The Philippine egg industry faces challenges in production efficiency, such as environmental conditions, biosecurity, manpower shortages, and handling downgrades. Precision farming helps mitigate these through monitoring sensors that regulate temperature, ventilation, and humidity. Adaptive measures are taken during extreme weather, while precise feeding and watering ensure optimal nutrition for hens. Additionally, strict biosecurity protocols minimize disease risks, and improved egg handling reduces downgrades and lowers manpower costs.

To know more about the topic, listen to Dr. Renato Rollan as he discuss his presentation entitled “Precision Egg Farming Under Local Conditions” during Poultry School on September 13, 2024 2:30-3:00pm Plenary Session at The Grand Ballroom, Marriot Hotel Manila, Pasay City.

See you there!

Diagnostic procedures are essential in poultry management for early disease detection, effective treatment, and preventing outbreaks.

The seminar topic of Dr. Dixie Grace Mndz during the Poultry School will cover a disease outbreak in 13-week-old pullets, initially showing high mortality and liver lesions, progressing to hemorrhagic intestines. Various diagnostic tests, including necropsy and PCR, identified the diseases and guided treatment.

See you on September 12, 2024 1:30-2:30pm Session B: Layer at The Grand Ballroom, Marriot Hotel Manila, Pasay City.

Third Quarter Syndrome-- LET US PREPARE.

Third quarter syndrome is defined in the urban dictionary as "a period of high stress and fatigue " referring to students who slacked and has to make up for the lost time.

In the poultry industry, it is the moment that farmers see a higher incidence of wet litter in their flocks, wet litter in the houses, inflammated intestines and coccidiosis. The exact mode of action is not entirely known but it has to do with the grains being relatively fresh and elements like pentosans and gluten.

The combination of these two elements determine how the flour can absorb water and form dough, but this happens also in intestines. The increased viscosity of digesta in the gut leads to higher bacterial numbers, which in turn trigger the immune system. When this process coincides with coccidiosis, the bacterial growth can speed up even further. This leads to a wet litter, a reduced feed intake, a lower growth rate and finally a higher feed conversion ration.

Next to the "grain issue', the change in weather conditions can also be a factor. Relative humidity, ventilation, temperature.

Third quarter is a difficult time of the year for the poultry industry. Be vigilant.

Maintaining water lines in layer cages is essential to prevent biofilm buildup for several key reasons:

1. Health: Biofilms can harbor harmful bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli, leading to diseases in birds. Clean water lines help prevent these infections.

2. Water Quality: Biofilms can restrict water flow and affect water taste, leading to reduced water intake and hydration issues in birds.

3. Productivity: Healthy birds with access to clean water maintain higher egg production and better feed conversion efficiency.

4. Cost Efficiency: Preventing disease reduces the need for medications and lowers mortality rates, improving profitability.

Regular flushing, necessary treatments, and monitoring are vital practices to maintain clean water lines and support the overall health and productivity of the poultry operation.
