Vaccination debate: Protecting poultry from the bird flu

Feedstuffs in Focus

Avian influenza has hit Hickman's Family Farm in Arizona, wiping out 6 million egg-laying hens and forcing hundreds of layoffs. But as Glenn Hickman and veterinarian Dr. Kay Russo reveal, this devastating loss might have been preventable.The current H5N1 virus has evolved in an unprecedented way, jumping from birds to dairy cattle and even back to poultry operations. This complex transmission pattern has created a perfect storm for egg producers, with 28 million of last year's 39 million layer hen losses directly linked to spillover from dairy infections. The result? Americans paid a staggering $11 billion in higher egg prices while taxpayers spent an additional billion on cleanup efforts.At the heart of this crisis lies a contentious debate between science and trade policy. Egg producers advocate strongly for vaccination, pointing to France's successful program that reduced outbreaks by 90%. Meanwhile, the broiler chicken industry, which exports $4-6 billion annually, resists vaccination due to potential trade repercussions. This standoff continues despite available vaccines that wouldn't affect egg quality or food safety."We need to put the politics aside and come up with solutions that allow us to continue to feed people economically," urges Hickman, whose operation faces a 20-month recovery timeline. With empty egg shelves affecting families and food banks nationwide, the question becomes increasingly urgent: should protecting trade agreements take precedence over ensuring a stable domestic food supply?As fall migration approaches—traditionally a high-risk period for avian influenza—producers anxiously await guidance from USDA on vaccination protocols. The clock is ticking on a crisis that threatens not just individual farms, but America's food security itself.This episode is brought to you by United Animal Health.

Breeding isn't just about producing beautiful birds—it's a long-term, science-driven commitment that demands grit, knowledge, and emotional resilience. In Episode 253, host Kenny Troiano is joined by Nancy Troiano and Frank Bradley to shine a light on the often-ignored realities of chicken and gamefowl breeding. This episode takes a no-nonsense look at the hard truths every aspiring breeder must face—from the misunderstood role of inbreeding to the burden of culling. The hosts explore the science behind genetics, the dangers of misinformation, and the critical importance of selection, testing, and long-term planning. You'll learn: Why inbreeding, when done right, is a cornerstone of building true strains How excessive crossbreeding and hybrid vigor myths derail your program The importance of understanding monogenic vs. polygenic traits Why culling isn't cruelty, but a breeder's responsibility How overusing medications and supplements can weaken your bloodline The hidden influence of mitochondrial DNA and prepotency How to spot and manage conformation and structural defects Plus, the team tackles false authorities, "miracle solutions," and other pitfalls that prey on newcomers. Whether you're just starting or refining your line, this episode is your wake-up call to the real work behind successful breeding. Forget shortcuts—this is about discipline, science, and dedication. Key Takeaways: Breeding is not for the faint of heart—it's for those committed to lifelong learning. Misconceptions and poor practices are rampant; science and mentorship are your best allies.
