Top 10 keywords for the global poultry industry in 2020

As the epic 2020 nears its end, the global pandemic of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic (the "New Crown Outbreak", "COVID-19") continues.
By 2020, after a century of unprecedented events, facing the test of survival and dealing with unprecedented challenges, the industry, together with hundreds of millions of people, will overcome fear, strengthen confidence, go through an extremely difficult road, and write down a heavy page of the history of the development of the world poultry industry.
The unknown is much greater than the known, thus making the development of the global poultry industry in 2020 more complex than in previous years, but through the ten key words and the series of ten events that have occurred and are taking place, we can still see some trends in China and the world poultry industry and the future direction of the food supply chain.
key words: the new crown outbreak of the new crown to the poultry industry practitioners caused great loss of life and property, endangering the poultry industry chain and supply chain any can wait, should wait.
is a true reflection of the most severe period of the global pandemic prevention and control situation of the new crown epidemic.
closed cities, road closures, closed villages, isolation measures caused a large number of chicken seedlings were destroyed, factory shutdowns, labor shortages, exhibition cancellations or extensions of numerous incidents, coupled with consumer hotels / restaurants closed, schools delayed opening, residents hoarding and other effects, the global market price of eggs, chicken also appeared large fluctuations and shocks, to the poultry industry has also brought huge economic losses.
As the new crown epidemic continues to evolve and the destructive power continues to escalate, emergency management is facing an unprecedented test, with more than 100,000 employees infected with the new coronavirus at more than 300 meat and poultry processing plants in the United States, Canada, Brazil and the European Union, with at least 20,000 confirmed cases and at least 100 deaths.
According to a report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 54 percent of people infected with COVID-19 at meat and poultry processing plants in Nebraska come from production areas (74 percent), buffet/rest areas (51 percent), locker rooms (43 percent), and entrances (40 percent), while 54 percent come from processing lines such as segmentation, significantly higher than 16 percent from primary processing/slaughter lines.
factors that may affect the risk of COVID-19 infection in meat and poultry processing plants include physical distance in the workplace, hygiene and crowded living and transportation facilities, and calls for social distance, hand hygiene, cleaning and disinfection, and medical leave policies, the report said.
, industry experts say meat supplies cannot take the health and lives of processing plant workers above they must find solutions to protect their personal safety.
Keywords 2: Avian influenza due to local changes in avian influenza has not made way for the new crown outbreak, still raging in many places every month, resulting in a large number of poultry losses compared with the same period in 2019, the same is, from January to November 2020, there are new bird HPAI outbreaks every month, and January to April for the high season, respectively, 52 new, 72, 88, 209 cases.
Unlike in previous years, data released by OIE show that since 2020, the HPAI outbreak poses a great threat to poultry health, but also to the health of other animals other than poultry, Kazakhstan has two new outbreaks of H5 subtype HPAI poultry, resulting in a total of 390 susceptible pigs, 3593 cattle, sheep 5439, horses 1206, but did not cause these susceptible animals infected with disease.
January 1 to November 16, 2020, the top 10 economies for new bird HPAI outbreaks were Hungary 273, Taiwan 67, Russia 66, Vietnam 63, Poland 31, Kazakhstan 11, Bulgaria 9, Israel 8, Germany 7 and India 7.
the top 10 countries in terms of the number of new birds killed in the HPAI outbreak were: Hungary 3.534 million, Russia 1.768 million, Taiwan 582,000, Kazakhstan 54.2 million 50,000, Poland 509,000, Australia 434,000, Bulgaria 421,000, Japan 387,000, Saudi Arabia 385,000 and Israel 286,000.
January 1st to November 16th, 2020, there were 2 new outbreaks of HPAI in poultry in Chinese mainland, one outbreak of H5N6 subtype HPAI in Xicing County, Nancing City, Sichuan Province, and one outbreak of H5N6 subtype HPA in Fuyang City, Hunan Province. 1 poultry H5N1 subtype HPAI outbreak in Shuangqing District, two outbreaks caused a total of 10347 susceptible poultry, 6340 infected cases, 6340 fatal cases, culled poultry 4007.
same period, there were five outbreaks of H5N6 subtype HPEY in wild swans in Xinjiang.
Keywords 3: Salmonella's perforated salmonella continues to create risks, triggering egg/chicken recalls, while the Newtown epidemic appears calmer in 2020, with a number of suspected salmonella infections in food and agricultural products around the world, such as onions in the United States, eggs in France, chicken in Poland, and a brand of cake in China.
According to a report released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there will be six salmonella outbreaks in the U.S. in 2020 (as of November 18), including one suspected human-infected Hadar salmonella outbreak caused by exposure to backyard poultry, in all 50 U.S. states, with 1,659 cases reported, of which 326 were hospitalized and one died.
The genome-wide sequencing of salmonella isolated from 1,493 cases and two environmental samples showed that 793 (53.2%) isolated strains were resistant to conventional antibiotics such as amoxicillinclavit acid (resistance 1.5%), streptomycin (47.3%) and tylutin (47.6%).
Key words four: reduce anti-drug resistance to reduce anti-drug resistance is the focus of the industry for many years, 2020 because of China's implementation of feed resistance and appear to be more than the way to reduce resistance is the way rather than the goal, antimicrobial resistance has become a world problem, but also one of the biggest health threats to people and animals, is trying to destroy more than 100 years of modern medicine, modern veterinary science progress and results.
now, after years of "prohibition" implementation, the European Union, the United States and other advanced economies in reducing the use of antimicrobials in humans and animals, but the problem of antimicrobial resistance is still increasing evolution.
same time, the World Health Organization, the World Organization for Animal Health and countries coordinated to strengthen monitoring and research, and developing economies are following suit.
will ban all conventional farm antibiotics, including all preventive treatment for animal groups, from 28 January 2022, in line with new EU legislation introduced in 2019.
strongly denied this, saying it was the reason for the trade barriers.
.S. Department of Agriculture said the regulation "has no reliable scientific basis."
2020, China's ban on forage antibiotics was officially implemented, setting off a wave of resistance reduction, but eggs, chicken and other reported detection of banned veterinary drugs occurred in succession.
the same time, Zhengda Group, Cargies has launched in the Chinese market to raise non-resistance (RWA) chicken.
January 11, 2020, Zhengda Group launched Benja's non-resistant chicken products at the Ten-Liburg store in Beijing.
addition, Jilin Shengda Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. is also vigorously promoting its thousands of non-resistant chicken.
Key words: non-cage non-cage in Europe and the United States slightly reduced the heat, but in some developing economies quietly rising attention from the current official release of data, leading the progress of animal welfare levels in the European Union countries in the past two years in poultry, pigs, and rabbits and other pets are more concerned.
data released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture show that as of March 2020, there were 60 million (17.8 percent) of caged free egg-producing chickens in the United States, 19.4 million (5.4 percent) of organic-farmed egg-producing chickens and 257.1 million (76.4 percent) of traditionally farmed egg-producing chickens.
2020, Brazil is moving ahead with non-caged breeding.
following the Brazilian food company (BRF)'s stated that it would start buying non-caged eggs for processing products such as cheese bread in September 2020, the Brazilian egg giant said in November that it would invest in a new 2.5 million non-caged egg and chicken project.
, promoting non-caged chickens means leaping development, and land and water resources are two major factors to consider.
The European Union and the United States are transitioning to non-caged cages on the basis of rich caged breeding, while Chinese egg and chicken-scale breeding is mainly cage-based, except for the current large groups in China began to invest in egg-and-chicken rich caged projects, most enterprises are between wait-and-see and swing.
, however, Metro's commitment to include the Chinese market in its future commitment to buy non-cage eggs has also attracted great attention from the Chinese egg and chicken industry.
addition, Shanxi Pingyao Weihai Eco-Agriculture Co., Ltd. and Nestle jointly built a non-cage welfare bulk breeding system for eggs and chickens.
Keywords 6: Vulnerability in the food and poultry industry supply chain highlighted, but also the tentacles extended to animal welfare and the new crown outbreak in the early stages of a number of areas of scholars, experts and advisory bodies forecast the opposite, in the first three quarters of 2020, the United States broiler slaughter was less affected and in August has achieved a year-on-year growth of 8%, by China's import demand increased, U.S. chicken exports also showed a significant year-on-year increase; China's chicken production capacity has recovered steadily and imports have increased significantly year-on-year.
the latest USDA forecast, global chicken production and import and export trade will continue to grow in 2020.
, however, the resilience shown by chicken production in 2020 and the resilience shown by the chicken trade are somewhat unusual compared to the vulnerabilities highlighted by the chicken seedlings and egg supply chains.
, such as The transport of chicken seedlings and eggs in China, as well as the introduction of ancestral chickens, a large number of chicken seedlings were destroyed.
For example, one-day-old chicks hatched in the Netherlands cannot be transported to their destinations, euthanasia and the destruction of eggs to be hatched, mainly because transport to Africa has been suspended due to the new crown outbreak, and production is difficult for African poultry producers, which are heavily dependent on seed imports.
, Congo, Nigeria and Ivory Coast brought in 1.7 million one-day-old chicks a month, most of which were destroyed in the exporting countries after shipments were suspended, according to the data.
, there are serious concerns about the vulnerability of poultry supply chains and poultry welfare.
"We have to do something to make the supply chain more flexible for poultry and farm animals, and there are a lot of people who are interested in building small poultry and meat processing plants," said Dr. Temple Grandin, a professor of animal science at Colorado State University.
2020, affected by the new crown epidemic, the number of people in the European Union on animal welfare demonstrations to pressure activities is relatively reduced, but also in the new crown epidemic prevention and control situation stable period to organize rallies and demonstrations to pressure.
U.S. has also seen a decline in concern for animal welfare as a result of the new crown outbreak.
industry observers said that although the industry on poultry high-level avian influenza, African swine fever outbreak, vulnerable poultry, pigs have taken a more perfect culling measures, but in non-animal health emergencies are not ready, need to increase research and find feasible solutions.
Keywords 7: Anti-competitive international trade risks have far exceeded the industry's ability to predict and control, and anti-competitiveness is more realistic so far, the World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations on competition policy for nearly 16 consecutive years has been at a standstill stage, with tariff disputes as the focus of the trade war.
based on typical events, studies have shown that if anti-competitive behaviour in an economy swells, it can have an impact on international trade in products in that sector in many different forms, as well as on the development of the same industry in other economies.
For the poultry industry, poultry and egg trade has been a major focus of the industry, and the new monthly outbreak of avian flu has created greater variables in the already complex international trade in poultry products.
, on July 27, 2020, a new expectation emerged in the eight-year-old U.S.-India poultry trade tariff dispute, and the WTO arbitration panel agreed on the same day to delay the award of the dispute, which is expected to be decided by January 2021.
dispute between the two sides mainly lies in India's non-lifting of strict controls on the import and export of poultry products, and the United States has therefore taken measures to impose $450 million in tariffs on Indian goods.
Since 2020, due to the impact of the new crown outbreak, many countries suspended egg exports, chicken imports, and the U.S. animal protein industry chain set off a supply chain price differential caused by the loss of the interests of farms / retailers anti-competitive behavior tide, especially in the beef sector is the most intense, followed by pork, chicken, eggs; After seven years of anti-competitive practices, some U.S. chicken producers have expressed good faith in the face of legal rulings, and U.S. egg giants have been indicted on charges of manipulating egg prices.
, there is also anti-competitive behaviour in poultry markets in some developing economies, such as China's egg market.
This of the key words: anti-culling 1-day-old in the community demand, retail procurement commitment, egg embryo sex identification technology innovation, driven by Swiss legislation in 2019 to prohibit the culling of 1-day-old, Germany and France set off a new wave, legislation has not long since the grew up will not lay eggs and meat is not good and was culled The global culling of 1 billion one-day-old cocks each year has caused widespread concern through the whole society, and the European Union countries to legislate to solve this problem is heating up, after Switzerland introduced a ban on one-day-old cocks, Germany and France began to introduce draft legislation, the Netherlands four animal welfare organizations asked the Prime Minister to follow the French and Swiss practices, the Implementation of the Dutch ban in 2021.
With the industrialization of innovative techniques for gender identification of egg embryos, Aldi Group, Carrefour and other large retail groups said they would phase out the purchase of eggs from eggs produced by the culling 1-day-old hatching system and start sourcing and selling respEGGt.
, it has also attracted capital to invest in a number of start-ups to conduct such technology research, which has expanded from egg and chicken hatching systems to duck hatching systems.
fact, back in 2008, Germany
