Indonesian Girl Dies of Bird Flu

06 July 2012

INDONESIA - An eight-year-old Indonesia girl from Karawang of West Java died after catching avian influenza, bringing the total death toll to eight this year, Health Ministry said.

The girl died in Jakarta after being treated in a hospital in the city since 28 June.

She first got the symptom of fever on June 18 and five days later the girl went to a hospital in Karawang with symptoms of cough, fever and throat problem before she was transferred to a hospital in Jakarta.

She tested positive for H5N1 virus, which put the total death to 158 out of 190 cases since the viruses first attacked the country in 2005.

An investigation indicated that the girl had had contact with poultry as she on 12 June bought 5 chickens and cooked them. She also passed the market every day on his way to school.
Bird flu had attacked Indonesia, the hardest, since 2005, and then the attacks were eased significantly. But, it has reemerged since last year, killing nine people in 2011.

There were concerns over the bird flu attacks in the region following the reports of the death resulting from the virus in Indonesia, Cambodia, China and Viet Nam.

Indonesian Health Minister Nafsiah Mboi said last month that the country was trying to produce bird flu vaccine to a sufficient level when the pandemic took place.

Wabak H7N3 menular di Mexico

4 Julai 2012

Mexico isytihar darurat berikutan penularan wabak H7N3 yang kian membimbangkan.

MEXICO CITY - Mexico mengisytiharkan darurat terhadap status kesihatan haiwan selepas 1.7 juta haiwan ternakan dijangkiti wabak selsema burung.

Kementerian Pertanian dalam kenyataan memberitahu, lebih separuh ayam dan itik dijangkiti virus itu mati dan dimusnahkan.

"Kami terpaksa mengisytiharkan darurat ke atas kesihatan haiwan bagi mengawal, mencegah dan membasmi virus Type A, selesema burung Sub-Type H7N3," menurut kenyataan itu.

Kumpulan pegawai kesihatan Mexico kini dalam keadaan berwaspada bagi mengelak berulangnya wabak H1N1 yang pernah menyebabkan kematian 17,000 manusia.

Terkini, virus dikesan di Mexico adalah H7N3, yang berpotensi mengakibatkan manusia dijangkiti.

Wabak berkenaan mula dikesan pada 20 Jun lalu dengan dua juta ternakan telah dijangkiti.

Teknik baru untuk Nesting plank

Sesuatu teknik yang baru hendak diperkenalkan pada nestinng plank, ia perlu diteliti dari segi behavior burung walet ditempat asal atau burung itu sendiri sudah adapted dengan persekitaran yang anda sediakan untuk mereka kerana NP adalah bahagian terpenting (tempat  pembiakan ) dan termpat yang paling lama bagi Bw tinggal ( cling ). Sekiranya NP tidak memenuhi keperluan Anatomi ( kerangka/struktur ) dan fisiologi ( Fungsi ) burung walet maka naluri burung walet menolak tempat pembiakan tersebut.
Percubaan anda untuk memperkenalkan sesuatu teknik baru seharusnya tidak berlawanan dengan kedua dua keperluan tersebut.

Antimicrobials that Destroy Bacteria, Solve Resistance

26 June 2012

US - US Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists have developed a new method to create antimicrobials that kill disease-causing pathogens. These antimicrobials can be used as an alternative to antibiotics.

Growing concerns about antibiotic resistance to certain strains of bacteria and increasing restrictions on the use of antibiotics in animals has accelerated the need to find alternatives. Scientists with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the chief intramural scientific agency of USDA, are working to provide new strategies for enhancing production and improving overall animal health. This research supports the USDA priority of promoting international food security.

The patented technology for designing pathogen-targeted antimicrobials is the work of molecular biologist David Donovan at the ARS Henry A. Wallace Beltsville Agricultural Research Centre (BARC) in Beltsville, Maryland. Mr Donovan works in the center's Animal Biosciences and Biotechnology Laboratory.

Viruses that infect bacteria, called bacteriophages (phages), produce enzymes that can be used to kill pathogens. These novel enzymes have been shown to be effective in killing pathogens like streptococci and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, also known as MRSA.
Collaborating with industry, university and federal scientists, Mr Donovan demonstrated that these particular enzymes have molecular domains that can be isolated and will act independently of their protein surroundings. They kill bacteria by eating or chewing up the walls of cells.

The enzymes can be manipulated to create an antimicrobial that targets and kills only specific pathogens. This greatly reduces the probability that non-targeted bacteria will develop resistance.

Islamic Scholars Reject Machine Slaughter

18 June 2012

UK - Leading Islamic scholars have unanimously rejected the automated slaughter of halal poultry using machines with rotary blades, insisting each animal must be killed with a hand held knife.

According to HalalFocus.com, some 35 scholars attended a debate on religious slaughter and all rejected the mechanisation of the procedure under halal law, according to the meeting organiser, Naved Syed, a member of Eblex’s halal steering group.

The issue is controversial, however, with some halal organisations reported to take a more pragmatic view and apparently agreeing to automated slaughter under certain conditions. It is also a delicate matter for enforcement authorities aware of the highly sensitive nature of religious slaughter.

While the meeting was happy with Food Standards Agency guidelines to local authority enforcement officers on halal food issues the scholars expressed concerns that correct practices were being ignored in many cases.

According to the guidelines slaughtermen must use a sharp knife to sever the jugular veins and carotid arteries as well as the oesophagus and trachea of animals, but not the spinal cord as this restricts convulsion, which in turn restricts the pumping out of blood.

However Syed said machine slaughter methods did result in the spinal cord being cut in 5 per cent of cases.

A survey last year showed that of 4.7 million birds slaughtered in one week using so-called halal procedures only 1.2 million used the correct manual method.

Mr Syed said: “If you are going to do halal you must do it properly.” He rejected a suggestion that following correct halal procedures was not practical on a modern, fast moving, poultry slaughterline, insisting that up to 8,000 birds an hour could be processed if four extra slaughtermen were employed."

He predicted that the rejection of automated slaughter methods by the scholars and the proper enforcement of halal manual methods would lead to legal challenges by some companies.

He added that although he organised the meeting he was not allowed to speak in the debate.

Masood Khawaji, president of the non profit authenticating body the Halal Food Authority, said mechanical slaughter methods have become necessary and some scholars and clerics are living in the past. “We have to look to the future,” he said.

Mechanised slaughter of poultry and animals under halal procedures should be permitted provided some criteria are met including ensuring that the animal is not dead before slaughter and blood is drained from the body.

influenza viruses

The 1918 flu pandemic (the "Spanish flu") was an influenza pandemic, and the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus (the second was the 2009 flu pandemic, an outbreak of swine flu). It was an unusually severe and deadly pandemic that spread across the world. 
The pandemic lasted from June 1918 to December 1919,^[3] spreading even to the Arctic and remote Pacific islands. Between 50 and 100 million died, making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history.




This is a common occurrence with influenza viruses: there is a tendency for pathogenic viruses to become less lethal with time, providing more living hosts.^[10]

Can Bird Flu-Resistant Chickens be Developed?

ANALYSIS - Could the answer to breeding a bird that is resistant to bird flu be drawing near? According to researchers at Roslin Institute at Edinburgh University in Scotland and Cambridge University, the day could be drawing near, writes Chris Harris.

The research in to genetically modifying chickens that did not pass on avian influenza was reported about two years ago.

But since that breakthrough, everything appears to have gone quiet on the research.

The original research developed genetically modified (transgenic) chickens that do not transmit avian influenza to other chickens with which they are in contact.

The genetic modification has the potential to stop bird flu outbreaks spreading within poultry flocks.

At the time, the scientists said that the breakthrough would not only protect the health of domestic poultry but could also reduce the risk of bird flu epidemics leading to new flu virus epidemics in the human population.

To produce these chickens, the Cambridge and Edinburgh scientists introduced a new gene that manufactures a small "decoy" molecule that mimics an important control element of the bird flu virus. The replication machinery of the virus is tricked into recognising the decoy molecule instead of the viral genome and this interferes with the replication cycle of the virus.

When the transgenic chickens were infected with avian flu, they became sick but did not transmit the infection on to other chickens kept in the same pen with them. This was the case even if the other chickens were normal (non-transgenic) birds.

The next steps in the research were expected to be the development of birds that not only did not pass on the virus but were also resistant.

However, the research hit funding problems and little has been heard on the matter since.

Now, the research team is hopeful of gaining new funding within the next few months that will enable them to carry on the research to develop birds that are resistant to avian flu H5N1.

Professor Helen Sang, from The Roslin Institute at the University of Edinburgh, said that her research colleagues at Cambridge, headed by Dr Laurence Tiley, had been developing transgenic models in the lab and the results of the trials with cells in culture had been encouraging.

"We have had some trials that look encouraging, but we won't know until we have carried out trials in birds," Professor Sang said.

She said that the research team is hoping for more funding to come through later this year and then the trials with birds can be started.

If the trials prove successful, the prospect of a commercialised avian flu resistant bird could have huge potential for the industry. However, the question of genetic modification always runs the risk of public rejection.

The outcry that has surrounded trials of GM crops in the UK in recent months, let alone the public uproar criticism that followed the news that products from genetically modified dairy cattle could have entered the food chain places big question marks over how a transgenic avian flu resistant chicken will be received.

When the initial research was published in 2010, the research team said that they felt that the public reaction would be positive and good.

The researchers said: "We believe the attitude of the UK public to GM food depends on the nature and purpose of the genetic modification. Disease resistance is clearly a beneficial characteristic for animal welfare and public health.

"The public's awareness of the global threat of influenza is high. We hope that examples that demonstrate clear consumer benefits with no inherent risk will encourage constructive debate about the potential of GM food in the future.

"Ultimately the British public will need to see how they benefit from eating genetically modified food, before they are likely to make the decision to do so."

Professor Sang said: "Using genetic modification to introduce genetic changes that cannot be achieved by animal breeding demonstrates the potential of GM to improve animal welfare in the poultry industry. This work could also form the basis for improving economic and food security in many regions of the world where bird flu is a significant problem."

And she told ThePoultrySite that she felt the public was prepared "to consider this an option" and felt the trials were well worthwhile continuing.

Certainly, if successful, this research could have dramatic benefits not only for the poultry industry but for other livestock sectors as the research team believes that the same techniques can be adapted for other species and other requirements and disease - but only if the public can be convinced first.
