Introduction: today's Israeli agriculture plays an important role in the national economy Agricultural output accounts for 5% of GNP and 5.6% of the total export value As a country with more than half a desert, Israel's agricultural achievements are the result of its struggle against the harsh natural environment As early as 1992, Israel's agricultural labor force per capita produced 5.45 tons of meat (mainly including poultry and beef), 14.98 tons of milk and 28.94 tons of eggs In Israel, there are only 1-2 workers in the management of more than ten thousand laying hens Generally, feeding, receiving and cleaning are all automated and mechanized What the managers do every day is just to pack and transport the eggs from the conveyor belt of the chicken farm The rapid growth of animal husbandry is one of the main driving forces for the continuous development of agriculture in Israel in the past 10 years In 1987, the output value of animal husbandry in Israel was only NIS 1791.6 million In 1990, it exceeded NIS 2000 million, reaching NIS 2562.7 million, an increase of 43.04% over 1987, an average annual increase of 14.35%, and an increase of 28.18% over 1990 As a result, the output value of animal husbandry in 1992 reached NIS 3248 million, almost doubling over 1987 It is expected to increase to between NIS 5800-5900 by 2000 With this rapid growth, by the end of this century and the beginning of the next century, the total output of animal husbandry will exceed that of planting, making it the most important agricultural output in Israel The Israeli government attaches great importance to and supports basic research in animal husbandry Israel's Siberian University and p.b.u poultry breeding company adopt high-tech means to introduce disease resistance, cold and heat resistance genes After more than half a century of field experiments in extremely harsh environment, the strongest brown shell layer, Yafa, with excellent egg laying performance, was selected This breed is not only suitable for intensive breeding, but also suitable for thousands of households, so it is particularly suitable for China's breeding environment Israel is located in the west of the Middle East, bordering the Mediterranean Sea in the west, the Red Sea in the southeast, Lebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan in the East and Egypt in the south So there is no natural barrier in terms of epidemic situation The epidemic situation of surrounding countries has spread to Israel continuously, which has brought huge losses to the animal husbandry production just started in Israel However, the poultry experts represented by Dr sambger and pro Hellar have turned the adverse factors into valuable wealth They have isolated chicken bursal disease virus, Newcastle disease virus and infectious larynx gas from the infected chickens Tracheitis virus According to the highest international and Israeli standards for purity, efficacy and safety test, shaffett bio Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd in Israel has produced the world's first-class bursa of Fabricius M65 vaccine, Newcastle disease VH vaccine and infectious laryngotracheitis vaccine (sambger strain).
