Editor’s note: This article is an excerpt from the Aviagen Group’s Decades of Breeding for Welfare & Sustainability Report and additional articles will follow. The Report is designed to demonstrate Aviagen’s commitment to genetic improvement of welfare and sustainability of broiler and turkey breeds. Plus, it covers much more like techniques to ensure robustness and new methods to improve selection and genetic progress. To read or download the complete report, click here.

Welfare and Sustainability Traits

Aviagen has a long history of incorporating welfare and sustainability measurements into its breeding program to drive progress (Figure 4).

The expansion to include turkey breeding programs has allowed sharing of resources and exchange of new ideas and techniques between the breeding programs.

Environmental Sustainability

Environmental sustainability has long been a core focus for Aviagen. Whilst increasing flock outputs through improvements in traits associated with weight, livability, egg and meat yield play a key role in this, the amount of feed a bird requires to develop and grow is key to the global footprint of poultry production. FCR is the single most important trait for reducing the environmental impact of poultry production (Jones, 2008).

The improvement seen in FCR within both broilers and turkeys has greatly reduced the carbon footprint of poultry meat and also reduced the amount of environmental pollutants associated with poultry production.

Figure 5a shows Aviagen calculations of the relative environmental impact of broiler production over time. Broiler genetics from 1972 had a 50% higher environmental impact than 2020 genetics and future genetics will have 10% lower carbon footprint by 2030 than the bird today, which is in line with the estimations made by Jones (2008).

Turkey genetics resulted in a 20% lower carbon footprint between 1977 and 2020, with an expected 10% improvement by 2030 because of improvements made in the breeding program (Figure 5b). These improvements of about 1% per year are primarily driven by genetic improvement of FCR.

For decades, intensive selection for improved FCR has resulted in a highly feed efficient animal that is far more sustainable than many alternative meat sources.

This can be seen in the evolution of the performance objectives published for the BUT6 and Ross® 308 (Figure 6).

Historically FCR was assessed by measuring feed consumption and weight of birds in individual pens. Since 2004 in broilers and 2006 in turkeys, Aviagen has pioneered the use of feed stations, which record individual bird feed intake using transponder identification within a group environment (Figure 7).

This allows the selection of birds with genes associated with improved feed efficiency while the birds are free to express natural behavior. The feed station technology has been highly successful and example of its importance can be seen in the 50% increase in testing capacity in the turkey breeding programs since 2018.

The feeding stations have also allowed the study of feeding behavior, which has shown that broilers and turkeys share the same structure of short-term feeding behavior, which is regulated by levels of satiety. This was also observed when comparing broilers, turkeys and ducks to cattle, pigs, dolphins and rats (Howie et al., 2010, Tolkamp et al., 2011). The correlations between feeding and drinking behavior traits with performance traits is low. There is a wide range of feed and drinking behavior strategies in the broiler and turkey populations, which is important for their adaptability to a wide range of environments and production systems. Individual bird FCR alongside livability, robustness and weight have jointly contributed to the significant improvements seen in flock FCR. 

Since 2014 in broiler and 2017 in turkeys, Aviagen has been applying genomic selection in its breeding programs. Genomic selection increases selection accuracy which results in greater rates of progress across traits. This has been particularly beneficial for FCR where it is not possible to measure the FCR of every individual and the selection accuracy of unmeasured birds is markedly improved thereby enhancing progress in the environmental sustainability of poultry production.

Ethical Charter Implementation Program Expands for Suppliers


September 11 Webinar Highlights New Channels for Supplier Engagement

WASHINGTON – Equitable Food Initiative, the workforce development and certification organization that partners with growers, farmworkers, retailers and consumer groups, announces the launch of a supplier program within the Learn, Assess, and Benchmark (LAB) platform of the Ethical Charter Implementation Program (ECIP), which is available to suppliers beginning this week. 

Until now, the learn, assess, and benchmark channels have been available exclusively to growers. Starting on September 3, suppliers will gain access to Supplier LAB, which includes a host of resources to support their grower partners to align with the Ethical Charter. Suppliers will be guided through carefully designed assessment questions and will be able to benchmark and prioritize areas for improvement. Most importantly, Supplier LAB will enable suppliers to demonstrate their alignment with the Ethical Charter to their retail and food service customers. 

Diona Monroe, Data Manager for EFI, emphasizes the significance of this expansion. “Currently, there is no standardized platform for major produce buyers to assess the extent or impact of social responsibility efforts within their supply chain. This new component of ECIP gives suppliers the ability to demonstrate their leadership and receive recognition for their hard work to promote responsible labor practices. Retailers also get a comprehensive view of labor management systems in their supply chains, moving beyond traditional audits to build capacity and assess labor practices.” 

Participating buyers will benefit from aggregated data and industry-wide reports that can help them identify trends and develop targeted resources to support their suppliers. In addition, retailers will begin to see supplier engagement scores calculated through the use of the new Supplier LAB in early November. 

“We are excited about the impact this next phase of ECIP is expected to deliver by engaging our suppliers in new actionable ways,” said Jim Hancock, Vice President of Produce & Floral at Sam’s Club. “As suppliers begin to self-assess their own management systems, it will allow us to better support them and their growers with additional tools and resources, and to ultimately recognize the suppliers who are most engaged in developing responsible labor practices.”

To introduce the new ECIP supplier program, EFI will host a webinar on Wednesday, September 11, at 11:00 a.m. PDT. The webinar will include a demonstration of each of the learn, assess, and benchmark channels, guest speakers and a live Q&A. More information and the link to register can be found at equitablefood.org/webinars. 

Piloted in 2021, and fully launched in 2023, ECIP LAB is an online platform that provides tools and resources to suppliers and growers to strengthen labor management systems and align with the industry’s Ethical Charter on Responsible Labor. ECIP is designed to connect buyers, suppliers, and growers in a uniform commitment to improving labor management systems and highlighting best practices across the fresh produce supply chain.

Learn more about ECIP’s tools and resources at ethicalcharterprogram.org.

About EFI 

Equitable Food Initiative is a capacity-building and certification nonprofit that works to improve the lives of farmworkers and drive business performance by integrating worker voice and engagement throughout the supply chain. As a multistakeholder organization, EFI brings together growers, farmworkers, retailers and consumers to create assessment, training and organizational development programs that support continuous improvement and address the industry’s most pressing problems. For more information about Equitable Food Initiative, visit equitablefood.org.

Qld squeeze seen pushing some chickpeas on to NSW rail

LIMITATIONS to road and rail capabilities are expected to push some chickpeas harvested in coming months in southern Queensland on to the Moree-Newcastle rail path.

The flow south bucks the normal metric of Brisbane being the Natural Terminal Port for grain and cotton produced across southern Queensland, and north of Moree, 100km south of the New South Wales-Qld border.

With the start of Australia’s bumper chickpea harvest only weeks away for southern Queensland and northern New South Wales, the prediction has come from GrainCorp head of supply chain Josh Connell.

His view is supported by others, including AgForce grains president Brendan Taylor, who are well aware of the pressure a Qld and NSW chickpea harvest forecast at 1.3 million tonnes will put on the local supply chain.

Ramping up that pressure is the scheduled end in late March of the no-tariff period to India, which has returned as a volume buyer for the first time since 2018.

GrainCorp supply chain manager Josh Connell.

All can see an undersupply of rail assets in southern Qld, plus standard restrictions on larger road-trailer combinations and rail paths through Brisbane, as likely to push some Qld volume into Moree, NSW’s northernmost rail head.

“Rail freight in NSW is not as constrained as it is in Queensland,” Mr Connell said.

“If Queensland can’t get itself sorted…we might see some of those border areas go south.”

With its 48-hour cycle time for trains running to Newcastle, Mr Connell said Moree was the obvious place to accumulate chickpeas from the western Downs and border areas, as well as north-west NSW, for the rail journey to port.

“Further than that, and there are lighter axle loads and longer timeframes.”

Mr Connell said traders who can get their product “to the right railhead and to the port” will be able to capitalise on the current market.

Chickpea prices are sitting at $1000/t or more delivered site, very roughly triple what the much higher-yielding wheat is priced at, and the buoyant market points to the winter pulse being the grower’s cash crop of choice this harvest.

Rail limited in Qld

Watco holds the GrainCorp contract in Qld, and moved its first load of chickpeas for the bulk handler in 2019.

That was from Mt McLaren in Central Qld to GrainCorp’s Mackay terminal, and Watco has since shifted many trains full of chickpeas, mostly to Mackay, and GrainCorp’s other CQ port at Gladstone.

Following a collision in May at Goodar, west of Goondiwindi, Watco is down one grain train, and sources have said Aurizon, which hauls for other bulk handlers in Qld, has redeployed some of its rakes to other areas.

Aurizon was not able to say how many grain rakes were available this harvest in Qld, but a spokesperson for the company said it was continuing to discuss opportunities with a range of customers in Queensland’s grain industry.

With Qld’s harvest being the most variable of all states, those within the rail industry are not surprised rail operators do not have a surplus of rolling stock available to put under a bumper crop when it turns up.

“With the lack of rail assets, there’s a major focus on road,” Mr Connell said.

Following a workshop hosted last month by the Qld Transport and Logistics Council, applications have been made to Qld’s Department of Transport and Main Roads to permit larger-than-normal trailer configurations to access Brisbane sites.

These include both export terminals on the south shore of the Brisbane River, GrainCorp’s Fisherman Islands and Wilmar’s Qld Bulk Terminals, and two on the north shore, the public wharf at Pinkenba and the nearby Wagner’s wharf.

While GrainCorp is expecting to use rail to get some chickpeas to its FI terminal, the only one in Brisbane that can take trains, Mr Connell said the need for road transport, and plenty of it, is at front of mind.

“We need to find a way for more grower-direct deliveries.”

“The more combinations that are able to run to port, be it for containers or bulk, the more industry has the ability to benefit from a very short window.

“If it’s not on the water by February…who knows where the market is going to be.

“I think everyone’s well aware of current timelines for the Indian tariff.

“The biggest thing is the pure volume of the crop, the limitations on freight and the short time to move it out.”

Not all gloom on containers

Container freight rates to South Asia are generally seen as prohibitively expensive, and 20-foot food-grade containers are in short supply.

Coupled with the exact timing of the chickpea harvest unknown for southern Qld and northern NSW, only the most confident traders are looking at booking container business.

They include Fletcher International managing director Roger Fletcher, whose company runs four container trains a week into Sydney, carrying sheepmeat from its Dubbo works, plus commodities grown on the company’s own and other farms.

“We’re doing chickpeas best way we can, and that’s in containers,” Mr Fletcher said.

AASV: Lesions in lame vs non-lame pigs

Lameness is likely not secondary to systemic illness with common pathogens


9 September 2024


3 minute read

Editor’s note: The following is from a poster presentation by David Buckwalter and faculty advisers, University of Pennsylvania, during the 2024 annual conference of the American Association of Swine Veterinarians.

Lameness represents a widespread issue which affects viability and growth, ultimately impeding efficient production and adding extra costs to producers. The causes of lameness in growing swine, however, are poorly elucidated and often difficult to diagnose in the field. The objective of this study was to use gross pathological examination to compare lesions in lame and non-lame growing pigs to better understand the etiology of lameness in growing pigs.

Two production companies enrolled 5 farms each for a total of 10 farms. On each farm 2 pigs were chosen, a single lame pig (L) and a single non-lame control pig (C). Pigs were identified as lame if two observers agreed that the animal was slow to rise, limping, reluctant to walk or reluctant to place weight on one or more limbs. Pigs were euthanized and transported to a diagnostic lab for complete postmortem evaluation. Visceral examination was competed on all pigs, all four legs were excised, and each joint examined grossly. Joints were scored for the presence or absence of synovial hypertrophy, hyperemia, or effusion as well as for lesions consistent with osteochondrosis (OC) and physeal bone lesions.

One joint in each L pig that contained synovial lesions was swabbed and a swab was taken from the same location on the C pig from that farm. Odds ratios were calculated for the odds of OC lesions, visceral lesions, and having multiple types of lesions in the lame versus non-lame pigs using a Fisher’s Exact test.

Lameness lesions

The average farm size was 3,624 pigs and the mean age of the pigs was 14.6 weeks. Eight females and 12 males were selected. Eight sow flows were included with five being comingled. There were 16 times greater odds of having multiple lesions in the L pigs compared to the C pigs. The odds of having an OC lesion were no different between the L and C pigs. There was no difference in the odds of having a visceral lesion in the L pigs versus the C pigs.

All 10 of the L pigs had at least one synovial lesion while only 30% of the C pigs had synovial lesions. None of the C pigs had physeal bone lesions, whereas 30% of the L pigs had such lesions. (No odds ratios could be calculated for either of these lesions).

There was a significant difference in the median numbers of locations where there were lesions in the L pigs compared to the C pigs (P<.001) (Table 1). Lesions were evenly distributed between front and hind limbs with 16% of locations scored in the front limbs having a lesion and 14% of the locations in the hind limbs. Only one L pig joint was found to be positive for M. hyosynoviae and none of the C pigs tested positive.

L pigs had more lesions and were more likely to have synovial lesions than C pigs. Only one pig was found positive for M. hyosynoviae, so the cause of the lesion is unclear. In contrast to other studies of pigs this age, the osteochondrosis lesions found were mild and not more likely to be found in the L pigs, decreasing the likelihood of its involvement in the clinical lameness.

Systemic disease was not more prominent in the L pigs, indicating that lameness is likely not secondary to systemic illness with common swine pathogens such as Streptococcus suis, especially given that none of the pigs had overt septic lesions (fibrinosuppurative joint or bone lesions).

Determining the cause of lameness in these animals remains challenging, though bacterial pathogens that cause lesions to the synovium like M. hyosynoviae may be more likely than other causes based on these findings.

Washington Week Ahead: Farmers team up for last-ditch farm bill appeal

Farmers who grow the crops being hammered the hardest by commodity market declines are hitting Capitol Hill this week, accompanied by ag bankers and Farm Credit lenders, to make a last-ditch push for a new farm bill.

In an unusual lobbying move, teams of farmers representing the row crops that depend on the major commodity title programs plan to visit House and Senate offices, with the groups accompanied by an ag lender to help the case that many farmers will face a dire financial situation heading into next year because of the price declines. 

“Congress must act before the end of the year to get that [the farm bill” across the finish line,” said Jake Westlin, vice president of policy and communications for the National Association of Wheat Growers. “It’s not going to be any easier next year.”

A veteran lobbyist told Agri-Pulse the use of cross-commodity teams of farmers to lobby Congress was done at least once before, in lobbying for what became the 2002 farm bill. Commodity groups generally don’t coordinate with each other in visiting lawmakers and their staffs. 

NAWG will have members among the cross-commodity teams of farmers along with the National Corn Growers Association, American Soybean Association, National Cotton Council, National Sorghum Producers and USA Rice.

Separately, more than 300 groups have signed a letter that is going to congressional leaders Monday to make the case for a new farm bill.

USDA last week raised its forecast for net farm income this year but still estimated that sales from crops would be down by 10%. Sales from corn and soybeans are expected to fall about 21.9% and 16.7% respectively, while receipts from wheat and cotton are projected down 14.5% and 25.5% respectively

Members of the National Farmers Union and the National Pork Producers Council also will be in the nation’s capital this week. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will speak to NFU members on Monday. 

Time is fast running out on passing a new farm bill. The Senate Agriculture Committee has taken no action on a bill, and the House Agriculture Committee’s farm bill still has a $33 billion funding gap that needs to be addressed before it can be put on the House floor. After September, Congress won’t be in session again until after the Nov. 5 election.

Senate GOP Whip John Thune, R-S.D., said in August that Congress was likely to pass another one-year extension of the 2018 farm bill. 

That may be the inevitable outcome, but the farm groups lobbying the Hill this week don’t want such an extension attached to the stop-gap funding bill that Congress needs to pass this month to keep the government open after the new fiscal year starts Oct. 1. 

A farm bill extension isn’t included in a GOP-backed continuing resolution that the House is expected to vote on this week. The CR has virtually no chance of passing the Senate, because it would extend through March and also includes the SAVE Act, a bill that would require prospective voters to provide documentary proof of their citizenship. 

Separately, the House is also set to focus on concerns this week about foreign ownership of U.S. farmland. The House is scheduled to consider a bill that would prohibit individuals and companies “owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction of” the governments of Iran, North Korea, China or Russia from purchasing or leasing agricultural land.

The Protecting America’s Agricultural Land from Foreign Harm Act, first introduced by Washington Republican Dan Newhouse, would not require any current landowners to divest of land, but those “associated with these governments” would be barred from participating in Agriculture Department programs.

Chinese investors reported owning 349,915 U.S. agricultural acres in 2022, but the Chinese government did not have any direct filings, according to the USDA. Iranian investors held 1,749 acres that year, while Russian investors held 73. No North Korean investors reported holding land.

The House also has scheduled a series of hearings this week on issues important to agriculture.

FDA’s deputy commissioner for human foods, Jim Jones, will testify before a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, a House Agriculture subcommittee will hold a joint hearing with the House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee on food distribution problems with USDA’s Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which serves about 720,000 seniors.

Also Wednesday, the House Natural Resources subcommittee will have a hearing on bills related to the Endangered Species Act, and a House Transportation and Infrastructure subcommittee will have a hearing on implementation of the Biden administration’s latest waters of the U.S. rule, which defines the jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act.

Also this week, ABC News will host a debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump on Tuesday night in Philadelphia.

Ahead of the presidential debate, the Farm Foundation on Monday will sponsor a debate on ag issues between Kip Tom, who’s leading the Farmers and Ranchers for Trump Coalition, and Rod Snyder, who recently stepped down as director of EPA’s first Office of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. Tom, an Indiana farmer, served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations food and agriculture programs during the Trump administration.
