A researcher at Lethbridge Polytechnic is taking aim at bacterial threats in poultry farming. Dr. Sophie Kernéis, microbial research lead at the school, has received an $80,000 grant from the Egg Farmers of Canada to explore phytobiotics, plant-based compounds with antibiotic properties. The goal? To fight Avian Pathogenic E. Coli or APEC. APEC is one of the leading bacterial causes of mortality and morbidity in poultry. It results in millions of chicken deaths and an estimated $10 to $50 million in cost each year. The bacteria can also lead to reduced growth in chickens, representing less meat per chicken and egg production. Dr. Kernéis began her work in 2016 by creating a library of plant extracts to identify those with antibiotic potential. Her team has built an extensive library of plant extracts, testing roughing 150 varieties. The research has already identified a couple of promising plants capable of controlling E. coli and other harmful bacteria. "E. coli is one of their main problems, and so I'm focusing on this bacteria," says Dr. Kernéis. "But there are many other bacteria that can be also addressed."

It also highlights the importance of consumer support and awareness in maintaining the stability of the egg industry.TakeawaysAvian influenza is a highly contagious viral disease that affects birds and is spread through wild birds.The egg industry in Australia produces about 18.3 million eggs per day, with the majority coming from Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria.In the event of an avian influenza outbreak, affected farms are quarantined, and the birds are destroyed to prevent the spread of the virus.Farmers can receive compensation for the loss of birds and the impact on their business, but the process of recovery can take several months.Consumers can support the egg industry by continuing to purchase and consume eggs, while also practicing good biosecurity measures if they own backyard hens.Some supply chain impacts have been felt and supermarkets and restaurant chains have taken measures to manage their supply to customers.

Some supermarkets are now limiting how many eggs customers can buy, while others import eggs from the rest of Europe. According to the RSPB's annual bird crime report, there were 108 confirmed incidents of persecution of birds of prey recorded in 2021, and more than two thirds were connected to land managed for gamebirds.

Deconstructing Dinner

Over the past month, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (the CFIA) has embarked on a concentrated effort in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia, threatening area businesses with fines unless they remove their ungraded farm-fresh eggs from store shelves. Close to a dozen businesses that Deconstructing Dinner is aware of have received such a visit This episode hears from a number of those businesses including comments on the issue from the BC Egg Marketing Board, the CFIA and the regional health authority Interior Health. While the availability of eggs from local farms in the region has been significantly curtailed following this "crack" down on local eggs, the increasingly popular alternative to store-bought eggs (backyard eggs) is too being met with a crack down of its own. In December 2009, Nelson B.C. resident Monica Nissen was paid a visit by a local bylaw enforcement officer who demanded that Nissen remove her chickens from her backyard, or too face a fine and the possible confiscation of her birds. The City's bylaw enforcement officer was acting on two supposed complaints... and we say "supposed" because according to all of Nissen's immediate neighbours, none of them took issue with the chickens... leaving Nissen and Deconstructing Dinner wondering just what constitutes a valid complaint if it clearly didn't come from an immediate neighbour? We'll also be joined by Nelson city councillor Kim Charlesworth, who recounts the past year's efforts to revise the local bylaw that prohibits backyard chickens within city limits and we'll hear from Ian Fraser - a senior animal control officer for Victoria Animal Control Services - a city that does permit backyard chickens and hence, backyard eggs. Join us for this important broadcast as we explore what Kootenay businesses and residents are calling an afront to food sovereignty following these latest efforts by local and federal authorities who appear determined to ensure that the only eggs easily accessible to Canadians are the factory-farmed options. Guests/Voices Kevin Smith, farmer/baker, Old World Bakery (Balfour, BC) - The Old World Bakery produces a line of baked goods for their own retail customers and many local businesses. Kevin Smith and his wife Darla also farm in the community of Ainsworth. Bonny Kavalov, co-owner, Nature's Den (Rossland, BC) - Bonny and her husband Sid operate this small health store in Rossland, BC. Wayne Popoff, owner, Kootenay Liquidators (Castlegar, BC) - Wayne is a hobby farmer just outside of Castlegar and operates a store that sells feed products and farm-fresh eggs among other things. Amyn Alibhai, board member, BC Egg Marketing Board (Kamloops, BC) - Since its inception in 1967 as the first egg marketing board in Canada with quota, the British Columbia Egg Marketing Board (BCEMB) serves as a non-profit, producer organization financed solely by its Registered Producers through a levy system. The BCEMB is one of eleven provincial and territorial egg marketing boards that meet under the umbrella of the Egg Farmers of Canada (EFC) to address industry issues of regional, national and international importance. Amyn owns Sunshine Eggs - a large producer of graded eggs. Deanna Zgrablic, food processing specialist inspector , Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) (Abbotsford, BC) - The CFIA is Canada's government agency which seeks to "safeguard food, animals and plants, which enhance the health and well-being of Canada's people, environment and economy".
