Preparing for High Path Avian Influenza

In a small, non-descript building in Homer, Louisiana sits a laboratory that is instrumental in protecting the poultry industry in Louisiana. One such concern is the potential for High Path Avian Influenza (HPAI).

“For years we have conducted surveillance and have monitored

the poultry flocks here in Louisiana in an attempt to detect HPAI. However, in recent months, we have increased that surveillance. We are also conducting outreach programs with backyard enthusiasts and poultry growers,” said Dr. Michael Barrington, director of the Poultry Diagnostic Laboratory.

Several states including Iowa and Minnesota recently experienced outbreaks of avian influenza in their poultry flocks. In the past year, the outbreak killed 50 million birds. Experts call it one of the most severe outbreaks in the United States.

Barrington says the outbreaks all start out the same way. “Migratory birds, ducks and geese, are resistant to the virus and therefore seldom show any symptoms. They commingle in their northern breeding grounds sharing the viruses then fly south, landing on ponds, lakes and reservoirs where people, equipment and domestic fowl may be exposed to the virus. They winter further south, again mixing the different viruses they may have been exposed to during their time up north and repeat the same risk exposures to domestic fowl on their return trip.” Avian influenza is a respiratory disease that only affects birds. It is not a human disease; however, medical experts say there have been rare incidents of human exposure such as “pinkeye”, but no typical flu like symptoms.

The disease is under control in areas where it was present earlier this year, but local officials are not taking any chances in the event the

disease shows up in Louisiana. “Our department preparations for

HPAI began in March and continue today with our governmental, industry and public partners. We stand ready to respond in the event of an outbreak with our all hazards incident management team. So far, HPAI has not infiltrated our state; however, through outreach and training, we are working with growers and backyard enthusiasts to take steps to minimize the potential risks of this disease,” said Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain, D.V.M.

“The poultry industry contributes more than $2 billion to the state’s economy.”

The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) tests samples of birds every day before they go to market. If they get a positive sample for any disease, Barrington calls the grower to determine what symptoms other birds are showing. Then the diagnostic lab does additional tests to confirm HPAI or other diseases.

Barrington says HPAI does not affect geese that fly south but it is a deadly disease to chickens. “By the third or fourth day, you can have a house full of dead chickens.” Barrington added, “Once you diagnose it, you want to destroy

every bird in that house and shut it down. These birds would not hit the market. They would be disposed of.” Experts project that 500 flocks could be affected this year.

In Louisiana, there are three broiler processing companies with more than 300 contracted growers supplying them and two commercial table egg companies. In addition, there are hundreds of small backyard egg producers scattered across the state.”

“If they are showing these birds, they have to isolate them on their return from shows to be sure they were not exposed to disease and then bring it back to their other birds. There’s no sharing coops, crates and equipment with other exhibitors. The disease is spread through bird to bird contact and fecal matter,” said Barrington.

Officials say attention to bio-security measures will keep this disease from spreading. Prevention methods include:

Dissuading ducks and geese from landing in ponds near poultry locations.

Cleaning shoes/feet when walking in areas where there are ducks and geese.

Staying clean by having hand washing stations and changing clothes.

Mike StrainCommissioner

Each year begins with a new set of opportunities and challenges, but we always hope for good weather, healthy crops, and strong markets.

According to the 2015 Global Agricultural Productivity (GAP) report, the rate of per capita income is going to increase almost three times as fast in developing countries as in already developed countries (4.4 percent vs 1.7 percent).

With more disposable income, an increase in demand for meat, crops, fiber, energy and all types

of consumable products is certain to follow. Specifically, developing nations will need approximately 12 percent more dairy , 15 percent more cotton, 28 percent more coarse grains like corn, grain sorghum and soybeans, 24 percent more meat, 28 percent more poultry, and 32 percent more vegetable oils to meet their growing demands and populations.

Overall, by 2050, the global middle class is expected to double to 70 percent of the population. On top of that, the growing issue of climate change will be especially

challenging to the majority of agricultural production throughout the world. Today we utilize about 70 percent of all available fresh water. This will increase to more than 89 percent by 2050. At the same time, the urban population will rise to 2/3 of the world’s population with fewer people living and working in the rural areas.

With 95 percent of the world's consumers outside of the United States and the fact that more than 60 percent of the grains and a large portion of the proteins exported worldwide come from the United

States, we have an unprecedented opportunity ahead. Once oil prices and the value of the American dollar stabilize, the world economy will begin to recover and commodity prices will rise.

It is imperative now that we stay the course and become more efficient in production, transportation, processing and delivery of raw and value-added agricultural, forestry and aquaculture products. In doing so, we will be in the driver's seat and command a greater market share and profitability.

A Lafourche Parish man was arrested and charged with one count of theft of livestock for allegedly stealing two horses. The owner of the horses, Brian Charles, called the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry Livestock Brand Commission to report the horses were stolen.

In a joint investigation with the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office, it was determined that Timmy Hebert, who boarded the horses at 2914 Hwy. 182 in Raceland, La. sold the two horses to

registered livestock dealer Anton Wald in Kentwood for $500. Hebert allegedly told Wald he owned the horses because the original owner did not paid his boarding fee.

The owner of the horses, Charles, advised investigators there was no written agreement in place for the duration of boarding and no record of payment kept by Hebert.

Charles paid Wald $500 to retrieve his horses. The value of the horses is estimated at $10,000.

Lafourche Parish man arrested for livestock theft

BATON ROUGE, La. – Winter isn’t the time for gardeners to stop considering pollinators when they work in their gardens.

Gardeners start worrying about bees and other pollinators in the spring, when cucumbers, watermelon, cantaloupes and other cucurbit crops are planted, but they seldom look for pollinators this time of year, said LSU AgCenter fruit and vegetable specialist Kiki Fontenot.

The neglect occurs primarily because most fall vegetable crops are leafy greens that do not require a pollinator for production, she said. “Even though the fall garden doesn’t require pollinators, it doesn’t mean pollinators don’t need us.”

Residential and commercial developments are springing up in new locations across the state, and native prairies and forests are cleared for various purposes. The loss of habitat equates to the loss of blooming plants that feed pollinators.

“As generous as nature is to us, let’s consider giving back to nature this holiday season,” Fontenot said. Gardeners can do this by allowing a few of their broccoli plants go to seed.

“Not only will you have gorgeous yellow flowers that brighten the gloomy fall landscape, you’ll also feed the bees,” she said. “Bees flock to broccoli flowers in the wintertime, and it’s very pleasant to visit the garden and work to the tune of their hum.”

Consider this the gift that keeps on giving. “You’re feeding the bees now, and chances are they’ll return to the garden this spring when you need them to help produce the next crop,” Fontenot said.

If gardeners allow broccoli plants to go to flower, they should avoid using pesticides in the garden, she said. “If you absolutely need to use pesticides, apply them at dusk when most bees are returning to the hive.”

Don’t overlook pollinators in winter gardens


LAKE CHARLES, La. – With crawfish season starting, experts with the LSU AgCenter and Louisiana Sea Grant offered advice Tuesday (Dec. 15) for producers to improve their harvests.

Two dozen producers attended the event at the Calcasieu Parish AgCenter extension office.

Kevin Savoie, AgCenter and Sea Grant agent in Cameron Parish, said recent warm weather has been good for the start of crawfish season.

“Things really look good right now,” he said.Greg Lutz, an aquaculture specialist with the LSU AgCenter

and Louisiana Sea Grant, said checking the oxygen level in pond water is essential for creating an environment for a good crop. He asked for a show of hands of those who monitor the amount of oxygen in their crawfish ponds, but no one responded.

“I’m just going to say this: You can’t control something you don’t measure,” he said. “That’s probably the single thing you can do to make money.”

Lutz compared failing to monitor and maintain oxygen levels to not fertilizing a rice field. “If you’re not managing your oxygen, you might as well go on vacation,” he said.

Adding oxygenated water to a pond with good oxygen levels is a waste of money, he said, and failing to pump oxygenated water into a pond with low oxygen will result in fewer crawfish.

An inexpensive testing kit can be used every two to three

days in the fall, he said.Planting vegetation for crawfish too early in June results in

depleted oxygen early in the crawfish season as the vegetation will already be mature by early autumn, Lutz said.

Warmer water holds less oxygen. For example, Lutz said, water that is 80 degrees loses oxygen twice as fast as 70-degree water.

A mechanical aerator such as those used in catfish ponds probably isn’t worth the expense, he said. The simpler, cheaper method of adding oxygen is pumping water over a simple tower structure to break the water flow into droplets, with the potential to add 3-3.5 parts per million of oxygen.

Stocking should be done with females that have advanced eggs. The size of stocker crawfish does not matter, he said, because environment, not genetics, determines size.

Flooding too early also will result in rapid breakdown of vegetation, much of which won’t last into the late season, he said.

AgCenter crawfish researcher Ray McClain said harvesting is the most costly operating expense of a crawfish operation.

A study at the LSU AgCenter H. Rouse Caffey Rice Research Station in Crowley showed that only half of the crawfish released for further growth after being caught were ever captured again.

He said it’s best to remove crawfish that are captured, regardless of size.

Low crawfish populations need fewer traps, he said,

probably 10-14 per acre, while high crawfish populations can justify 16-20 traps an acre.

Traps can be run every 48 hours in cool weather, but that can be increased to every 24 hours in warm weather when the catch is good. In exceptionally warm weather with a high catch rate, traps can be checked every 12 hours but only for a few days, McClain said.

McClain also advised against throwing bait that’s several days old into the pond because the food could attract crawfish away from traps.

He said deep water isn’t needed for crawfish, but water levels should be deep enough to discourage wading birds from feeding on crawfish. High water will lead to earlier vegetation loss, he said, but some depth is needed to act as a buffer from cold temperatures.

More producers who also grow rice are switching to push boats because they don’t rut the fields like hydraulic boats, but the non-mechanized push boats are still used by farmers who have the equipment to refurbish the pond bottom.

Persistent low oxygen early in the season could result in death of young crawfish, McClain said. “If you lose that early recruitment class, you’re not going to catch many early in the season, and you may not catch much until March or April.”

Lutz urged producers to call AgCenter agents for help if crawfish start dying. “If you see crawfish dying, get on the phone and get some help,” he said. “You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.”
