In this energy crisis country all types of efforts are being made to create power from renewable sources of energy. All possible sources have been tapped e.g. Hydro power, Thermal power, Power from sun and wind, and lastly Nuclear electricity, all failed to meet our demand for electricity. Now we are to look for the electricity generated

from the waste product especially the livestock and poultry waste.

Since the first Earth Day wind and solar energy have been fashionable by a variety of names: alternative, appropriate, renewable, and sustainable, etc. But today, despite decades of subsidies and mandates, it provides less than one per cent of the electrical power in the world.

It is the need of the hour to encourage the use of non-conventional energy sources.

The chicken droppings produce methane gas at a farm in Goundampalayam in Namakkal district and the gas is converted into electricity using a patented technology of a local farmer-turned-entrepreneur. The farmer sells the dried litter slurry generated as a residue as manure for farmers. He uses a method based on an Israel technology and converts the remaining liquid scum as liquid NPK (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) fertilizer. Though generating energy is not new to the region as a handful of farmers are producing 'gober' gas to generate power for captive use, the district hasn't seen the complete conversion of poultry waste into useful products.

A few years ago, Chennai-based GK Bio Energy was producing power from poultry litter in Namakkal and was supplying 1.5 mw to the grid using a foreign technology. It is said the company closed due to mismanagement. But sources say a German company has tied up with an Indian partner to re-vitalize this plant.

A layer bird generates litter of around 50 grams a day and the 3.5 crore layer birds in the district produce 1,600 tonne litter per day. If the total poultry litter in the district is collected and processed, nearly 16 mw power per hour can be generated along with 800 tonne manure and 10,000 litres of liquid fertiliser as by-products. This translates to 60 mw power per hour potential for the whole country as nearly 6,000 tonne poultry litter is generated in India every day. It is benefiting the farmers as they get to earn around Rs 13 per layer bird in its lifetime from just its litter. It is actually 30% of the profit that a farmer earns through a layer bird in its lifetime of 1.5 years.

So encouragement and patronage from the government to earn a subsidiary income from these by-products and save the world from industry pollution on this World Environment Day.

When balancing feed with sulfurcontaining amino acids, feed producers

have the choice between DL-Methionine (Rhodimet®NP99) and

Methionine

Hydroxy-analogue (Rhodimet®AT88). The HMTBA molecule of

Rhodimet®AT88 has similar acidifying benefits as organic acids

molecules and participates on controlling the growth of feed molds and

improving intestinal micro flora and nutrient digestibility.

In Rhodimet®AT88, the NH2 group of methionine found in DL-

methionine is replaced by an OHgroup, which gives it similar properties

to organic acids. The pKa of Rhodimet®AT88 is lower than the pKa of

most of feed acidifiers such as propionic, sorbic or acetic acid and

equivalent to pKa of formic and lactic acid. The acidifying value of

Rhodimet®AT88 is largely proven by experimental results reported in

scientific publications and communications.

Control of feed molds at standard incorporation rate of

Rhodimet®AT88

In vitro tests have shown that Rhodimet®AT88 strongly inhibits mould

With Rhodimet®AT88*, Adisseo offers a way to acidify

feed when supplementing methioninedevelopment (up to -50% for Aspergillus flavus or Fusarium

verticillioides) at standard feed incorporation rate (2.5 kg/ton). In

another test, 1 kg of Rhodimet®AT88 appeared even as efficient as 1.25

kg of potassium sorbate on Fusarium graminum Rhodimet®AT88 helps

the gastric acidification.

A well-known effect of organic acids is the enhanced gastric acidification,

especially for postweaningpiglets. In vitro trials carried out on a

monogastric gut model (TIM) in CERN laboratory of Adisseo prove that

Rhodimet®AT88 decreases the need for HCl gastric secretion to achieve

a target pH of 2. This is due to the capacity of Rhodimet®AT88, as an

organic acid, to reduce the buffer effect of the diet (see explanations on

ABC-4 value). Moreover a low buffer effect in feed may enhance the

antimicrobial effect of organic acids as only the non-dissociated form

(when pH is below pKa) is active against bacteria

Reduction of ABC-4 value enhances digestibility

Data from scientific publications show that the ABC-4 value of feed is

critical to reach optimal

crude protein digestibility. ABC-4 values have been calculated in diets

and related to crude protein digestibility results on piglets on wheat

based diet (Mroz et al., 2000) and corn based diet (Blank et al., 1999;

Falkowski and Aherne 1984). In piglets, the ABC-4 value should be

between 200 and 300 mEq H+/kg to maximise crude protein

digestibility.

In poultry, the ABC-4 value should be between 120 and 170 mEq H+/kg

to maximise crude protein digestibility (Ghazalah et al., 2011).

Inhibition effect on bacteria is also proven

Rhodimet®AT88 has also a positive effect on gut micro flora. It clearly

reduces the total micro flora growth. Considering total gas production in

the gut, Rhodimet®AT88 has similar effect to formic or fumaric acids.

Associated with organic acids (butyric, formic or fumaric acids), the

inhibitory effect on bacteria growth is better than only organic acids. This

effect is particularly significant against Campylobacter jejuni, as shown

through in vitro cultures, while beneficial flora lactobacillus and

bifidobacterium- is not altered.

In vivo trials also prove the efficiency of Rhodimet®AT88 on

Campylobacter in the gut on broilers. Several trials in the world show its

specific and strong effect on Salmonella (Salmonella pullorum, Salmonella

typhimurium, Salmonella enteritidis) and Clostridium perfringens. The

efficacy is similar to that of potassium diformate or formic acid, and better

than lactic acid.

These properties are of great interest regarding to human health.

Campylobacters are considered as the main bacterial cause of human gastro

enteritis, especially Campylobacter jejuni, via chicken meat. Salmonellas are

the second most reported cause of food-borne illness in human in Europe,

sespecially Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium.

Ingredients”, emphasized significance of

Ronozyme ProAct (Pure Protease enzyme) in

reducing feed cost and to better utilize feed

proteins and improving its digestibility when soya

& other protein ingredients prices are extremely

high, as at present. By using Ronozyme ProAct

feed producer can reduce protein and amino acids

substantially and reduce feed cost .

He also talked about various constraints in

digestion and absorption of feed ingredients and

how they can be utilized in an efficient way

through use of biotechnology and genetic

engineering. He suggested use of various enzymes

solutions (RONOZYME VAX, RONOZYME NP,

Ronozyme WX, Ronozyme ProAct) from DSM to

reduce feed cost in poultry. He demonstrated feed

cost reduction in feed formulations by using

Ronozyme NP, VAX and ProAct and other feed

additives to utilize feed nutrients most efficiently

and to maintain better health of birds.

Dr. S. V. Ramarao and Dr. Lokesh Gupta answered

many questions raised by farmers and poultry

consultants for optimum utilization of feed

ingredients and to economize rising feed cost. They

TRACE MINERALS- Essentials for Performance

Trace minerals play a vital role in Poultry performance. Trace Mineral

levels required for high efficiency are well above those below which

physical deficiency symptoms may be observed.

The ever increasing genetic potential of poultry creates a demand for

increased trace mineral availability. To an extent, this increased

requirement may be met efficiently through increasing levels of

inorganic trace minerals in the diet. Beyond a point, however, adding

increased levels of trace minerals in the diet does not imply increased

levels in the system. This may be due to antagonism between metals,

increased competition for ligands and other factors. It is at this point that

organic metals may require to be supplemented on top of inorganic ones

to result in an actual improvement in mineral status.

To meet the increasing demands of modern day poultry, Avitech has

ideally designed a synergistic blend for improving mineral status and

optimizing performance. 'Performins', designed by scientists at Avitech

incorporates highly bio-available inorganic trace mineral salts

supplemented with organic minerals from Zinpro. It offers efficient and

rapid absorption of specially selected and highly bio-available inorganic

salts in the initial stage of supplementation and complements it with

Metal Complexes from Zinpro, U.S.A.

'Performins' is presented as a separate formulation for broilers, breeders

and layers looking into the specific need of each segment. It represents an

innovative range of formulations in which the latest technological

advancements have been incorporated with a view of providing

adequate nutritional support to achieve the genetic potential of high

yielding poultry. 'Performins', therefore, successfully offers high levels

of metals required for increased productivity in modern Poultry flocks.

'PERFORMINS' is positioned as a one-stop solution to improve the

mineral status in poultry and thereby get the maximum advantage of

improved immunity and optimum production/reproduction.

Avitech Launches 'Performins', An Innovative Solution In The Area Of Trace Mineral Nutrition

National Egg Coordination Committee (NECC) has appealed to the

Government of India, to initiate strong measures to curb speculation

and hoarding of Soya Meal and Maize, so as to bring down the price

of these essential feed ingredients, and, provide relief to the farmers,

who are facing the worst crisis, due to an unprecedented increase in

the price of these commodities. .

During the past two months, there has been a steep increase in the

price of soya meal, mainly due to forward trading, speculation and

hoarding by traders, exporters and certain multi-national companies,

in anticipation of a substantial increase in the volume of export.

During the past three months alone, the price has increased from less

than Rs.2000/- per quintal to Rs.4200/- presently and that of maize

from Rs 950 Rs 1000 to Rs 1400/- and above.

As a result of such steep increase in input cost, the break-even level

for egg production which was Rs.2.25 per egg two months ago has

now gone up to Rs.3.00. Similarly, the break-even level for broiler

production has increased from Rs.40-45 per kg live weight two

months ago, to Rs.64-65/- presently.

As compared to the above mentioned cost of production, farmers are

unable to get a farm-gate price of even Rs.30/- per kg live weight of

broilers and Rs.2.80 per egg - due to the perishable nature of the

products and various other factors beyond the control of the farmers.

As a result of such steep increase in input cost and in the absence of a

corresponding increase in farm-gate prices, farmers are incurring

huge losses. Unless remedied soon, a large number of small scale

poultry production units may be closed down, and thousands of

farmers might lose their only means of livelihood.

Apart from 5.0 million persons engaged in poultry farming and

related activities, more than 2.0 crore maize farmers and 5.0 million

soya bean farmers are also directly dependant on poultry industry, as

more than 80% of maize and a substantial share of soya meal

produced in the country are consumed by the poultry industry.

Hence, a set back to poultry industry will have a direct and adverse

impact on the economy of the maize and soya farmers also.

Moreover, the resultant loss of production could lead to a severe

shortage of eggs and broilers, and, the consumers will have to pay an

exorbitant price for eggs and chicken, which is the cheapest source of

animal protein for the poor and vulnerable sections of the

population.

In view of the above mentioned, NECC appealed to the Government

to ban exports and forward trading in soya meal and maize or at least

place quantitative restrictions on volumes for export and forward

trading, to discourage speculation and lower the prices of soya meal

and maize to affordable levels. Simultaneously, NECC also appealed

to the Government for allocation of at least 10 lac tons of wheat by the

Food Corporation of India, so as to minimize the pressure on the

price of maize in the domestic market.

NECC said that it is optimistic about a quick and positive response

from the Government.

4G Would Benefit Farming, says NFUUK - Two out of every three farmers who use the internet say they would benefit from the rollout of superfast mobile broadband (4G) according to new research, says the National Farmers Union.

The findings are taken from the results of the annual NFU communications survey. Speaking at a seminar in London NFU chief rural affairs adviser David Collier said that it was clear that farmers have high expectations of 4G mobile broadband.

“Farmers expect multiple benefits from 4G mobile broadband,” added Mr Collier. “They expect to be able to use the internet more and use it more effectively. From doing business with their customers or seeking out new suppliers to doing administrative work such as banking, invoicing or completing online forms, the internet has become a vital component of rural life.

“Those in areas where the current landline connection is painfully slow are looking forward to using the internet much more easily and effectively than before.

“Farmers also expect to have more time to get on with farming and looking after the environment.”

The move is designed to help the 35,000 producers and 350 livestock feed specialists in the wake of rising prices of corn and soybeans.

M i n i s t e r o f A g r i c u l t u r e a n d R u r a l Development, Rachid Benaissa, told the Interprofessional Council meeting of the industry that bank loans at a zero interest rate, including R'fig, Ettahadi and federal credit, will also be available to some producers,As well as helping to ensure the survival of this industry, which employs between 100,000 and 300,000 people and has a turnover of $1.5 billion, the minister has also announced a programme of modernization for the sector and move to help protect the purchasing power of consumers.

The minister said the sector requires a massive concerted effort to develop the sector sustainably.

Mr Benaissa said: "The latest move can alleviate the effect of increasing the cost of production on the prices of poultry products, including chicken, stabilising the prices first, before gradually pushing them down."

For their part, poultry producers have announced their commitment to act in their respective business segments and work together to ensure satisfactory market supply conditions for the consumer.

Poultry farmers and other stakeholders expressed their willingness to fight against the waste of livestock feed, reducing the consumption index in order to reduce the cost of a kilogram of white meat - both chicken and turkey.

Currently, it is estimated that poultry farmers use 3.5 kg of feed to produce a kilogram of meat, while poultry farmers in developed countries and Maghreb use only 1.6kg to 2 kg through the use of modern farming techniques of production.

This partly explains why the price of chicken in Algeria is twice that of Tunisia or Morocco.The poultry producers have also promised to modernise their buildings and improve farming conditions and to help each comply with the technical standards and improve the health of their livestock in order to improve performance and reduce mortality rates.

EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA - Aviagen has announced that the second module of the new Production Management School for customers based in Europe, Turkey, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) will be held in Turkey between 29th October and 5th November 2012. The School will focus on broiler management including health, welfare and nutrition.

Aimed at poultry professionals involved in the broiler industry the broiler module builds on the fully-subscribed breeder module taking place this August in the UK. A further module on hatchery practice will take place in the Netherlands in Spring 2013.

Nick Spenceley, Course Director, said: “Aviagen Production Management Schools in other parts of the world have proven very successful and popular with customers. We are keen to offer a similar opportunity to our EMEA customers to attend a School in their region.”

“The benefits of joining are significant. Participants get a real boost to their skills from our expert tutors in a real learning environment. They can then pass on this knowledge to their colleagues when they return to work, enhancing flock performance and revenue as a result.”

GLOBAL - Novus International, Inc. has been selected to receive the 2012 North American New Product Innovation Award in Prebiotics for PREVIDA. The award is presented by Frost & Sullivan, a 50-year old global research organization of 1,800 analysts and consultants who monitor more than 300 industries and 250,000 companies.

"Novus is proud to receive such a prestigious award from Frost & Sullivan," stated Thad Simons, President and CEO, at Novus. "We're equally humbled by this recognition because our mission is not to seek awards for what we do; rather it is to focus on sustainably meeting the growing global need for health and nutrition. We're excited about offering our customers the health and nutrition solutions associated with feeding PREVIDA."

Frost & Sullivan's selection of PREVIDA was the result of a decision support matrix (DSM) comprised of five criteria, including 1) Innovative Element of the Product, 2) Leverage of Leading-Edge Technologies, 3) Value Added Features/Benefits, 4) Increased Customer ROI and 5) Customer Acquisition/Penetration Potential. Frost & Sullivan concluded that PREVIDA was truly an innovative product with immense market penetration potential.

Frost & Sullivan's research philosophy

originates with the CEO's 360-Degree

Perspective™, which serves as the foundation of

its TEAM Research™ methodology. "This

unique approach enables us to determine how

best-in-class companies worldwide manage

growth, innovation and leadership," noted

Aarthi Janakiraman, Senior Research Analyst at

Novus Receives New Product Innovation Award in Prebiotics

Frost & Sullivan. "Based on the findings of this

Best Practice research, we're delighted to

present the 2012 North American New Product

Innovation Award in Prebiotics for Animal

Health to Novus."

PREVIDA is a unique prebiotic comprised of an

all-natural, hemicellulose extract that promotes

intestinal health for a variety of species. The

product contains a high level of soluble dietary

fiber in the form of specific oligosaccharides,

which have been shown to provide compelling

digestive health benefits. Studies suggest

PREVIDA impacts gut microflora and

significantly improves immune response

leading to healthier, more resilient livestock.

PREVIDA was discovered by research scientists

at Temple-Inland, a wood products company.

After Temple-Inland assessed the nutritional

profile and health benefits of the product, they

reached out to Novus for its expertise in

developing animal health and nutrition

solutions. Novus has the exclusive global

marketing and distribution rights for PREVIDA.

“Preliminary studies indicate that PREVIDA

promises to be a Prebiotic with increasing health

and nutrition benefits for all livestock," said Ted

Toburen, Senior Director Therapeutic Nutrition

Solutions, at Novus. "We're excited about

offering another solution to our livestock

customers in helping them optimize the health

of their animals."

Novus will attend a special awards ceremony,

hosted by Frost & Sullivan, in San Jose, CA in

September 2012 where they will be presented

with the award.

Poultry producers might have to cut jobs as

companies struggled to pass expenses onto

consumers, the South Africa Poultry

Association said yesterday. Astral Foods cut

150 jobs as it reduced output after the price of

grains, its biggest cost, surged to a record and

cheaper imports of the birds increased, the

country's second-biggest chicken producer

said

The reductions were “directly related to

'cutbacks' on production”, chief executive

Chris Schutte said in response to questions

last week. “Further cutbacks and possible

retrenchments will follow.”

Local prices of grains, which comprise as

much as 75 percent of the cost of producing

chickens, rallied to a record last month as the

worst US drought in almost 50 years

damaged crops and raised world prices.

Poultry imports to South Africa are at a

record according to Astral, which employs

more than 12 000 full-time and contract

employees.

“Some of them have already retrenched, but

they are planning to retrench in the order of

3000 people over the next month or so,”

association chief executive Kevin Lovell said

earlier this month. “Disposable incomes are

stretched… as much as we know we need to

raise prices, we also know that the chances of

being able to do that are rather limited.''

The economy will probably frow 2.6 percent

this year, according to the International

Monetary Fund, less than the Treasury's

February estimate of 2.7 percent. The

government said it needed 7 percent growth

to cut the jobless rate to 15 percent by 2020

from 25 percent now, the highest of more than

60 nations tracked by Bloomberg.

Rainbow Chicken, the nation's biggest

poultry producer by volume, said earnings a

share in the year to June probably fell as much

as 35 percent compared with the previous 15-

month period. Astral's profit for the six

months to March dropped 17 percent, it said.

Rainbow had not cut any jobs as a result of the

PHILIPPINES - The Philippines has temporarily banned importing chicken and its products from the Netherlands after a reported outbreak of low pathogenic avian influenza LPAI, the government said.

After The country's quarantine officers said they would confiscate all shipments of poultry and poultry products with the exception of heat treated products from Utrecht, Netherlands,The last time the Philippines imposed a ban on poultry imports from the Netherlands was in June last year.

The move is a precautionary measure to ensure there is no outbreak in the Southeast Asian c o u n t r y , d e p a r t m e n t o f f i c i a l s t o l d Bikyamasr.com on Friday morning.

“We hope the Dutch officials will use this as an opportunity to make certain that their shipments will not lead to disease,” the official said.

Philippines Bans Dutch Poultry Imports

The government banned poultry meat, wild birds and other poultry products from Gelderland following the outbreak of LPAI in that area.

The Philippines has remained free from avian influenza which has spread in Southeast Asia and caused billions of losses in poultry industries in the region.

US - Sodexo Inc. has announced that by July 2014, all of the 39 million shelled eggs it purchases each year will be sourced from cage-free hens. It is a decision applauded by The Humane Society of the United States, which says the shift will improve the welfare of nearly 150,000 hens annually. The announcement comes just weeks after Sodexo committed to the removal of gestation stalls from its pork supply chain.

"Shifting to cage-free eggs is just one more way Sodexo is proact ive ly implement ing commitments under The Better Tomorrow Plan, our roadmap for sustainability," said Deborah Hecker, vice president, sustainability and CSR, Sodexo. "Our decision to source shelled eggs exclusively from hens in a cage-free environment specifically addresses our commitments to buy local, seasonal or sustainably grown or raised products.”

With more than 6,000 clients in settings that include education, health care, government and corporate dining operations, Sodexo in North America serves 10 million customers daily. By committing to source cage-free shelled eggs for this vast customer base, Sodexo stands to make a significant contribution to improving the

Sodexo Announces Shift to Cage-free Layers

welfare of laying hens.

"Sodexo's move on procurement of shell eggs from more humane sources reflects a strong commitment to hen welfare," said Josh Balk, director of corporate policy for the Humane Society of the United States. "We are grateful that the company has exhibited such leadership in improving the treatment of farm animals within its supply chain.”

Sodexo views its commitment to the humane treatment of animals as highly important, just as it is for the people and the communities that it serves. This step is an important part of the progress the company is making toward sustainability in a range of areas, from the food it sources to the energy and facilities management services it provides.

Among some of the recognised achievements in sustainability for Sodexo are: the Dow Jones 2011-2012 Global Sustainability Leader; Sustainability Yearbook; 2012 SAM Sector Leader and 2012 Fortune's Most Admired Companies. Guided by the Better Tomorrow Plan, Sodexo's global roadmap to sustainability, the company works to actively promote nutrition, health and wellness, commit to local communities and protect the environment.

The world leader in poultry vaccine technology CEVA has combined two of its poultry vaccines into a single dose that will protect against Newcastle, Gumboro and Marek's disease.

Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) has been a long standing challenge in the field. Producers needed a vaccine that worked in the presence of a relatively high level of maternal antibodies.In

response, CEVA developed CEVAC® Transmune IBD, a unique vaccine utilizing upgraded immune complex technology that eliminated the difficulties of vaccinating for IBD by overcoming the challenge of when to vaccinate and the problem of non-uniform administration in the chicken house. It also

The company's Gumboro vaccine, Transmune IBD, and its Newcastle Disease vector vaccine, Vectormune ND (which also protects against Marek's Disease), can be mixed in diluent with a

The two vaccines used to come in packages in different sizes, but the company has standardized the packaging for ease of use. Transmune IBD and Vectormune ND are now available in uniform 1,000-, 2,000- and 4,000-dose vials.

A new technology has been introduced which

makes easy for small flock owners to provide

clean water to their birds.This technology

called BriteTap and this is fitted with a set of

one-way valves, or poultry nipples. After

attached to a water supply tank, the BriteTap

forms a closed-system that effectively shields

water from contamination by dirt, debris and

poultry droppings. This helps to provides

cleaner water to chickens due to its closed-

system design and it is easier and more

pleasant to keep clean. It can be fitted to a wide

variety of water supply containers to suit the

capacity and aesthetic needs of owners. Such

contamination is a frequent problem with

open-air, pan-style, watering devices

commonly used by poultry hobbyists, urban

farmers, and homesteaders. This technology

introduced by ChickenWaterer.com.

General Manager at ChickenWaterer.com

Mark Delman said that the BriteTap dispenser

gives chickens the clean water they need to

thrive. Chicken owners also benefit because

they no longer have to clean a waterer whose

pan is filled with mud and droppings.

The BriteTap chicken waterer can be connected

to a wide variety of water supply tanks, but is

designed to easily attach to a standard water

cooler such as those sold under the the Igloo®,

and Rubbermaid® brand names. Users install

the BriteTap chicken waterer by simply

unscrewing the cooler spigot and replacing it

with the BriteTap. This can be done in less than

two minutes and without the use of any tools.

When fitted to a 2-gallon cooler, the BriteTap

waterer provides a one-day supply of water to

a f lock of as many as 16 chickens.

Users can also attach the BriteTap chicken

waterer to a wide variety of containers of their

choosing including: food-grade plastic pails,

plastic pitchers, and water storage containers

designed for camping etc. To convert these

containers into a water supply tank, users

make a 5/8 inch hole in the side of the

container with a drill.The BriteTap chicken

Considering the monsoon deficit, the Union Government has set a Rs 5.75-lakh-crore farm loan target for public sector banks for the current financial year. In fact, “the banks are hopeful of even exceeding the target and crossing Rs 6 lakh crore,” said Finance Minister P. Chidambaram after inaugurating a new Rural Training Centre at Amaravathipudur in Karaikudi (part of his constituency, Sivaganga).

Chidambaram said the current year target was 20 per cent more than that of the previous year. In 2011-12, the target was fixed at Rs 4.5 lakh crore; again the banks exceeded that by Rs 25,000 crore.

This loan comes at an interest rate of 7 per cent. This will further come down to 4 per cent if the farmers service the loan well, he said.

He said the bankers, during his recent interaction with him soon he assumed office as Finance Minister, assured him of disbursing Rs six lakh crore agricultural loans this year.

"We cannot depend on rain for the whole year for agriculture. Besides farming, you should also learn a non-farming activity like embroidery, cell phone

Banks may shower more farm loans owing to deficit monsoon

servicing, sheep and dairy management. It is where these Rural Training Centres come into play", he said.

Elaborating on the training centre, he said that, as farmers cannot depend only on agricultural income, they have to look at non-farming sources too to ensure regular income flow. This centre would train farmers in various activities such as poultry farming, sheep rearing, tailoring and mobile handset repair.

The centre has been jointly sponsored by Nabard , Indian Bank and Indian Overseas Bank. Besides sharing the running expenses , the three sponsoring banks have shared the cost of construction of the new campus as well.

For Tamil Nadu alone, the PSU banks have set a target of Rs 51,000 crore towards farm loans (against Rs 36,000 crore last year), said M. Narendra, Chairman and Managing Director of Indian Overseas Bank.

Of this, 60 per cent will go toward crop loans, and remaining for use in buying tractors, constructing cold storage facilities and mechanisation.

National Egg Coordination Committee NECC

has appealed to the government to ban exports

and forward trading in soya meal and maize or

place quantitative restrictions on both the

activities to bring down the prices of these

essential ingredients and provide relief to

farmers.

NECC also urged the government to initiate

strong measures to curb speculation and

hoarding of soya meal and maize.

During the past two months, there has been a

steep increase in price of soya meal, mainly due

to forward trading, speculation and hoarding by

traders, exporters and certain multi-national

companies in anticipation of substantial

increase in the volume of export. In the past

three months, the price of soya meal has

increased from less than Rs.2,000 per quintal to

Rs.4,200 at present and that of maize from

Rs.950-1,000 to Rs.1400 and above.

As a result of steep increase in input cost, the

breakeven level for egg production, which was

Rs.2.25 per egg two months ago, has now gone

up to Rs.3.00. It also went up for broiler

production. In the past three months, the price

of soyameal has more than doubled. As a result

of spiralling input costs, the cost of production

for an egg has increased by 25%. Similarly, the

production cost for broiler meat has risen by

more than a third. But the absence of a

corresponding increase in farm-gate prices has

led to poultry farmers incurring huge losses and

unless the situation is remedied, half of the

poultry industry would be wiped out, NECC

said.

Ban sought on soya meal, maize exportUK - Official new data shows that today's eggs

contain more than 70 per cent more vitamin D and double the amount of selenium than when previous analyses were carried out 30 years ago.

Today's eggs also contain around 20 per cent less fat, more than 20 per cent less saturated fat, around 13 per cent fewer calories and more than 10 per cent less cholesterol than previous surveys suggested. An average medium egg now contains 66 calories (compared to the previous figure of 78 calories) and an average large egg 77 calories (previously 91 calories).

The data, produced by the UK Food comp project consortium, funded by the Department of Health as part of their rolling programme of nutrient analysis surveys, provides the first update on the nutrient content of eggs since the 1980s.

Professor Judith Buttriss, Director General of the BNF, explained: 'This is the latest in a series of analyses from the DH-funded UK Foodcomp project that provide up to date information on the composition of the food we eat. These particular data reinforce the contribution to essential nutrients that eggs can make as part of a varied diet, for people of all ages.'

The new analysis, part of which is being presented at The Nutrition Society's Summer Meeting on 18 July, found that two medium eggs can provide around two-thirds of the RDA (Recommended Daily Amount for EU labelling purposes) for vitamin D. The additional vitamin D found in eggs is particularly significant in the light of evidence suggesting that a large proportion of people in the UK have an inadequate supply of this vitamin.

It has been suggested that, in addition to the well-established role of vitamin D in bone health, this nutrient may also play a role in the immune system and beneficially influence the incidence of some cancers, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

'This is a very welcome finding at a time when there

Eggs Contain More Vitamin D, Seleniumis rapidly accumulating evidence that a lack of vitamin D could be a risk factor for a number of chronic diseases,' says Cath MacDonald, independent nutritionist.

The increased selenium content of eggs is also of public health significance as UK selenium intakes have declined in recent years alongside a switch from North American to European wheat. Selenium is important in protecting cellular components such as DNA, lipids and proteins against oxidation.

The new analyses reveal that an average medium egg now contains around 177mg of cholesterol, although it is now acknowledged that cholesterol in foods such as eggs does not have a significant effect on blood cholesterol in most people. All major UK heart and health advisory bodies, including the British Heart Foundation, have already removed the previous limits on egg consumption linked to their cholesterol content.

The changes are believed to be the result of improvements to hens' feed, an increase in the ratio of white:yolk in an average egg, and improved analytical methods since the last official Government analyses were carried out in the 1980s. Vegetable oils replaced meat and bonemeal in UK hens' feed in the 1980s and it is believed that better quality oils, together with other enhancements to hens' feed, have improved the hens' absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and the take-up of nutrients.

Paul Finglas, coordinator of the UK Foodcomp project at the Institute of Food Research, said: 'The results from this project are important for monitoring the quality of our national diets through surveys such as the Department of Health's National Diet and Nutrition Survey, and show the benefits of private:public partnerships working together to support new research projects.’

Andhra Pradesh, which is home to majority of the country's emu population, will have a processing facility soon.The facility will come up at Patancheru in Medak district with an investment of Rs 14 crore.

“It would have equipment and process to suit the FDA (United States Food and Drugs Administration) requirements,” N. Srinivas Chowdary, a promoter of AP Emu Processors Private Limited, said. Andhra Pradesh accounts for more than half of the country's emu population of 13 lakh. The plant, to be set up under the company's new subsidiary AP Emu Processors on 10 acre, will have an initial capacity to process 600 kg of frozen emu fat into refined oil and soap stock per day.

“They are following crude methods for slaughter and production of oil. As

a result, we see poor quality of oil with no standardisation,” .He said there

was huge scope for the emu oil in cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries

globally.

“We have tied up with a US firm for procurement of the scientifically

produced oil,” Chowdary said. With a view to creating awareness on the

rearing of the bird and business opportunities, the company is organising

a meeting in Hyderabad on August 19.

According to SK Maini, partner, AP Emu Processors, Andhra Pradesh

leads the country in emu farming with approximately 3,500 farmers and a

bird population of 800,000, closely followed by Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra,

Punjab, Haryana, Karnataka and Gujarat. The total emu population in

India is estimated to be 1.4 million.
