Prevention and control of mycotoxins in the poultry production chain: a European view

Salmonella are widely found in the poultry industry, which subsequently may pose a risk to animal and human health. The aim of this review is to highlight strategies for the prevention and control of Salmonella at each stage in the poultry production chain by monitoring risks from the farm to the retailer. Among the primary approaches for control of Salmonella at the farm level includes the administration of synthetic and natural compounds to live chickens (vaccination and antibiotic), litter management as well as fortification of feed and acidification of drinking water. In the poultry processing plant, multiple hurdle technology and different chilling conditions to reduce Salmonella were discussed. In the retail level, an effective monitoring program to control Salmonella contamination by good manufacturing practices and hazard analysis and critical control points has been reviewed. Overall, we conclude that these approaches play a role in reducing the dissemination of Salmonella in the poultry industry. However, there is no published data related to logistic scheduling of poultry processing.

West Java has been conducting Policy of Large-Scale of Social Restriction (in bahasa Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar or PSBB). However several companies in wide range of industries are allowed to run the production with health protocol that need to be fulfilled by company in order to keep the worker’s health during this pandemic. One of manufacturing companies with 307 workers in Bekasi Regency is still running the production as part of food production chain. As Indonesian Health Ministry Guidelines for Prevention and Control COVID-19 at Office and Industry Workplace during Policy of PSBB need to be fulfilled, the company implements several actions to protect the worker from COVID-19 at workplace environment. At this moment, safety and health management commitment need to be assessed making sure implementation of the guidelines. In order to make sure COVID-19 prevention, there must be implementation evaluation of Guidelines for Prevention and Control of COVID-19 at Office and Industry Workplace during PSBB Policy. Study shows although the finding of low level safety and health management commitment from worker’s perception, majority Guidelines for Prevention COVID-19 at Office and Industry Workplace during PSBB that focus for workplace environment have been facilitated by the management of company.

Abstract BackgroundLive attenuated vaccines have been extensively used to prevent infectious disease in poultry flocks. However, exogenous virus contamination in attenuated vaccines had been reported several times in the past, which brought enormous threat to poultry production and diseases prevention and control. Recently, an attenuated vaccine against Newcastle Disease produced in China was detected contamination with chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV) in a routine inspection for exogenous virus. To understand the multiple routes of transmission of CIAV, and to better formulate correct prevention and control, it is necessary to find out the possible source of this contamination.Methodslood samples of SPF chickens that generated vaccines were collected to investigate CIAV antibody titers by ELISA test. Then, 14- to 18-day-old SPF chicken embryos (n=40) were randomly selected, DNA was extracted and detected by quantitative real-time PCR and nucleic acid dot hybridization assays. To further investigate the molecular features of the CIAV isolate, the complete genome of CIAV was amplified and analyzed.ResultsThe results showed both SPF chickens and embryos for vaccine preparation were CIAV-positive. In addition, the full-length genome sequences of CIAV from vaccines and SPF chicken embryos were consisted of 2,298 nucleotides (nt) with 100% homology, named as SDSPF2020 (Genbank accession number: MW660821). It demonstrated 95.7%-99.6% homology with the complete nucleotide sequences of reference strains, and shared the closest evolution relationship with the Chinese strain HLJ15125. ConclusionThis study illustrated that vertical transmission of CIAV from SPF chickens and embryos was an important way for exogenous virus contamination in vaccine production. As such, vaccine quality monitoring and health control are significant in the poultry industry from an environmental safety point of view.

Microbial monitoring of broiler production can provide an important theoretical basis for the prevention and control of animal diseases and reduce the pollution of the environment. In order to investigate the contamination and spread of Campylobacter jejuni in broiler production chain, we collected samples from the broiler farms, slaughterhouse and market of a big production chain in Qingdao, isolated and identified of Campylobacter jejuni. Then we used genotyping method to subtype the isolates. The result showed that C.jejuni were widespread in broiler pruduction chain, and the strains can spread during the production chain, so strengthen the scientific management of the production chain must be implemented. Control in the feeding, processing and preparation before eating of chicken are the important measures in reducing the Campylobacter jejuni infections caused by chicken.

The study assessed the adoption of biosecurity for disease prevention and control by poultry farmers in Imo State. The objectives of study were to: ascertain the socio - economic characteristics of poultry farmers in Imo State; identify sources of informationon biosecurity measures adopted by poultry farmers for disease prevention and control in Imo State; ascertain biosecurity measures adopted by poultry farmers for disease prevention and control in Imo State; determine factors influencing adoption of biosecurity practices. A research survey of 60 owners and managers of poultry farms was used. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select samples for the study and data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics (Logit regression). The study revealed that most of the poultry farmers in the study area were male and married and that these farmers were still intheiractiveandproductiveageand most of them were educated. Majority of the poultry farmers in the study area were micro and small scale farmers and have considerable experience in poultry production and are members of farmers’ groups with profit motive as their farming enterprise objective. Majority of the poultry farmers had training in livestock management and most of the respondents did not receive any extension visit for the past two years up to the date of data collection and that the practice of biosecurity in the study area is high. Farmers association, veterinary officers, Internet and researchers are the significant sources of information on biosecurity to the poultry farmers in the study area. Age, cooperative membership, experience in poultry farming, training, farm size, education and access to credit significantly influenced the adoption of biosecurity practices in the study area. Any increase in the level of these variables would increase the level of adoption of biosecurity practices for disease prevention and control in the study area. Based on the findings of the this study, it is recommended that aggressive sensitization of the poultry farmers through seminars, workshops and conferences by relevant authorities on the advantages of adoption of biosecurity measures in their farms and encouraging fellow farmers to do so.
