In this episode, we are talking with Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo about the practice and importance of biosecurity. Most Breeders don't understand biosecurity and the importance of keeping your bird safe from the exposure of disease. Some of us have strains that we've been keeping for over 30 years. Losing our birds to disease would be a travesty. What we are going to talk about today, if you follow it, will save your flock, and protect those valuable and irreplaceable strains. There's a lot of good information packed into this episode that I know you do not want to miss.  This episode is packed with great information, and one you do not want to miss. I know you will enjoy this episode, and learn a lot too. We specialize in the breeding of gamefowl and chickens, and other breeding related topics. This includes the proper use of breeding programs. Also, it's our mission to provide our members a greater understanding of poultry genetics, poultry health care and disease prevention, and how to improve the production and performance ability of their fowl.

The title says it all. The Name Game has been used for many decades, and for many reasons, but we are never going to improve our fowl, or the breeders who breed them, until we stop using old names of strains that don't exist anymore. It's also a big reason why many breeders play the Percentage Game.  They use the Name Game and Percentage Game to place greater value to birds that no longer represent their breed. The sad truth is, it's turning a great breed into nothing more than a mongrel breed.  The Name Game and the Percentage Game is a peddler's playground, and it's holding back many Breeders, especially our beginners. The big question is, what can we do about it?  Join us as we talk about this very controversial subject, and discuss issues, and hopefully come up with ways to reverse this trend.  This episode is packed with great information, and one you do not want to miss.

Since Hurricane Idalia hit Florida, the livestock body count is climbing higher, especially in poultry operations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Beef production has been restricted for months now and this doesn't seem like it's going to change. The traditional holiday spread seems to be starting early this year. Strip loins are the bargain on middle meats. Poultry pricing continues higher as well, with a potential for more upside on wings. One week of corn below $5 was all we got. Large crop expectations in grains should keep these markets in check. Pork belly pricing is up from last week, but still reasonable. If you need bacon, buy it. Butts, loins, and hams make moves higher as well.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Dr. Christine Alvarado of Prosur Inc. outlines the inherent challenges poultry processors face producing raw and cooked products when it comes to the inevitable pathogens that are present inside their plants. She also notes the advances in cleaning processes and other equipment in plants and describes the status of regulatory agencies and their practices when it comes to ensuring food safety in poultry products.

Breeding and creating a strain is governed by 3 important laws, such as the environment, nutrition, and the traits they inherit. In other words, genetics. However, just the idea of genetics can be intimidating for many new breeders, and some veteran as well. Many even avoid genetics, mostly because it can seem confusing and difficult to understand, and they don't know how to use it in their breeding programs. It is my hope that we can show you, not only why genetic is important, but also how to use it in the improvement and creation of your strains. Once you understand the basics, many other topics concerning breeding will become clearer.   This episode is packed with great information, and one you do not want to miss.

Year to date, beef harvest is down 4.2% and this will continue into 2024. It's a tough time to buy beef with prices moving up in almost every category. Poultry prices continue higher again for next week as well. We've almost gone a month with no new Avian Flu cases reported. Corn has finally fallen, which is good news for everyone in the food business. Pork bellies closed at $114 this week which is $52 down from last week. It's buying time again. Butts, loins, and ribs are all great options too. Pork is a good buy in protein. The dairy market is back at it with a few moves higher.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Isaac Detty is just beginning his sophomore year of high school and his second year of FFA, but you wouldn't know it from the complexity and number of SAE's that he has.  When he is not collecting eggs to sell or feeding his meat birds for his meat chicken business, he is busy working with food that has already been grown but not consumed. In addition to Isaac's entrepreneurial ventures, he has a benevolent venture taking food that would otherwise go to waste, like bananas, and turning them into something that will result in them being consumed and not thrown out.  On the top of the pyramid is making something like banana bread or dehydrating the bananas.  On the other end, the food is fed to chickens or livestock that will consume it, or it is being composted.  Either way, the food is not being wasted by sending it to the landfill. Isaac is able to identify the multiple positive benefits that looking at food in this manner have.  For example, when they are dehydrating bananas, it give the food science class at his high school a project to work on that is right in line with what they are studying.  It is thinking like this that led Isaac to be awarded a $1,000 SAE Grant in 2022, which he will be applying for again this fall.

In this episode of Bred to Perfection, we are talking about the various methods of breeding that exist, and the difference between breeding methods and breeding programs. Ask yourself, are you using the right method of breeding for the right purpose? If not, this episode is for you.  Many breeders are not only selecting their brood fowl improperly, but they're using the wrong breeding methods, at the wrong time. Their results are never what they expected, or they are short lived.  Learn which methods to use and when, and why it's best to use a breeding program, that consist of various breeding methods, then one method all the time.  If you would like to learn more about breeding methods, breeding programs, and the Founders Program, Join us at the Breeders Academy.  I know you will enjoy this episode, and learn a lot too.

Restricted beef production levels are having the desired effect. Pretty much every category is moving higher. Hopefully, after Labor Day, this market will settle down. Buy what you need now, next week will be more money. Chicken pricing is up on wings, breasts, and tenders. Chicken is still a good protein value, but buy what you need now. This market will continue to go up. For some good news, there are no new Avian Flu cases to report. Grains are moving down this week and things are looking okay there. Pork bellies continue to drop with better pricing on the way. Butts and ribs are still a great value.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Guests: Emmillie Boot and Dr. Ramon Malheiros, North Carolina State University; Catherine Fudge, University of Georgia; Dr. Lisa Bielke, North Carolina State University; Kyle Venter, University of Pretoria; Letecia Orellana Galindo, Auburn University; and Dr. Ken Bielke, Mississippi State University; Dr. Benjamin Franklin, Philadelphia, PA; Cara Cash and Dr. Giri Athrey, Texas A&M University.Today's episode was filmed at the 2023 Poultry Science Association Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, PA and is the second podcast of two from PSA. Balchem's technical team chose abstracts of interest from the meeting and those researchers are our guests today. We kick off the show with Emmillie Boot and Dr. Ramon Malheiros from North Carolina State University. Emmillie's research compared bell drinkers and gender-specific (different lines for roosters and hens) nipple-type drinkers for broiler breeders. She looked at the differences between egg production, egg fertility, and rooster fertility between nipple drinker lines and bell drinker lines. The major takeaway was that egg fertility was higher in the nipple drinker lines at the end of the flock cycle. (01:46)Emmillie's abstract is titled: “Comparison of bell drinkers and gender-specific nipple type drinkers, without catch cups, on broiler breeder fertility and egg production”Our next guest is Catherine Fudge from the University of Georgia. Catherine is working to develop a histomoniasis infectious model for broiler breeders. Her lab is an Extension lab and a grower made an interesting observation that whenever he would place cedar shavings in his house, he noticed a drop in his insect population, and insects carry histomoniasis into chicken or turkey houses by way of a vector. Catherine began to evaluate this via benchtop experiments investigating the ability of cedar shavings and cedar extract to repel darkling beetles. (07:20)Catherine's abstract is titled: “Evaluation of cedar products against Histomonas meleagridis in vitro”Next up is Dr. Lisa Bielke from North Carolina State University. Dr. Bielke presented research about the use of feed additives such as probiotics, symbiotics, organic acids, or essential oils as a way to prevent disease in poultry with the result being less antibiotic use. She emphasized that if birds are sick, and antibiotics are needed, then the birds should be treated with antibiotics, but that prevention is also key to bird health. (15:18)Lisa's abstract is titled: “Role of Feed Additives for Improving Health and Controlling Disease in Poultry”Our fourth guest is Kyle Venter from the University of Pretoria. His research focuses on reducing dependence on rock phosphate by improving the digestibility of phosphorus in feed ingredients. Kyle pointed out that once phosphorus digestibility has been maximized from the diet, then one should formulate to the bird's actual calcium and phosphorus requirements on a digestible basis, rather than using a total calcium, available phosphorus system. (23:12)Kyle's abstract is titled: “Evaluating the efficacy of three commercial phytase enzymes based on broiler performance and production economics” Next in the lineup are Leticia Orellana Galindo from Auburn University, and Dr. Ken Bielke from Mississippi State University. Their research evaluates egg translucency and color intensity with egg quality parameters. Hatchability is a major issue in the broiler industry and previous research found that less translucent eggs had higher hatchability and darker color intensity eggs also had higher hatchability. In this abstract, Leticia evaluated the relationship between translucency and color intensity with internal and external egg quality parameters. (31:05)Letecia's abstract is titled: “Relationship between eggshell translucency and color intensity with egg quality parameters on broiler eggs”When in Philadelphia, what better guest to have than Dr. Benjamin Franklin? Ben tells us about his scientific research regarding electricity and lightning and gives a perspective on agriculture in his day. (45:23)Our final guests are Cara Cash and Dr. Giri Athrey from Texas A&M University. Cara's research is data analysis based and she modeled the impact that decreasing broiler breeder fertility could have on broiler production, the climate, and the economy. Her model predicts that declining fertility could result in large increases in the amount of feed required for broiler production and the amount of greenhouse gasses created by broiler production.

There is a lot of confusion in this area of breeding. So much so, that many breeders are not able to produce high quality strains. They purchase birds from a reputable breeder, and are confused when the fowl they produce are not like the original breeder's fowl.  We've all seen it, strains change when they are moved to a different location. The question is, are these changes temporary or permanent? And, what can we do about it? The environment can have a direct effect on the phenotype of your strain. For example, nutrition can affect growth and development, disease can weaken the strain and kill important individuals, and poor management can cause disease and stress. But, none of these factors will have a direct effect on the strains genotype.  This is an important concept, we cannot select properly, their form, function or beauty if we are not seeing their true value and potential. They may appear “better or worse” than their true genetic value, depending on whether they receive a favorable or unfavorable environment.  This episode is packed with great information, and one you do not want to miss. I know you will enjoy this episode, and learn a lot too. We also took questions from the chat room.  We specialize in the breeding of gamefowl and chickens, and other breeding related topics. This includes the proper use of breeding programs. Also, it's our mission to provide our members a greater understanding of poultry genetics, poultry health care and disease prevention, and how to improve the production and performance ability of their fowl.

Beef production continued with another light week which keeps product tight and pricing steady to moving higher. We could see a change in this after Labor Day. It's a buy-what-you-need situation, but you may find a deal out there. For chicken, it's another week of pricing moving higher on wings, breasts, and tenders. Even with increased prices, chicken is still a great protein value. No new Avian Flu cases were reported this week. It was a good week for grain markets, as all are moving lower. Pork bellies closed lower this week and it looks like we have a good bit more movement lower. Wait to buy bacon if you can.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Guests:  Andy Vance, PSA; Dr. John Halley, J. Halley Poultry Consulting; Addison Elstner, Texas A&M University; Dr. Chasity Pender, DSM Nutritional Products; Dr. Valentina Caputi, USDA-ARS Poultry Production and Product Safety Research Unit; and Dimitri Malheiros and Dr. Ken Anderson, North Carolina State UniversityToday's episode was filmed at the 2023 Poultry Science Association Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, PA. Balchem's technical team chose abstracts of interest from the meeting and those researchers are our guests today. We kick off the show with Andy Vance, Executive Director of the Poultry Science Association. Andy speaks to the growth of the conference, the presentations and attendance and reinforces that the Poultry Science Association exists to advance science in the poultry industry. (01:20)Our second guest is Dr. John Halley with J. Halley Poultry Consulting. John conducted an industry survey about how companies handle data. Are companies digitizing data or just staying with what they've been doing? John's presentation covered how data flows through poultry companies today, as well as where we may be going in the future. (05:56)John's abstract was titled: “Current Data Insights and Practices for a Poultry Nutritionist”Next on the guest roster is Addison Elstner from Texas A&M University. Addison's research objective was to use a different basal diet than traditional corn and soy to stress birds with high inclusions of other cereal grains. This effort was to create a preliminary model of different cereal diets and their impact on intestinal health, performance and animal welfare. This preliminary work builds a foundation for the addition of feed additives and enzymes to those nontraditional diets in the future. (12:04)Addison's abstract was titled: “Phase ingredients change in the diet formulation as a possible model to test feed additive efficacy in broiler chickens” Our fourth guest is Dr. Chasity Pender from DSM Nutritional Products. Her abstract presented data compiled over the past year for vitamin A recovery levels. The DSM internal laboratory had samples of broiler, broiler breeder vitamin premixes, and broiler and broiler breeder feeds. With those samples, they measured vitamin A recovery levels and evaluated the variation in the different feedstuffs. (15:09)Chastity's abstract was titled: “Evaluation of Vitamin A Recoveries in Broiler and Broiler Breeder Premixes and Finished Feeds”The next guest in our lineup is Dr. Valentina Caputi with the USDA-ARS Poultry Production and Product Safety Research Unit in Fayetteville, Arkansas.The main objective of her research is to look for alternatives to antibiotics to fight the carriage of foodborne pathogens in the poultry industry. Dr. Caputi's specific expertise is the study of the enteric nervous system, which is the nervous system that is intrinsic on the gut wall and is distributed throughout the overall gastrointestinal tract. Her abstract evaluated how heat stress during the pre-harvest stage of poultry production affects the enteric nervous system, the intestinal microbiota, and overall gut health and how this can predispose the animal to be susceptible to colonization by a food pathogen, such as salmonella or campylobacter. (21:34)Valentina's abstract was titled: “Heat stress induces regional-dependent modulation of aquaporin 4 expression in the enteric nervous system of broiler chickens”Lastly, we are joined by Dimitri Malheiros and Dr. Ken Anderson, from North Carolina State University. Dimitri's research assessed cage densities during the pullet rearing phase. While other previous studies focused on increased stocking densities, Dimitri and Dr. Anderson wanted to focus on lower stocking densities to evaluate if pullet welfare would be improved in less dense cages. (32:42)Dimitri's abstract was titled: “Influence of cage rearing density on pullet growth parameters and fearfulness.”Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss the additional highlights from the 2023 Poultry Science Association Annual Meeting in future podcast episodes. If you want one of our new Real Science Exchange t-shirts, screenshot your rating, review, or subscription, and email a picture to anh.marketing@balchem.com.

Poultry prices continue to rise on all cuts and categories in the chicken world. Demand for fresh chicken is increasing as well. There is still value here but look for continued increases in chicken. For the third week in a row, one new Avian Flu report from the same county in NY affects 800 birds. Beef production continues lower keeping any price reductions from happening during this season of weak demand. Better weather forecasts and rain have helped corn to close lower this week. Soy has stabilized and wheat is moving down. Pretty much the whole pork complex is moving lower and will probably continue that way for the next few weeks. Buy what you need, but waiting should save you money. Dairy has finally stopped the hard and fast increases from the last few weeks.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Hot, summer weather is slowing down production on beef and chicken, making prices inch higher in most circumstances. There are not many bargains to be had in beef, but waiting to buy will cost you money. Chicken is still a good value in protein, but we are seeing a steady move higher. Another Avian Flu report was made in the same county in New York with 490 more birds infected. Still the only new cases since May, but something to keep an eye on. Corn is down from last week, and soy is finally seeing an end to the several weeks' climb. Wheat is holding steady. Pork bellies closed just a dollar up from last week at $215. Butts continue to decline, and loins and ribs continue to offer real value. Dairy markets are up again this week, but are hopefully losing a bit of steam.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

In this episode of Bred to Perfection Live, we will discuss sublines, and why they are so important for the creation and improvement of your strain.  We have mentioned sublines in our podcasts many times, but we still get questions about sublines and why they are so important. Let's see if we can shed some light on this very important practice.  The use of sublines can be the difference between a successful strain and one that never reaches its potential. It also separates the true Master Breeders from the beginners, or novice breeders. Not only does a Master Breeder understand the value of using a subline, it shows you their level of knowledge and experience as a breeder. While beginners tend to avoid the use of sublines, or they don't know about sublines, Master Breeders will use it at every opportunity. A good breeder will have a foundation strain, but he will also have a number of sublines running parallel with his foundation line. This is a show you do not want to miss! We specialize in the breeding of gamefowl and chickens, and other breeding related topics. This includes the proper use of breeding programs. Also, it's our mission to provide our members a greater understanding of poultry genetics, poultry health care and disease prevention, and how to improve the production and performance ability of their fowl. If you are interested in creating a strain, or improving your established strain, you are going to enjoy this show.  We also want to encourage you to join us at “The Breeders Academy,” where we will not only help you increase your knowledge of breeding, advance your skills as a breeder, but improve the quality and performance of your fowl.

Tight supplies and inflated prices in beef will be an ongoing issue. For next week, a few lower middle meats, again not big moves but moving lower. Grinds, chucks, and rounds are holding up. One more week of buy what you need, but next week should see better pricing. Chicken remains the value in proteins., with strong production numbers and prices just inching up. Sadly, on Tuesday we had the first reported Avian Flu case since May 18th. 660 birds in New York. There is a lot of action in grains with tension in Russia and Ukraine, drought concerns, and prices on everything moving higher. Bellies closed at $214, butts continue lower, and ribs and loins are a great deal. Dairy markets are moving up like a rocket.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

There's a lot of confusion in this area. I see so many breeders calling their Foundation Fowl “Seed Fowl”, and calling their Seed Fowl “Foundation Fowl.” To make matters worse, they skip any and all regards or reference to the stage in the middle, the Transitional Stage, which I call my Transitional Fowl. It is my hope that by clearing up the description and meaning of the three stages, you will better understand their function and purpose throughout your breeding program. This is a show you do not want to miss! We specialize in the breeding of gamefowl and chickens, and other breeding related topics. This includes the proper use of breeding programs. Also, it's our mission to provide our members a greater understanding of poultry genetics, poultry health care and disease prevention, and how to improve the production and performance ability of their fowl.

The beef market continues to slowly move lower on middle meats, thin meats, chucks, and rounds. Ground beef holds steady. Buy product if you need it, but waiting a week may save you money. Chicken production continues strong and prices are moving higher in wings and breasts. Tenders are moving a little lower. We have gone over two months with no new Avian Flu cases reported. Grains are seeing a ton of action with prices going up on everything. Pork bellies are up $35 from last week. Butts are moving lower and loins are just a little higher but still a great value. The dairy market continues to rise with more upside to come.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Productive Energy, also known as Arkansas NE, is a way of more efficiently influencing performance, breast meat yield and even the economics and sustainability of broiler production, say  researchers.It is thought to be the only energy system that can significantly predict the feed conversion ratio and feed intake for broilers. It's a way of looking at what happens in the bird in terms of body composition.Research is underway at the University of Arkansas looking at the area of productive energy, and to date they have found very interesting results that indicated perhaps a change may be needed in how broiler diets are formulated. Joining us from the Poultry Science Assn annual meeting in Philadelphia is Diego Martinez from University of Arkansas. Martinez is Program Associate in Dr. Craig Coon's poultry nutrition lab at the University of Arkansas.This episode is sponsored by United Animal Health, a leader in animal health and nutrition.
