quarta-feira, 16 de novembro de 2005 Bird Flu Special Report
24 October 2005 -
With the arrival of bird flu at Europe's eastern fringes and this weekend's
discovery of a dead parrot in the UK, the media is awash with speculation about
what may happen should human-to-human transmission of virus H5N1 occur.
But what is the
prognosis of the EU's poultry professionals and those directly concerned with
the current outbreak in Greece, Turkey and Romania? Feedinfo News Service has
spoken to the European poultry body, AVEC, and to industry players in Southeast
Europe in order to assess the situation on the ground, far from press reports of
mass culling and plummeting
sales.

Recent articles in the Thai press show that the country is enjoying growth in
terms of frozen and processed chicken exports and is reportedly not being
affected by bird flu, which has become a global crisis rather than just a
national 'Sword of Damocles'. Chantra Purnariksha, department director-general
of the Thai Export Promotion Department, expects exports of frozen and processed
chicken will increase 37.7% this year. From January to September 2005, exports

25 October 2005 -
The Thai Fishmeal Manufacturers Association is calling on the Thai government to
substitute powdered chicken in animal feed with locally-produced fishmeal, say
reports in the Bangkok business press. The TFMA says that using fish meal as an

segunda-feira, 24 de outubro de 2005 EU-25: Dairy Sector Overview in 2005
24 October 2005 -
With accession of the 10 New Member States (NMS) well behind us, EU dairy
markets are stabilizing again and lasting market dynamics become clearer. Milk
production is increasing in the Czech Republic, Lithuania and Poland, while in
some other NMS like Hungary, Slovenia and the Slovak Republic, which used to
have higher dairy subsidy levels, the sector still has difficulties to adapt to
the changed market conditions. Especially the Polish dairy processing sector
appears to be very efficient because of the large investments to upgrade the
sector to meet EU sanitary standards and because of the increase in milk
deliveries to the
industry

segunda-feira, 3 de outubro de 2005 Recovering Demand and Strong Trade Prospects Support High Meat Prices in 2005
03
October 2005 - Although recent new outbreaks of Avian Influenza (AI) extending
westwards from Asia into the Russian Federation are raising concerns over
potential disruption in the global meat industry sector, international meat
markets in the past few months were characterized by a strong recovery from the
previous wave of disruption caused by animal disease problems in 2004. An
increase in demand for meat, as consumption returned closer to normal levels,
and the reopening of many previously closed markets has put strong upward
pressure on international prices in the first half of
2005.
