There is no doubt that we live in interesting and challenging times for the farming sector; successful agriculture is key to global well-being and effective and sustainable farm management is the very “bedrock” to ensure that this happens. Thus the overall theme of this Congress on Future Farming Systems is highly appropriate and topical. The importance of young people to the industry cannot be overestimated and I am therefore pleased that the final day of this 21st Congress is looking specifically at this vital issue. As far as the UK is concerned, the decision to leave the EU is very much at the forefront of our minds, but one of the great benefits of international conferences such as this one is that we can learn from each other to see how we can farm in different market conditions. Here again the importance of farm management is vital. Your local organising committee are to be congratulated on arranging a very well balanced programme of activities with plenty of time for networking in both a working and social environment. I am disappointed that I cannot be with you, but I wish you all a successful and enjoyable Congress in this beautiful city. 3 John IFMA 2017 Congress: McIntyre Conference Centre 1st floor plan John McIntyre Conference Centre first floor plan IFMA 21st CONGRESS PROGRAMME John McIntyre Conference Centre CONGRESS CONGRESS SOUTH HALL SOUTH HALL 4 IFMA 21st CONGRESS PROGRAMME 3rd, 5th and 7th July 2017 John McIntyre Conference Centre, Edinburgh (JMCC) John McIntyre Conference Centre JMCC restaurant Pentland theatre Pollock Halls SUNDAY 2nd juLY 13.00 - ■ REGISTRATION OPEN 21.00 John McIntyre Conference Centre (JMCC) 15.00 ■ informal walk – ‘Walk through Holyrood Park’ Approx. time 90 minutes.

  • United Kingdom Poultry and Poultry Meat Statistics September 2020
    22nd October 2020 United Kingdom Poultry and Poultry Meat Statistics – September 2020 This release shows the latest monthly information on poultry statistics, including hatchery output, slaughtering and meat production volumes. The key results for September 2020 in comparison to September 2019 are given below: • UK commercial layer chick placings were down 27% to 2.4 million chicks. (Table 2.3) • UK broiler chick placings were down 1.2 at 82.2 million chicks. (Table 2.3) • Turkey chick placings were down by 1.1% at 1.6 million chicks. (Table 2.3) • Turkey slaughterings were down 36% at 0.6 million birds. (Table 3.1) • UK broiler slaughterings were up 7.7% at 87 million birds. (Table 3.1) • Total UK poultry meat production were up 3.9% at 152.98 thousand tonnes. (Table 3.4) Section 1 – Commentary The number of eggs set each month indicates how many chicks will be available for placing into poultry systems in future months. Hen eggs take around 21 days to hatch, turkey eggs take around 28 days. The number of placed chicks each month indicates future volumes of poultry meat and egg production. Consumer demand strongly affects broiler chick and turkey poult placings. There are clear peaks (of turkeys) and troughs (of broilers) in the average weekly placings figures in the months running up to Christmas (Figs 2.1 and 2.2). This translates into equivalent high/low levels in the slaughtering volumes over the Christmas period (Figs 3.1 and 3.2). Section 2 – Numbers of eggs set and chicks placed by UK hatcheries This section contains tables and charts that indicate the number of eggs set and chicks placed by United Kingdom hatcheries in the most recent months.

  • Invention of the Technological Chicken’ in Britain
    gareth.jones Section name School of Management Democratizing luxury and the contentious ‘invention of the technological chicken’ in Britain by Andrew Godley 2007 054 Henley Business School University of Reading Whiteknights Reading RG6 6AA United Kingdom www.henley.reading.ac.uk Democratizing Luxury and the Contentious ‘Invention of the Technological Chicken’ in Britain1 ABSTRACT In 1950 poultry was a rare luxury in Britain, only one per cent of the total meat consumption. But over the next thirty years chicken consumption grew at the remarkable (compound) rate of 10 per cent per annum, while the overall consumption of meat remained stagnant from the 1950s to the 1980s. By then poultry had become the single most important source of meat, with a quarter of the total share of the market, replacing former favourites like beef, mutton and bacon in the British diet. This transformation was made possible by the emergence of intensive rearing in poultry farming. This was a dramatic change in production, dependent on technological innovations across several otherwise unrelated sectors: in pharmaceuticals and feedstuffs production, in refrigeration, slaughtering and packaging. The widespread distribution of cheap chicken led to its mass adoption throughout the country. But such a transformation in meat eating habits was not without its controversies. Contemporary concerns emerged from the late 1950s over the possible long term dangers to human health from the technological transformation inherent in intensive rearing regimes. The paper emphasises that it was the leading retailers, in particular J. Sainsbury, who acted as a key intermediary in this contested market, reconciling consumer uncertainty by attaching their own reputation to product quality, and then furthermore by intervening in the quality standards employed in its supply chain.

  • Antibiotic Use in the UK Poultry Sector
    Autumn 2016 Antibiotic use in the UK poultry sector Antibiotics are commonly used in the poultry industry for the treatment and prevention of respiratory diseases and other bacterial infections; often administered to groups of poultry via their drinking water. It remains legal within the EU for poultry producers to routinely mass-medicate flocks of birds with antibiotics - even when no disease has been diagnosed in any birds within the group (prophylactic use). Since 1 January 2012 the UK poultry meat industry has adopted voluntary measures proposed by the British Poultry Council on the use of antibiotics classed by the World Health Organisation as ‘critically important’ for human health: the modern cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones.i Since this time, the industry has phased out use of the modern cephalosporins completely and use of the fluoroquinolones for disease prevention (prophylaxis) in one-day-old chicks. UK poultry farmers continue to use fluoroquinolones in groups of adult birds, although significant reductions have been made to use of these antibiotics in 2015 compared with 2014 levels. One of the main uses of fluoroquinolones in poultry is for treatment and prevention of serious infections like septicaemia, gastroenteritis, respiratory diseases, and for mycoplasma infections including the highly infectious Mycoplasma Galliseptum (Gs). These antibiotics - important for treating serious human Campylobacter infections - may be added to the drinking water of flocks of poultry, when no disease is present in most of the birds in a flock. The only fluoroquinolone which is licensed for poultry in the UK is Enrofloxacin, with several other products licensed for use in poultry in other EU countries.

  • Volatility in Farming
    FG INSIGHT INTELLIGENCE GUIDE: VOLATILITY IN FARMING YOUR GUIDE TO Global price swings and why farmgate prices can so often be dictated by economic factors on the other side of the world INTRODUCTION Volatility has been one of the major buzz words of the farming industry in recent years. Whether running a dairy, livestock or arable unit, all farmers will need to know the month-to-month swings in price which can be a crucial factor affecting profitability. This guide takes a look at how the UK’s major farming sectors are changing to deal with a global food industry becoming continually more co-dependent and analyses what farmers can do to manage global risks within their own businesses. JOEL DURKIN BUSINESS AND DATA ANALYST CONTENTS 4 Arable markets 12 Dairy landscape 20 Beef sector 28 Global sheep trade 35 Potato pressures 41 UK pig industry 46 Poultry & hens 52 Views for the future ARABLE MARKETS 4 INTELLIGENCE GUIDE: VOLATILITY IN FARMING eldom is farm business discussed in person or in the media without the word ‘volatility’ appearing. The phrase is a key feature of almost every conference on agribusiness, as Sfarmers are told they must be aware of its dominance in dictating profits and returns. Discussed far less frequently is why volatility overhangs most business decisions and how farmers can deal with it. Arable markets, often viewed among the most globally traded of all food commodities, have experienced volatility for decades as a result of the global mixture of supply and demand, but the huge swings we now see in price have been present for about a decade, experts have claimed.

    Impact template (REF3a) Institution: Newcastle University Unit of Assessment: UoA 6 Agriculture, Food and Veterinary Science a. Context Our impacts result from our overarching research theme of ‘Food Security’ embracing food safety, nutrition and sustainability. This encompasses: (i) human and animal health and welfare; (ii) the economy (productivity gains relating to animal and crop health; understanding stakeholders’, including consumers’ behaviour; food chain performance; improved public health); commerce (spin out businesses Powerhouse, Geneius; technological development e.g. PigSafe pen design); (iii) production (changes in husbandry methods); (iv) the environment (mitigation of negative environmental impact, management and protection of natural resources); and (v) policy agenda setting. The Unit also makes significant impacts on governmental and public understandings of rural development (through generating intelligence on the farm and non-farm rural economy). Examples of beneficiaries include: 1) UK Government and International Agencies (e.g. Defra; Department of Health; FSA; European Food Safety Authority; Australian Dept. Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry, WHO and FAO). 2) Livestock, poultry and crop breeding organisations (e.g. KWS SAAT AG; British Wheat Breeders; Swiss Genetics; Syngenta; PIG/Genus; JSR; Aviagen; Inst. for Pig Genetics NL). 3) Animal and plant production and ancillary supply organisations (e.g. Nutreco; Novus Europe; BOCM; Elanco Animal Health; British Free Farrowing Farmers Consortium; Prairie Swine Centre (Canada); Danish Meat Council; Riverlea (Australia); Certification Bodies for farm assurance (e.g. Soil Association, Freedom Food; Red Tractor); divisions of the Agriculture & Horticulture Development Board (AHDB); British Poultry Council, British Egg Industry Council). 4) Food producers (e.g. Greggs; Kavli; Nestlé; PepsiCo; Sensus b.v; Moy Park; Tulip).
