighting program included 23 hours light at 20 lux from placement until 9 days of age. At 9 days, daylength was reduced to 18 hours

for the remainder of the grow-out period and the lights were dimmed to 10 lux. At 19 days, pecking was observed in one pen so the

light intensity was reduced to 5 lux. A standard temperature curve was followed with the barn temperature starting at 30°C (plus

Page 11: Saskatchewan Broiler Hatching Egg Producers Marketing Board · This was a landmark year for the Saskatchewan roiler Hatching Egg Producers’ Marketing oard ( HE), as it was the first

11

the heat lamps for 12 days) and falling to 22°C by day 35. Commercial feed was provided ad libitum and included two diets in each

of the starter, grower and finisher phases.

Body weights were recorded at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 weeks of age. Feed efficiency was calculated at the same ages and all mortali-

ty was submitted for necropsy. Tissue collections from 1-14 days were performed to better understand the nature of trim damage

and healing process. Turkey behavior was recorded at 3 and 5 days of age by direct observation, and at 7 and 13 weeks of age using

infra-red sensitive cameras mounted on the ceiling in the middle of each pen. Gait scoring was performed on 5 hens per pen at 7

weeks of age. In addition, these birds were identified with wing-bands and selected at 15 weeks for carcass evaluation at pro-

cessing.

There were no significant differences in overall production characteristics, including body weight, feed conversion and mortality, for

T and NT turkey hens. However, NT poults ate significantly more feed than their T counterparts during the first week.

Histological examination of treated toes showed damaged and necrotic tissue on day one. By day 4, epithelial cells begin to repair

the damaged epidermis such that the necrotic tissue begins sloughing around 8 days and complete healing of the treated toe was

evident by 14 days.

Direct observations of poult behavior at 3 days of age showed significant differences between T and NT poults. T poults rested more

and stood and walked less than NT birds. This trend was still evident at 5 days, but by 7 and 13 weeks, there were no differences in

hen behavior. This data suggests poults may experience short-term pain due to toe trimming. Gait score at 7 weeks of age was not

affected by toe trimming, as all hens walked with ease.

Scratch evaluation at the processing plant showed NT hens had significantly more carcasses with scratches (46%) compared to T

birds (12%), though not all of the scratches observed resulted in carcass downgrading. The high percentage of scratched carcasses

in NT birds is a concern as it reduces carcass quality and therefore marketability and profit. Based on this evidence, toe trimming

commercial turkey hens is still a necessary procedure for the poultry industry. Results from commercial turkey farms participating

in this project, with larger flock and pen sizes, will help determine if this conclusion is justified.

VI. Table Egg Producers

Health

Layer and pullet flocks were healthy with 25 disease incidents reported. The most frequent cases were shell-less eggs and yolk peri-

tonitis. Marek’s disease was diagnosed for the fourth year in a row following three years without a case. There were two flocks di-

agnosed with avian leukosis-like tumours, surprisingly, since breeding stocks have been free of the avian leukosis virus for decades.

Sudden onset of 30-50% shell-less eggs was reported seven times in six flocks. This unusual presentation has never been seen previ-

ously in Saskatchewan. Production of shell-less eggs stopped as suddenly as they appeared. Normal production resumed within 10

days of onset with no subsequent abnormal production. Extensive laboratory investigation has not identified the cause. Further

investigation using suspect tissue is planned.

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.

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 con-

sistent complete feeds.

Since the NIR machine was purchased and housed in the U of S poultry lab, 46 Saskatchewan Egg Producers have submitted sam-

ples for NIR analysis. Table 1 indicates the number of samples that have been analysed each year.

Table 1. Number of samples submitted for NIR analysis, by year

Overall, the majority of the samples submitted are layer diets (73.8%), followed by ingredients (15.4%), pullet rations (6.6%) and

other samples (4.3%). The “Other” classification includes supplements and broiler diets submitted by SEP members.

Table 2. Sample Type submitted for NIR analysis

Table 3 shows how close the NIR value for protein was to the expected value for each sample submitted. About 28% of the sam-

ples submitted had protein values from the NIR analysis that were within 0.5% of the expected value. However, more than 21% of

the samples had protein values at least 1.5% higher or lower than the expected level. Approximately 18% of the samples sub-

mitted did not have an expected protein level denoted on the sample submission form.

Table 3. Difference between expected and NIR protein levels

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 2011 period was 34% which was similar to 2010. In 2011, 13 strains of salmonella were report-

ed, with S. Kentucky, Thompson and Mbandaka the most common serotypes. Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) was isolated from one

production site late in 2010, which is included in 2011 data. Eleven percent of positive farms had more than one Salmonella sero-

type isolated (compared to 23% in 2010 and 21% in 2009) and the most frequent site of isolation was from the egg belt (45%). The

SE flocks followed the direction of Board orders. All other Salmonella serotype affected flocks were followed up with a letter indi-

cating 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

Reference Laboratory identifies the salmonella serotype, a memo containing this information will be sent by post.
