Year of publication 2008

Pages 45

Author Jamil Abdo Saeed Al-Mamari;Animal Production and Health Division

Product type Book (stand-alone)

Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) Better understanding of the specific situations of the different poultry sectors and the related market chains will help to develop appropriate control measures and improved biosecurity. It will also help countries that have not been directly affected by the diseases to make necessary preparations. This report describes the structures of the poultry industry in Yemen. It is part of a series of Country Reports that are commissioned by the Animal Production Service (AGAP) of the Food and Agricultu re Organization of the United Nations (FAO) for the Socio-Economics And Policy Working Group of the Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Disease (ECTAD).

    Evidence-based risk management along the livestock production and market chain: Viet Nam 2019

    Policy change requires support from all levels of stakeholders, starting from the grassroots level to the decision-making authorities. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (FAO-ECTAD) are supporting the Department of Livestock Production (DLP) of Viet Nam to improve risk management along the market chain by closely collaborating with all levels of stakeholders. The project is supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). Bac Giang is one of the provinces with the highest poultry population in Viet Nam. However, the biosecurity conditions of hatchery and poultry households are still very poor, contributing to low production efficiency and increasing risk of animal and zoonotic diseases. Although the legislations of Viet Nam regarding auditing on veterinary hygiene conditions are available, they are not suitable for the small-scale production, which is widely popular in Viet Nam. In this context, DLP in collaboration with FAO is implementing the project “Evidence-Based Risk Management along the Livestock Production and Market Chain” in Bac Giang to improve farmers’ and local authorities’ capacity on good husbandry and biosecurity practices and to support registration, auditing and certification system of hatcheries.

    Zoonotic Disease Risks and Socioeconomic Structure of Industrial Poultry Production: Review of the US Experience with Contract Growing

    The US model of food animal production, characterized by its industrial scale and organization, is currently expanding globally and supplanting traditional methods and organization of animal husbandry. These changes have multiple impacts, which include implications for control of zoonotic disease risks for both animal and human populations. The industrialization of poultry production into confined operations is viewed by some policy-makers as a way to reduce human health risks at this critical animal:human interface. Yet recent outbreaks of HPAI (highly pathogenic avian influenza) in poultry in the UK, the Netherlands, Canada and China, as well as little-publicized outbreaks of LPAI (low pathogenic avian influenza) the United States (US) in 2007 and 2008, provide evidence that these risks are not prevented by standard biosecurity and biocontainment practices. Large poultry operations, while confined, are not inherently bio-secure or bio-contained. Furthermore, the lack of adequate management of animal wastes and the transport of these and other byproduct materials over long distances may provide a major route of pathogen release and transfer.
