Record Heat Wave Kills Over 830,000 Farm Animals

SOUTH KOREA - Hundreds of thousands of animals have died in South Korea, the government said Wednesday, due to a heat wave that is heading for a three-week streak.Over 830,000 farm animals, including 786,512 chickens, have been killed since 20 July, when midday temperatures began hovering above 33 C in most parts of the country, according to the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, reportsYonhapNewsAgency. 
The dead animals include 40,780 ducks and 336 pigs. 
Such damages are often caused by power outages that can halt the ventilation and cooling systems at farms. 
The country was forced to issue power shortage warnings for two consecutive days this week as the sweltering weather pushed up its energy consumption to new highs, driving down its electricity levels to what officials called "dangerous levels" of less than three million kilowatts. 
"The number of animals killed may actually be greater, pending on a more thorough survey," a ministry official said, noting damages may also grow from the continuing heat wave. 
The country is also experiencing its longest streak of so-called tropical nights, where overnight temperatures stay above 25 C.

Vietnam H5N1 Outbreaks Reported

 

08 August 2012

VIETNAM - Six further cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 have been reported to the OIE.

The six outbreaks occured between the 16-27 of July.

In total 7004 birds were susceptible. The outbreak led to 5446 cases, resulting in 29753 birds being destroyed.

The outbreaks occured in the following regions:

• Thach Hoi, Thach Ha, HA TINH
• Cam Thach, Cam Xuyen, HA TINH
• Thach Tan, Thach Ha, HA TINH
• Thach Thang, Thach Ha, HA TINH

The cause of the outbreak is still unknown.

nitrite content a big issue in China?

In China, there are reported cases that pregnant women suffered from miscarriage after consuming blood bird nest for few months. Besides there are other health issue related to bird nest (especially blood bird nest) consumption.
Due to cumulative reported cases, the Chinese authorities investigated the issue and came to a conclusion that the nitrite content in the bird nest is the root of the problem. Therefore, the China Government put a ban on the import of bird nest from Malaysia pending the resolution of nitrite content.
The China Government insists to have zero nitrite content in bird nest, which to the bird nest industrialists are impractical to achieve. It could be achieved at a cost and thus pushing up the bird nest prices. Whether it is essential to eradicate the nitrate/nitrite content at all in bird nest is an issue for the China Government and Malaysian Government to resolve.
In fact, nitrate also presents in the drinking water. As a reference, the U.S Environment Protection Agency sets Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) for nitrogen in public drinking water systems. The MCL for nitrates is 10 milligrams per liter whereas nitrites one milligram per liter. These figures may be used as a yardstick to resolve the nitrite content issue.

Mexico declares emergency over new bird flu outbreak

The Mexican government has declared a national animal health emergency in the wake of a new outbreak of bird flu that has affected some 1.7 million fowl, leaving around 870,000 dead.

“We have activated a national animal health emergency with the goal of diagnosing, preventing, controlling and eradicating the Type A, sub-type H7N3 bird flu virus,” the country’s agriculture ministry said.

The declaration implies that farmers would have to quarantine and slaughter the infected birds. Contaminated products are to be destroyed, while unaffected poultry are to be vaccinated. 

It is unclear how many of the 870,000 dead birds were culled by farmers or killed by the virus. 

The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization also confirmed the outbreak of the epidemic. 

The H7N3 virus was detected in the western state of Jalisco, Mexico’s largest chicken-farming region, which produces 11 per cent of the country’s poultry meat and 50 per cent of its eggs.

With poultry farming making up 40 per cent of the country’s total livestock production, the economic loss from the epidemic “is and will be irreparable,” the agriculture ministry stated. 

Health officials in the country have been on high alert since the 2009 outbreak of the H1N1 virus, dubbed “swine flu.” That virus grew into a global pandemic and killed up to 17,000 people. Although there have been cases of humans being infected with the H7N3 virus elsewhere in the world, the bird flu virus is not as readily contagious as H1N1.

No Farmers, No Food, No Future

GLOBAL - In the wake of the Rio Conference for Sustainable Development, Copa-Cogeca welcomes the fact that sustainable agriculture and food security were considered a priority. Copa-Cogeca urges heads of state to agree on a text which recognises the important contribution farmers can make to sustainable development through environmentally sound production practices which enhance food security and the livelihood of the poor and ensure sustained economic growth.

In view of growing world food demand and limited resources, Copa-Cogeca wants to see a committed outcome to the Rio+ Conference which sets the path towards a green economy, in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication and considers green growth as the way to using resources more efficiently without reducing profitability or production capacity. 

It leads to improved food security, eradicating hunger, while conserving land, water, biodiversity and ecosystems, and enhancing resilience to climate change and natural disasters. Enhancing agricultural research, extension services, training and education to improve agricultural productivity and sustainability through the voluntary sharing of knowledge and good practices is key to this.

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.

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.
