How big is the poultry industry’s role in antimicrobial resistance?
My last post before Christmas was about antimicrobial resistance and how too much blame is attributed to agriculture, and I am going to return to that topic today. And I will mention again, that being allergic to many antibiotics, I have nothing to gain through blindly supporting agricultural use of antibiotics — I certainly want as many options left for me as possible.

Options, moderation keys in antibiotics and poultry production
I always think that far too much of the blame is laid at the feet of agriculture where antimicrobial resistance is concerned. Not that I am arguing that animal producers and veterinarians are saints and angels, but I think that they are seen as being far easier targets than the average consumer or medical doctor.

Poultry restaurant chain slips up with amphibians, dictators
The press reports that a 32-year-old customer at a London branch of Nando’s found himself biting into the leg of a four-inch frog. Nando’s in South Africa has been having a rather different problem and had to withdraw a television advertisement that pokes fun at Zimbabwe’s President Mugabe as “the last dictator standing.”

Failure to take care can cost poultry industry
Of course, most of the time, the results that appear from an internet search cover recipes, or the health benefits of eggs and sometimes there is the unusual or quirky story. I remember a few years ago reading about a man in a UK processing plant that had been killed when frozen birds fell on him, and today I came across a report from the UK’s Health and Safety Executive.

Communication and conflict resolution in the poultry industry
I have not followed the conflict long enough or closely enough to know who is right or who is wrong in the dispute at Australia’s largest poultry producer Baiada, or indeed how much discussion there has actually been to find common ground, but what I have seen is that an awful lot of negative publicity is being generated there and, I would image, growing ill-will.

Netherlands to ban kosher and halal poultry slaughter?
Traditional kosher and halal slaughter, including poultry, may become illegal in the Netherlands under legislation due to be adopted before the end of the year, reports the BBC. This would not mean that halal and kosher meat would no longer be available, but simply that animals could not be slaughtered according to halal or kosher rules, and that they must be stunned prior to slaughter.

Triple-yolked egg in media spotlight
For those of you who are regular readers of this column, you will know that I like the unusual, whether it be Romulus and Remus, the two ducklings that hatched from one egg, or the woman that had so many double-yolked eggs, she could hardly contain her excitement.

Europe’s egg producers may already know what’s in store
We are now only weeks away from implementation of the EU’s cage ban, and the first few weeks of 2012 promise to be an interesting time. Just what will happen to all those eggs that come from hens reared in conditions that do not comply with the new rules?
Egg Production
For poultry and egg producers, the customer must be king
Whoever poultry producers’ customers may be, they must be given what they want. If that is meat produced as cheaply as possible, then this is what must be supplied.
Egg Production
How to cook the perfect boiled egg
The “Eggsperiment” was commissioned by the Royal Society of Chemistry and led by Professor Hal Sosabowski, principal lecturer in chemistry at Brighton University, and a team of 12 girls confirmed not only the optimum time for boiling an egg, but also the key variables that make up the perfect dipping soldier.
Egg Production
Smart to invest in egg industry?
Despite ongoing spats between Europe’s egg producers, and a total lack of clarity as to what will happen come January 2012 when the cage ban will come into force (or won’t depending on where you are!), egg production still looks like a pretty safe bet. It is often said that you can make money as easily in a downturn as you can in a growing market, and as many economies are expected to start contracting again, now could be the right time to invest in the egg industry.

Happy organic poultry and egg production
Organic poultry and egg production is growing strongly in France. Looking at the growth in the French organic sector, niche producers are responding to growing consumer demand.
