ATLANTA — The fourth week in Janu-ary was recently proclaimed Poultry Week by Governor Nathan Deal of Georgia. The proclamation was in recognition of the International Poultry Expo’s continu-ous years of exhibiting in Atlanta, Ga., as well as in recognition of helping advance the poultry industry and contributing to the economic well-being of the State of Georgia.

The International Poultry Expo will have exhibited for 64 continuous years with the upcoming 2012 IPE. The International Poultry Expo ranks as the largest annual trade show at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. The Expo brings approximately 21,000 attendees to Atlanta in January each year, and the es-timated economic impact of IPE for Atlanta is around $23 million annually.

The proclamation was presented to Tom Hensley, president of Fieldale Farms, and John Starkey, president of the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association. USPOULTRY sponsors the Inter-national Poultry Expo every year.

WASHINGTON — The National Chicken Council has be-come a member of the Coalition for U.S.-Russia Trade, a broad-based group of U.S. companies and trade associations representing all major sectors of the U.S. economy.

The coalition supports stronger U.S.-Russian economic ties and, specifically, Russia’s accession to the World Trade Or-ganization.

NCC noted that for U.S. companies to benefit from Russia’s accession to the WTO, which was recently adopted, it will be necessary for Congress to lift the Jackson-Vanik amendment with respect to Russia and authorize the president to extend Permanent Normal Trade Relations to Russia.

NCC and the coalition will work closely with the office of the U.S. Trade Representative, USDA and Congress to help ensure the negotiated access for the chicken industry’s prod-ucts to Russia.

POULTRY TIMES, December 19, 2011 3


UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Pennsylvania State Univer-sity recently received a student recruiting grant from the US-POULTRY Foundation.

James Adams, alumni of Penn State and treasurer for the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association board of directors, presented a check in the amount of $7,000 to Phillip Clauer, senior instructor, coor-dinator of Pennsylvania Poultry Youth Programs and co-advisor for the Penn State Poultry Sci-ence Club, and Dr. Robert Elkin, professor and head of the Poul-try Science Department at Penn State University.

The USPOULTRY Foundation board recently approved student recruiting grants totaling more than $180,000 to the six U.S. universities with poultry science departments and 14 other insti-tutions with poultry programs. The foundation provides annual recruiting funds to colleges and universities to attract students to their poultry programs.

“Penn State University would like to thank the USPOULTRY Foundation for its continued funding. We have had back-to-back freshman classes with nine to 10 poultry students. The foun-dation’s support for our youth

program has had a lot to do with our ability to continue bringing in good students,” Clauer said.

“It is vital that we continue to attract sharp, young people to study for careers in the poultry industry. We need bright, young managers to join our companies today, as they will eventually be

the leaders of tomorrow. US-POULTRY Foundation recruit-ing grants play an important role in encouraging students to enroll in poultry studies,” Adams said.

ATLANTA — The Internation-al Poultry Expo and International Feed Expo is the worldwide, pre-mier exposition for the poultry and feed industries. Poultry and feed industry leaders from throughout the United States and around the globe gather in Atlanta each year to

see the world’s largest display of equipment, supplies, and services and to stay informed on important issues affect-ing the indus-try. It is the one location where pur-chasing deci-

sion makers can view emerging technology and new innovations for all segments of the poultry and feed industry.

The IPE/IFE is co-sponsored by the U.S.Poultry & Egg Association and the American Feed Industry Association. The 2012 Expo will be held Tuesday through Thursday, Jan. 24-26, at the Georgia World Congress Center.

Although the Expo is the in-dustry’s premier trade show, the week of the Expo will feature the most extensive schedule of educa-tion programs ever. The week of the Expo has been officially pro-claimed “Poultry Week” by Gov. Nathan Deal of Georgia, with an

emphasis on educational programs rounding out the week-long event. As they have for some time, the International Poultry Scientific Forum and the Animal Agriculture Sustainability Summit will start the week off on Monday and Tuesday. These programs are followed by the Pet Food Conference on Tuesday and the Hatchery-Breeder Clinic on Tuesday and Wednesday.

New for 2012 are five new edu-cational programs: Charting the Course: An Executive Conference on the Future of the American Poul-try Industry; Charting the Course: An Executive Conference on the Future of the American Egg Indus-try; IPE Pre-Harvest Food Safety Conference; International Ren-dering Symposium; and a Poultry Leaders of the Future: Managerial Basics Workshop.

Both of the Charting the Course programs will be held on Wednes-day, with the American egg indus-try portion being co-sponsored by USPOULTRY and the United Egg Producers. The IPE Pre-Harvest Food Safety Conference will be held on Wednesday and Thursday and is co-sponsored by USPOUL-TRY, the the North American Meat Processors Association, National Chicken Council, Auburn Univer-sity and the University of Georgia. Sessions on Thursday and Friday include the International Render-ing Symposium, co-sponsored by the National Renderers Association and USPOULTRY, and Poultry Leaders of the Future: Managerial Basics, a new program sponsored

by USPOULTRY. In addition, IPE’s educational offerings include collaboration with the University of Georgia on its International Poultry Short Course and Poultry Process-ing Spanish Course. Both courses will be held immediately after the Expo, Jan. 27-Feb. 1, and will in-clude free admission to IPE/IFE 2012.

We are pleased to again offer the Members to Atlanta (M2A) program. It waives the registration fee, through online pre-registration before Jan. 8, for member firms of USPOULTRY and AFIA engaged in the production of poultry, egg and feed products. M2A is sup-ported through the sponsorship of elite exhibiting companies: Agran-co Corp. USA, Alaso, Alltech, Aviagen, Ceva, Cobb-Vantress, Diamond V Mills, DSM, ISI-In-cubator Supply, Jamesway, Marel Stork Poultry Processing, Mosaic and Pfizer Poultry Health. We are grateful to these firms for their sup-port of M2A.

The annual College Student Ca-reer Program attracts more than 300 graduating students from 25 uni-versities throughout the nation. In-dustry and allied firms conduct job and internship interviews with the students during all three days of the show. It is both time and cost effec-tive, since the companies can see so many students in one location. The program is part of USPOULTRY’s continuing effort to encourage tal-ented young people to become the industry’s leaders of the future.

We provide many amenities for your convenience. Kiosks will help locate exhibitors, products, and ser-vices. You can access the Internet at the cyber center, which will be located in the A/B-Hall connec-tor. Free Wi-Fi will be available in the exhibit halls. Bus service is provided between the convention center and hotels in the IPE/IFE block, and we invite you to visit the International Networking Re-ception which will be held again at the Georgia Aquarium on Tuesday from 5:30-8 p.m.

Welcome to Atlanta, and thank you for your continued support our

industry by attending the Expo. Your attendance brings exhibiting companies to the show, as they know that industry leaders and purchasing decision makers will be there to see what they have to offer. The process works for ev-eryone and supports the industry at the same time. The funds generated from the Expo are reinvested into the industry in the form of research, education, communications and technical services.

Sparboe Farmstask force reviewsanimal care code

L I T C H F I E L D , Minn. — Sparboe Farms has announced that it is creating a Sus-tainability Task Force that is charged with reviewing all current company practices in the areas of food safety, animal care and sustainability. The task force will also develop additional best practices in those areas for all of the company’s production and processing facilities.

Beth Sparboe Schnell, president and owner of Sparboe Farms, said she decided to take the additional step of creating a Sustainability Task Force “so that we can make our company better.”

She also reassured consumers that “there is absolutely no food safety concern or any recall of any Sparboe Farms products. Sparboe Farms eggs and egg products are safe to eat.”

During a recent press conference, Schnell addressed the Nov. 18 ABC News “20/20” segment depicting animal mistreatment at a Spar-boe Farms facility and a U.S. Food & Drug Administration warning letter regarding violations of FDA regulations.

“All of us at Sparboe Farms were shocked and deeply disturbed when we saw the video shot in our barns that depicted animal mistreatment,” Schnell said. “At Sparboe Farms, we expect our employees to provide the best care possible and follow our animal care code of conduct.”

She added, “Acts depicted in the footage are totally unacceptable, inconsistent with our values as farmers, and violate our animal care policies and procedures.”

Immediately upon learning of the video the company said that it launched a comprehensive investigation which identified four employ-ees who were complicit in the disturbing activity, including at least one animal activist.

“Because we have zero tolerance for animal abuse, the four have been terminated. A production manager also has been relieved of his duties. Our investigation is ongoing and any additional employees involved will be held accountable,” Schnell said.

She pointed out the employees in question were trained on proper bird handling methods by Sparboe’s veterinarian. They signed the com-pany’s Animal Care Code of Conduct confirming they would abide by See Sparboe, Page 7

Dynamic & Solazyme supply biofuel to Navy

WASHINGTON — Dynamic Fuels LLC, a joint venture be-tween Tyson Foods Inc. and Syntroleum Corp., has been awarded a contract to supply the U.S. Navy with 450,000 gallons of renewable fuels.

Solazyme Inc., a renewable oil and bioproducts company, will help Dynamic Fuels fulfill the contract, which the Navy and the USDA report is the single largest purchase of biofuel in govern-ment history.

The contract involves supply-ing the Navy with 100,000 gal-lons of jet fuel (Hydro-treated Renewable JP-5 or HRJ-5) and 350,000 gallons of marine distil-late fuel (Hydro-Treated Renew-able F-76 or HRD-76). The fuel will be used as part of the Navy’s efforts to develop a “Green Strike Group” composed of vessels and ships powered by biofuel.

The Navy contract follows on the heels of both companies’ involvement in historic commer-cial airline flights using biofuel. This includes Dynamic Fuels’ re-newable jet fuel work with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Finnair, Thomson Airways and Alaska Airlines, and Solazyme’s recent flight and partnership with Unit-ed Airlines, which includes a let-ter of intent to provide 20 million gallons a year starting in 2014.

The fuel for the Navy will be manufactured at Dynamic Fuel’s Geismar, La., renewable fuels plant using U.S.-sourced yellow grease (used cooking oil) as well as Solazyme’s tailored algal oil as feedstocks. The fuel will be delivered to the U.S. Navy in May 2012. The Dynamic Fuels plant, which has been in opera-tion for more than a year, is de-signed to convert non-food feed-stocks such as algal oil, animal

fats, and greases into renewable fuels.

“This award clearly demon-strates that we’re building mo-mentum for the sale and use of our renewable fuels,” said Jeff Bigger, director of the Dynamic Fuels LLC Management Com-mittee. “We’ve previously pro-vided the U.S. military with fuel for testing. We believe this con-tract confirms they recognize the performance and environmental advantages of our fuel since they’re coming back for more and are asking for a much larger volume.”

“This is an historic contract and we are proud to be teaming up with Dynamic Fuels to pro-duce and deliver the advanced biofuel to the U.S. Navy to sail the Great Green Fleet. Dynamic Fuels has been a leader in next generation advanced biofuels technology and this partnership further solidifies the progress that both of our companies are making in bringing advanced renewable fuels to commercial-ization,” said Jonathan Wolfson, CEO of Solazyme. “Solazyme is honored to be working with the U.S. Navy and DLA-Energy in driving forward the Navy’s ef-fort under Secretary Ray Mabus to source 50 percent of its en-ergy from renewable sources by 2020.”

Soybean checkoff notes importance of poultry

ST. LOUIS — The soybean checkoff talks a lot about U.S. soybean farmers’ number one customers — poultry and live-stock farmers.

But these sectors impact more than just a soybean farmer’s profit potential. According to a recent soybean-checkoff-funded

study, poultry and livestock sup-ported 1.8 million U.S. jobs and added $19 billion in tax revenue annually to the U.S. economy.

“It’s important that we main-tain and expand animal agricul-ture in the United States,” says Laura Foell, a soybean farmer from Schaller, Iowa, and a farm-er-leader for the United Soybean Board. “It helps grow our U.S. soybean industry but is also a way we can keep jobs here and know we are producing safe and reliable food.”

That economic impact appears to be more than just a fad, the group noted. In fact, the poultry and livestock sectors increased household incomes by more than $4 billion during the last decade alone. Nearly 70 percent of that growth occurred west of the Mis-sissippi River or right on its bor-ders, but trends show growth oc-curring more evenly throughout the country.

“This study shows the impor-tance of animal agriculture not only to soybean farmers, but also to our local, state and national economies,” Foell said. “And animal agriculture helps local businesses by purchasing goods in local stores and creating local jobs.”

Iowa and California won big for growth in earnings, jobs and tax revenue from animal agri-culture, according to the study. Iowa added more than 19,000 jobs since 2000, while Cali-fornia added more than 17,000 in the same time period. These states added $176.2 million and $185.5 million in tax revenue, respectively, the study found.

Poultry and livestock consume 98 percent of domestic soybean meal each year and help increase the value of U.S. soybeans. The checkoff study showed most re-cently that consumption equaled 30 million tons of soybean meal, or the meal from approximately 1.2 billion bushels of soybeans

Sparboe’s policies.“We also engaged an independent auditor from Iowa

State University to conduct a third-party animal wel-fare audit, which confirmed that we are in full compli-ance with our animal welfare policies,” Schnell said. “In fact, we have successfully passed three additional third party audits in the last ten days.”

Schnell pointed out that “for 57 years, the Sparboe family and hundreds of dedicated employees have worked hard every day to properly care for our chick-ens so they will produce well for our loyal customers who, in turn, will provide families with safe, nutritious, affordable eggs. That’s why we were so sickened that the wrongful acts of a handful of bad actors would raise questions about Sparboe Farms’ earned reputation and overshadow the good work of the vast majority of our employees who strive to do the right thing every day.”

Schnell said that all of the company’s bird-handling employees have been re-trained, and that “we are go-ing to increase our animal care, food safety and com-

pliance staff.”Regarding the FDA violations, Schnell said that

earlier this year Sparboe responded to the FDA with corrective actions within 15 days of each inspection. In light of the recent warning letter advising the company that additional corrective steps are needed, “Our team will continue to work with the FDA to successfully address the remaining concerns immediately,” Schnell said.

Schnell underscored that “at no time has there been any health risk from Sparboe Farms eggs. Not a single egg has ever tested positive for salmonella. So the bot-tom line for consumers is that Sparboe Farms eggs and egg products are safe to eat.”

Sparboe Farms is dedicated to “continuous improve-ment in every area of our business because we want to truly be ‘best in class’ for the benefit of customers and consumers. And we are committed to always do-ing what’s right and conducting business in a socially responsible manner,” Schnell added.

Henningsen installs solar electric system

PORTLAND, Ore. — Henning-sen Cold Storage has announced the installation and commission-ing of a 78 kilowatt solar-electric system on its Portland, Ore., cold storage operation. It installed solar power to reduce and stabilize en-ergy costs and to follow through on its long-standing commitment to protecting the environment, the company said.

The Henningsen installation in-cludes 336 multi-crystalline solar panels, manufactured in the U.S., covering 12,000 square feet of pre-existing roof space. This system will supply approximately 5 per-cent of the electrical energy needs

for the 145,000 square foot facility or 77,280 kilowatt hours of annual energy production, the company noted.

Henningsen operates three cold storage facilities in the Portland area. This marks the company’s second investment in solar power technology. In 2010, the company installed a 200 kilowatt system on its 142,000 square foot facility.

It is estimated that during its 25-year warranted life, the solar-energy system will keep 60 tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmo-sphere, the company said, adding that, this is equivalent to driving an automobile more than 1,970,950 miles or the annual carbon dioxide offset of more than 61,800 trees.

Just BARE Chicken now Humane certified

WASHINGTON — American Humane Association’s farm animal welfare certification program has announced its newest American Humane Certified producer — Just

BARE® Chicken.This premium, all-natural brand

of chicken, distributed by Minneso-ta-based GNP Co., has no antibiot-ics, no added hormones, no animal byproducts and no unwanted solu-tions or additives, the group noted, adding that, it has traceability to the family farm where it was raised, and the promise of a lighter envi-ronmental footprint, as proven by the carbon reduction logo on every package.

“Just BARE Chicken is an excit-ing addition to the ranks of Ameri-can Humane Certified producers,” said Dr. Robin R. Ganzert, president and CEO of the American Humane Association. “The brand’s focus on caring practices, transparency and high quality standards for its chick-ens is a perfect match for our farm animal welfare program.”

In early 2012, the American Hu-mane Certified seal will be added to labels of the company’s fresh and frozen lines of Just BARE all-natu-ral chicken, which include items ranging from hand-trimmed bone-less, skinless chicken breast fillets to whole chicken to boneless, skin-less chicken thighs. The American Humane Certified seal signifies that

an independent, third-party audit verified that Just BARE’s animal care and handling processes met the more than 200 standards certi-fied by American Humane Asso-ciation.

According to Julie Berling, di-rector of brand advocacy and mar-keting for Just BARE, only a few small changes were required for the brand to achieve certification. However, this didn’t surprise her, since the respectful care and han-dling of its chickens has been a pri-ority for the company since it was founded in 1926.

“For us, the real benefit of Just BARE becoming an American Humane Certified producer is the access to the leading thinking on animal welfare of American Hu-mane Association and the added consumer trust and confidence third-party certification provides,” Berling said.

In October 2010, GNP Co. con-ducted a study with its consumer panel to determine how much trust consumers place in various levels of animal welfare claims. Choices included certification by a third-

party animal welfare association, by a government or industry as-sociation, or by a company’s own records. Nearly 62 percent of Just BARE target consumers said they placed a high degree of trust in certification by a third-party ani-mal welfare association, as long as it was executed by a known and reputable certifier — more than twice that of each of the other two options.

“With its founding association dating back to 1877, it being the nation’s first and fastest-growing farm animal welfare program, and its sound, science-based standards,” Berling said, “the American Hu-mane Certified Farm Program fits the bill as a known and reputable certifier and, in our opinion, is the best and strongest choice for ani-mal welfare certification.”

ATLANTA — The Interna-tional Poultry Expo is introduc-ing a new education program titled, International Rendering Symposium: Focus on Qual-ity, as a featured component of its educational programs at the 2012 Expo. The program is co-sponsored by the National Renderers Association and U.S. Poultry & Egg Association.

The U.S. rendering industry collects and safely processes more than 50 billion pounds of animal byproducts each year. Through this process the indus-

try converts these materials into fats and proteins used in animal feed. The rendering industry provides services for the safe collection of these materials, transports the materials in bio-secure, leak-proof trucks and uses heat (240 to 290 degrees F) to dehydrate and separate the fat and solid materials. This extensive process builds on the need to include safety and qual-ity into a rendered product.

“Rendered byproducts are an essential aspect to the poultry industry,” said Dr. David Meek-

er, vice president of scientific services for the National Ren-derers Association.

“Encompassing safety and quality control practices serve as the foundation to the produc-tion of a quality product. This program will include several globally recognized speakers who will focus on control meth-ods, microbiological controls, research and useful details on using rendered products in high quality diets for various spe-cies,” he said.

“We really appreciate the Na-

tional Rendering Association developing this excellent and timely educational program. We have had a number of loyal rendering-based exhibitors for many years, and we think add-ing this program makes Atlanta the place to be for anyone in the world wanting to learn about the industry and see the latest equipment and technology,” re-marked John Starkey, president of USPOULTRY.

Programs topics will include Global Rendering Markets, Rendering Code of Practice for

Safety and Quality – Certifica-tion Standards, Controlling Sal-monella in Feed, Research in the Rendering Industry, The Role of Rendered Products in Aquacul-ture Feeds and Rendered Prod-ucts for Pet Food.

The 2012 Expo will be held Jan. 24-26, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. The International Rendering Sympo-sium is scheduled for Thursday and Friday, Jan. 26-27 in Room B-405. The entire conference agenda can be viewed at http://www.ipeweek12.org.

2012 IPE introduces rendering symposium

ATHENS, Ga. — The International Poultry Expo is collaborating with the University of Georgia to promote the Georgia Interna-tional Poultry Short Course 2012 to be held Jan. 27-31, 2012, in Athens, Ga. Registrants who sign up for the short course will also receive registration to the 2012 IPE, which will take place Jan. 24-26, 2012 in Atlanta, Ga.

USPOULTRY announcesnew management workshop

ATLANTA — A new In-troduction to Management Workshop, sponsored by U.S. Poultry & Egg Associa-tion, will be offered in Janu-ary following the upcoming 2012 International Poultry Expo.

The workshop is focused on basic business skills for new managers and will pro-vide a fundamental under-standing of the financial and accounting tools available to help manage effectively, as well as the people manage-ment skills needed to suc-ceed in today’s business en-vironment.

The program will be pre-sented by Seals Burdell, US-POULTRY controller, and Paul Pressley, executive vice president, industry programs, who represent a combined 60+ years of poultry industry experience. This experience

will be utilized to highlight concepts such as product costing, performance mea-surement, internal controls, interpreting financial state-ments, and personnel, safety and risk management. Addi-tionally, well known industry analyst Mike Donohue, vice president of AgriStats, will provide an outline of how the industry uses AgriStats’ data to improve operations.

“We listened to our mem-bers and developed a work-shop on managerial basics for our line-up of education-al seminars and workshops for 2012. Our members in-dicated that new college hires, management trainees and newly promoted manag-ers may have the technical skills necessary to perform the tasks assigned. However, many often lack command of the basic business skills

to function effectively in the organization. This workshop will address these areas of concern,” remarked John Starkey, president of US-POULTRY.

Programs topics will in-clude an industry overview: an introduction to the poultry and egg business; finance/accounting tools; human re-sources: managing people skills; AgriStats: metrics and purpose; and regulatory en-vironment.

The workshop is scheduled for Thursday and Friday, Jan. 26-27, 2012, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. Registration for the workshop includes admission to the International Poultry Expo scheduled for Jan. 24-26. Agenda topics and reg-istration can be obtained at http://www.poultryegginsti-tute.org/educationprograms/index.cfm#itm.

AFIA educational programat IFE/IPE examines feed issues

KEENE, N.H. — Biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel were once heralded as stars of our renewable energy future. But how practical is it for ser-vice stations to sell biofuels?

Rich Grogan, an assistant professor in the Department of Management at Antioch Uni-versity New England (AUNE), put that question to owners of service stations and oil com-panies in Michigan. If biofu-els were going to be embraced by the driving public, con-sumers would have to find it convenient to purchase them. Grogan, who earned a doctor-ate degree in organizational sustainability from Michigan State University, wanted to know how and why the retail-

ers on the ground floor of the industry made their decisions.

“In Michigan, between ninety and ninety-five percent of service stations are locally owned — they are small busi-nesses,” according to Grogan. “And so each one of these small businesses had to deter-mine for themselves whether or not to offer biofuels. . . . And if they chose not to, there could be no massive adoption by consumers.”

Many barriersGrogan found that few ser-

vice stations in Michigan ac-tually offered ethanol and biodiesel to their customers, despite financial incentives from the state government.

Although the expense of new infrastructure was the reason most commonly given for not offering biofuels, it was not the only justification. Service-station owners also faced an uncertain regulatory environ-ment at the state level and re-sistance from the big gasoline and diesel brands. Gas sta-tions that did gear up to sell biofuels, on the assumptions that there would be sufficient demand and that it would give them an advantage over their competitors, faced an uncer-tain return on their investment, since customer demand often didn’t materialize.

Grogan presented the study’s results in his paper “Choos-ing Sustainability: A Case

Study of Service Stations” at an international conference on small and medium enterprises, SMEs: Moving Toward Busi-ness Sustainability, that was sponsored by the Network for Business Sustainability this fall in Montreal.

Grogan undertook his study from 2007 to 2010, inter-viewing service-station own-ers about their decisions on whether or not to invest in the infrastructure needed to offer biofuels. “Biofuels were the darling of U.S. politicians, who promised that biofuels would reduce petroleum use; in Michigan, they were touted as the economic savior of a de-pressed economy,” he wrote. The state was offering up to

$7,500 to station owners to defray the cost of upgrading infrastructure.

He found that government incentives were not sufficient to convince gas-station own-ers to install the pumps and other infrastructure needed to sell biofuels, which could cost as much as $100,000. Grogan concluded that, if they were going to succeed on a wide scale, policies designed to en-courage sustainable practices — such as Michigan’s biofuel incentive — must realistically calculate the costs and impacts of infrastructure changes and simultaneously address the need for decision support among small business owners.

By Constanza ValdesSpecial to Poultry Times

WASHINGTON — World-wide production and use of etha-nol as an alternative to fossil fuel has increased dramatically since 2000. Ethanol demand is being driven by rising world crude oil prices, increased use of ethanol as an environmentally friendly fuel oxygenate, and government incentives in many countries to reduce dependence on fossil fuel by increasing the use of renew-able energy sources. Global etha-nol use will continue to rise dur-ing the next decade if countries fulfill their ethanol use targets.

Brazil is the world’s second largest ethanol producer and ex-porter (after the U.S.). Several factors have combined to stimu-late the development of Brazil’s ethanol industry: an increased capacity to produce sugarcane as an ethanol feedstock, sup-portive government policies,

and improved efficiency in sug-arcane production and ethanol conversion processes. But Brazil will need to sustain production growth in the ethanol sector in order to meet increasing domes-tic demand and maintain its ex-port share.

ExpansionBrazil is now the world’s larg-

est grower of sugarcane at 719 million tons in 2010, accounting for a third of world production. Cultivated sugarcane area has ex-panded rapidly from 4.3 million hectares (1 hectare = 2.47 acres) in 1990, to more than 10 million hectares in 2010. Sugarcane cul-tivation has been central to Bra-zilian agricultural development since the 1950s. Sugar was Bra-zil’s most valuable export crop in the 1950s and 1960s. In the mid-1970s, emphasis switched from sugar to ethanol production to meet domestic fuel needs, and, with the current boom in renew-able fuels demand, Brazil has become a large-scale ethanol producer and exporter.

The rapid expansion in Bra-zil’s sugarcane production is

the result of a favorable climate, land availability, abundant la-bor, a pro-ethanol public policy, and research by public agencies to develop higher yielding cane varieties and new planting tech-niques to increase efficiency. While much of the expansion has been due to the conversion of former pastureland to sugarcane cultivation, with area increasing annually by 3.2 percent since 1975, productivity increases have also contributed to sugar-cane growth.

Continual improvements in sugarcane productivity since the 1970s have increased yields by almost 34 tons per hectare to the national average of nearly 80 tons per hectare in 2010, one of the world’s highest. In São Pau-lo, Brazil’s leading cane-produc-ing state, yields are 20 percent to 25 percent above the national average.

In 2010, Brazilian sugarcane used for ethanol production to-taled 398 million tons, or 55.4 percent of the sugarcane harvest-ed. Domestic and global growth in ethanol demand has boosted the share of cane used for ethanol since 2006/07. The allocation of sugarcane to production of sugar versus ethanol is set by millers based on expected sugar and eth-anol prices and market demand. This marks a significant change from the early years of Proál-cool (Brazil’s ethanol program), when the allocation of sugarcane to ethanol production was an ad-ministered policy instrument to counter oversupply of sugar and low international sugar prices.

CapacityBrazil’s ethanol production ca-

pacity rose from 11 billion liters (1 liter = 0.26 gallon) in 2000 to 27 billion liters in 2010, account-ing for 26 percent of worldwide ethanol production in that year.

Since 2000, the number of etha-nol-producing plants (distilleries and mixed sugar-ethanol process-ing mills) in Brazil has doubled to 430. Most are located in São Paulo (SP), which accounted for 58 percent of total Brazilian pro-duction in 2010.

Growth in ethanol produc-tion has been fastest in Brazil’s Center-West region, where pro-duction has increased 15 percent yearly since 2001. This region in-cludes the States of Goias (GO), Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), and Mato Grosso (MT), which to-gether accounted for 16 percent of Brazil’s ethanol production and where future ethanol expan-sion is expected to occur.

At the same time, processors are becoming more efficient in producing ethanol from sugar-cane. Ethanol yields at distill-eries have grown 4 percent per year since 2000 as plants have adopted more efficient process-ing technologies.

Brazil’s position as an exporter of ethanol continues to grow in importance: the ratio of exports to production increased from an average of 4 percent in the early 2000s to 19 percent in 2008, before declining to 7 percent in 2010.

Until 2008, Brazil was the world’s largest supplier of etha-nol, reaching a peak of 5.1 bil-lion liters in 2008 and account-ing for more than 62 percent of the world ethanol export market. Brazil’s ethanol exports declined in 2009 and 2010 because of strong domestic demand for etha-nol and greater diversion of cane to sugar production in response to high global sugar prices and strong demand by India for sugar imports.

Government policiesThe push to promote Brazil’s

ethanol industry began in 1975

when the government imple-mented the Proálcool program in response to soaring crude oil prices and a crisis in the inter-national sugar market. The pro-gram encouraged replacement of imported crude oil with domes-tically produced ethanol, which was blended with gasoline. Un-der the program, the government provided financial support for the construction of distilleries.

To ensure a domestic mar-ket for ethanol, the government stimulated demand through man-datory ethanol blending targets, subsidized credit to factories producing cars that use ethanol, and tax exemptions for consum-ers to buy them. Vehicles that ran only on ethanol were introduced in 1979, and by 2003, flex-fuel vehicles that can be powered by gasoline and ethanol in any proportion up to 100 percent ethanol were available. As in the U.S., support for consumption of ethanol continues through man-datory blending of ethanol with gasoline.

Credit granted by public finan-cial institutions has also been an important factor in development of the sector. Government- sub-sidized credit allocated to sugar-cane cultivation grew from less than $200 million in 2000 to $3.1 billion in 2010, while credit allocations to the ethanol in-dustry expanded 80 percent per year since 2000 to $1.7 billion in 2010. Historically, sugarcane producers in Brazil’s Northeast-ern region have been given spe-cial subsidies (currently R$5 per ton) and protection because of the region’s weak economy and its dependence on sugar.

BLAIR, Neb. — The leading maker of the enzymes used to pro-duce biofuels says the declining political support for ethanol hasn’t diminished the long-term prospects for the industry making fuel from plants.

Novozymes plans to open a ma-jor new enzyme plant in eastern Nebraska next year to better serve the ethanol industry.

“It’s a huge potential that’s out there,” said Adam Monroe, presi-dent of Novozymes’ North Ameri-can unit.

Monroe said he thinks the U.S. biofuel industry has grown up a great deal over the past decade, so he’s not concerned about the end of the federal ethanol tax credit next year.

“It can now stand on its own two feet and compete,” he said.

But Monroe said he thinks the government should continue to support the biofuels industry through policies like the renewable fuels standard, which will require 36 billion gallons of biofuels to be blended into gasoline by 2022, including 16 billion gallons of cel-lulosic ethanol.

Monroe said the ethanol industry has the potential to provide a much bigger share of the nation’s fuel supply than the renewable fuels standard requires.

“It’s a bigger solution than a lot of people realize,” he said.

The Renewable Fuels Associa-tion says the industry is now pro-ducing about 13.7 billion gallons of ethanol at more than 200 plants na-tionwide, which includes 25 plants in Nebraska. That’s roughly 10 percent of the 138 billion gallons of gas that were used in the country last year.

Association spokesman Matt Hartwig said the industry is pre-pared for the end of the 4.5-cent per gallon tax credit ethanol has

received for several years.“Right now, ethanol is very cost-

competitive with gasoline without the tax credits,” Hartwig said.

Novozymes expects the new enzyme plant, which cost between $160 million and $200 million, to be completed sometime during the second quarter of next year. More than 200 construction workers are spending their days at the site south of Blair to meet that target.

About 56 full-time employees work at the plant already, but that number will grow toward 100 be-ginning early next year.

Blair was chosen for Novozymes’ new plant because the plant will be close to the raw materials it needs and close to its customers. Plus, Nebraska offered relatively cheap

electrical power for the plant.The Blair plant will take over

production of Novozymes’ bio-fuel enzymes from the company’s North Carolina plant. That facility will then focus on making enzymes for other uses, including detergents, food production and beer brewing.

Novozymes estimates that its products accounted for about 47 percent of the global enzyme mar-ket in 2010 and about 65 percent of the biofuel enzyme market.

Sales of biofuel enzymes ac-count for about 18 percent of No-vozymes’ business.

Novozymes, which is based in Bagsvaerd, Denmark, employs about 5,400 people — half of them based in Denmark.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Due to increased scrutiny from govern-ment regulators and the public on air emissions from poultry pro-duction facilities, there is a growing incentive for producers to take cost-effective steps to enhance the emission profiles of their operations. To this end, a recent USDA-funded study conducted at Michigan State University has shown that by making simple changes to the diets fed to turkey toms, producers can reduce ni-trogen emissions from their growout farms without sacrificing meat yields.

Researchers from Michigan State University, University of Maryland and Purdue University detailed their findings in a recent issue of Poultry Science, the journal is published by the Poultry Science Association (PSA).

centrations of crude protein and different amino acid (AA) sup-

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — En-vironmental groups and the poultry industry are closely watching a North Carolina case that could prevent the state from using federal wa-ter-quality protection laws to regulate airborne emissions from a livestock operation.

Environmentalists contend the outcome will have national implications, but the other side says the matter has already been settled by the courts.

At issue is a massive egg farm in Hyde County that has been operating since 2006 about a mile from the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Ref-uge.

The Indiana-based Rose Acre Farms received a five-year permit under the Clean Water Act, and state regulators determined it wouldn’t need an air quality permit because

emissions were not likely to exceed federal limits.

Because the plant, with more than 3 million birds housed in 12 high-rise hen houses, is so close to the 110,000-acre wetlands habitat, the state De-partment of Environment and Natural Resources began tak-ing regular water samples to ensure there was no contami-nation. DENR found in 2009 that ammonia and other pollut-ants in nearby waterways had increased significantly. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reported similar findings.

The state Division of Water Quality renewed Rose Acre Farm’s permit in 2010 but also tacked on new conditions, in-cluding monitoring ammonia from the hen houses’ ventila-tion system. The company ob-jected to those conditions and appealed, arguing the state had no legal authority under the Clean Water Act since it

doesn’t discharge into water-ways.

In October, state Adminis-trative Law Judge Augustus B. Elkins II agreed with Rose Acre Farms, finding that the state had no authority to re-quire a permit under the Clean Water Act and impose the new requirements. Elkins cited a recent federal appellate court ruling and the state Environ-mental Management Commis-sion’s own decision in 2001 not to regulate airborne emis-sions of ammonia in the state’s water-protection program in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin.

The case now goes to the commission on appeal, where Rose Acre Farms is confident the ruling will be upheld. The Environmental Management Commission can only reverse an administrative law judge’s ruling on the facts of the case, Joseph A. Miller, general coun-sel for the egg farm, said.

Since Elkins issued a sum-mary judgment based solely on the legal issues, Miller says a reversal is unlikely. A ruling in favor of Rose Acre Farms by the commission, which is scheduled to hear the case in January, would settle the case. DENR cannot appeal a decision by the commission because it is an entity of the department.

That prompted several envi-ronmental groups to file a mo-tion this week to intervene in the case.

If they are successful, they can appeal the case to a state superior court.

The groups are the Pamlico-Tar River Foundation, Friends of Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge and Water-keeper Alliance.

They argue that DENR can-not adequately represent their

interests because the agency “must balance competing in-terests and make compromises where necessary for political reasons.”

Earlier, the N.C. Poultry Fed-eration was permitted to join the case in alliance with Rose Acre Farms.

When it was proposed in 2003, the egg farm was hailed as a boon to an economically challenged area of the state. The plant employs about 150 people. But local and statewide conser-vation groups were concerned from the beginning. The Pocosin refuge is a major route for mi-gratory waterfowl and is home to the endangered red wolf.

Environmentalists cite the company’s own experts es-timating that the farm emits more than 2 million pounds of ammonia each year. They say studies show that between 184,000 and 570,000 pounds of ammonia have been depos-ited within two miles of the plant and that it is inevitable

some will reach the refuge wa-terways.

Miller, the company’s at-torney, countered that studies have shown emissions amount to less than half a pound per acre in the refuge.

Miller said an N.C. State University expert who has studied the soil in that part of the state for decades has determined that the ammonia deposits there are beneficial. Another NCSU expert says the plant is not emitting more nitrogen material than it brings in through feed, Miller said.

“Their argument that all of this is going into the water doesn’t make sense,” Miller said.

Christopher Leung of Earthjustice, the environmen-tal law group that filed the mo-tion, disagrees.

“It’s all ending up in nearby water in a national wildlife ref-uge,” he said Wednesday. “The Clean Water Act was meant to protect against that.

plementations on nutrient retention and excretion by turkeys. They observed that decreasing dietary crude protein from 110 percent to 100 percent of the amount recommended by the National Research Council (NRC), and adding threonine to an AA supplementation of lysine and methionine, measurably reduced the nitrogen and cumula-tive ammonia (NH3) losses from turkey facilities with no differences in tom growth or feed conversion.

Specifically, the study showed that diets containing the three sup-plemental amino acids resulted in lower nitrogen excretion (by 12 percent) and a lower cumulative loss of ammonia (by 23 percent) when compared with diets containing only two supplemental amino acids. The Environmental Protection Agency monitors emissions of air pollutants, such as particulate matter, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), under the U.S. Clean Air Act of 1990 (CAA). In 2005 the EPA announced an air qual-ity compliance agreement to address emissions from certain animal feeding operations or AFOs.

Dr. Zefei Liu, research associate at Michigan State University and one of the authors of the study, noted: “The goals of the 2005 EPA agreement include ensuring compliance with applicable CERCLA (Clean Air Act, Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compen-sation and Liability Act) and EPCRA (Environmental Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act) provisions. Because some of these provisions carry hefty penalties for non-compliance, it is important for the poultry industry to continue to search for methods to monitor and control nutrient losses and air emissions from their operations. We hope that the findings of our study will contribute to this ef-fort.”

WASHINGTON — The Inter-national Brotherhood of Team-sters has filed suit to block Mexi-can trucks from operating in the U.S.

In papers filed Nov. 23 in fed-eral appeals court in Washington, the union said the government must first assess the environ-mental impact of a pilot project before letting it continue. The first Mexican truck in the pilot program crossed the border last month.

Teamsters President James P. Hoffa said opening the border to the trucks is an attack on the environment, on highway safety and on American truckers and warehouse workers.

“It’s outrageous enough that we’ve outsourced millions of jobs to foreign countries, but now we’re bringing foreign workers here to take our jobs,”

Hoffa said in a statement. “This is another pressure the American middle-class doesn’t need.”

Under the North American Free Trade Agreement signed nearly two decades ago, trucks from both countries were sup-posed to have unhindered access to highways on either side of the border.

The Teamsters, Public Citizen and the Sierra Club challenged the program in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The suit claims the Federal Mo-tor Carrier Safety Administration breaks the following laws:l It waives a law that trucks

must display certain proof that they meet federal safety stan-dards.l It breaks the law requiring

the pilot program to achieve an equivalent level of safety be-cause Mexican drivers don’t

have to meet the same physical requirements as U.S. drivers.l It breaks the law that Mex-

ico must provide simultaneous and comparable access to U.S. trucks. Mexico cannot do so be-cause of the limited availability of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel in Mexico.l It breaks the law that the pi-

lot program must include enough participants to be statistically valid. The FMCSA’s proposal ensures that only the best Mexi-can trucks participate, which would allow it to justify letting any Mexican truck over the bor-der in the future.l It doesn’t comply with the

environment requirement of the National Environmental Policy Act.

“Congress has repeatedly and overwhelmingly set tough safety

conditions for any cross-border trucking program, and this one clearly doesn’t meet those con-ditions,” Hoffa said.

Mexico’s Ambassador to the U.S., Arturo Sarukhan, said that the Teamsters are engaging in protectionism.

“First it was about the safety of Mexican rigs; now, with no-where to run with that argu-

ment, the new red herring is an alleged environmental impact,” Sarukhan said in a statement.

Founded in 1903, the Team-sters Union represents more than 1.4 million men and women in the U.S. and Canada.

SPRINGDALE, Ark. — The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Pro-grams has filed an administrative complaint against federal contractor Cargill Meat Solutions, alleg-ing that the company systematically discriminated against 4,069 qualified female, white, black, His-panic and Native American applicants who sought entry-level production jobs at its Springdale, Ark., facility.

The complaint was filed with the department’s Office of Administrative Law Judges after OFCCP was unable to secure a fair resolution from Cargill Meat Solutions to pay back wages and interest to the rejected job applicants and extend job offers to at least 167 of the affected workers. OFCCP is seek-ing cancellation of Cargill Meat Solutions’ existing government contracts and debarment from entering into future contracts until the company resolves all violations and corrects its discriminatory employ-ment practices.

“This is an unfortunate case in which thousands of qualified workers were denied the opportunity to compete fairly for jobs in a tough economy,” said

OFCCP Director Patricia A. Shiu. “Cargill has dis-criminated against vulnerable workers. OFCCP is prepared to use every tool at our disposal, includ-ing canceling a company’s federal contracts when necessary, to achieve the goal of equal opportunity for workers.”

OFCCP discovered the company’s discriminatory practices during a scheduled review to determine its compliance with Executive Order 11246, which pro-hibits federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of race, national origin or sex when making hiring decisions. The investigation found that the company’s selection criteria were subjectively and inconsistently applied. As a result, women were less likely to be employed in entry-level production jobs, and Asian and Pacific Islander job seekers were un-fairly favored over other racial groups.

Our technical expertise in the management of high power microwave frequencies has proved invaluable in providing reliable and cost effective cooking, batch tempering and drying systems. Ferrite Tempering Systems provide point of product temperature control, preventing bacteria such as E. coli and listeria from incubating and contaminating products. Due to the speed of microwave heating, natural juices and flavors are retained, resulting in products with better color, taste and texture than with conventional slow thawing. A Ferrite Booster Oven will increase production capacity 30-50 percent. When placed in front of the cooling line, it pre-heats the entire product so time with your present cooking system is reduced. Designed with an integrated platform to maximize floor space, this is a turn-key system that integrates directly into any current cooking system. We can

carefully customize our systems to the specific application of our clients and support our systems with an excellent service and parts department.

Box 256NL-3900 AG VeenendaalTHE NETHERLANDSPh: 31-318-512511E-mail: [email protected]: http://www.hatchtech.nlhttp://www.hatchbrood.comOur revolutionary incubation concept, based on the effect of embryo temperature on optimum incubation, led to the development of patented perforated radiators to create a laminar airflow that gives each and every embryo an equal opportunity to vent heat during incubation. This concept of temperature control, first applied to the incubation process, is now also being applied during chick transport and chick brooding. During

IPE 2012, HatchTech will present its new Uniform Embryo Activator. One of the first and most important steps in the incubation process is bringing the eggs from storage temperature to the optimal incubation temperature. For the best incubation results, this process must be uniform. The Uniform Embryo Activator, which is a standard feature of the HatchTech MicroClimer Setters, exactly regulates the first incubation phase in a way that ensures the best and most uniform start and early development of all the embryos in the setter.

MasoSine 655037 Upton DriveWilmington, Mass. 01887Ph: 800-282-8823E-mail: [email protected]: http://www.masosine.comMasoSine will be showcasing its unique line of Sine pumps at the International Poultry Expo. The Sine pump’s capacity of pumping large particulates while providing powerful suction and smooth consistent flow rates provides the ultimate solution for pumping marinated boneless poultry products. Unlike typical poultry further processing plants which implement labor intensive methods to place marinated meat products on conveyors using up to 10 workers across a 40-inch belt, the use of the MasoSine pump eliminates unnecessary labor by mechanically spreading the product directly onto the conveyor. Additionally, the pump eliminates inconsistent production rates due to human error and increases profitability of a production line. With a single shaft and rotor, MasoSine pumps are easy to use and quick to maintain or clean, reducing production costs. Our food and beverage pumps are engineered for long service life without the high cost or inconvenience of off-site remanufacturing or reconditioning. The proof is in MasoSine’s 20 year warranty on our pump housing.

“Our long-standing International Poultry Scien-tific Forum, Pet Food Conference, Animal Agri-culture Sustainability Summit and USPOULTRY Education Programs are an important part of IPE and provide people with an additional purpose for attending the Expo,” said John Starkey, president of the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association, adding that, “. . . IPE Week gives us an opportunity to provide additional education programs, something we have not been able to do in the past.”

New for 2012 are the following educational programs: Chartering the Course: An Executive Conference on the Future of the American Poul-try Industry (which will incorporate the Market Intelligence Forum); IPE Pre-Harvest Food Safety Conference (a compliment to the 2011 IPE Salmo-nella and Campylobacter Reduction Conference); USPOULTRY/United Egg Producers Symposium on the Future of American Egg Production; and the National Renderer’s Association Quality Feed Ingredients Conference.

RegistrationAttendee and exhibitor pre-registration and hotel

registration for the 2012 IPE/IFE is also open. Online is the only way to pre-register for the discounted price of $40 through Jan. 6, 2012. After Jan. 6, 2012, the registration fee will in-

crease to $60.The newly updated IPE web site focuses on rel-

evant attendee information including attendee reg-istration, hotel reservations, a video describing the IPE experience and a schedule of 2012 educational seminars offered during the Expo.

Also returning will be the “Members to Atlanta” (M2A) program, which waives the registration fee for attendees from member companies of either as-sociation engaged in the production of poultry/egg for consumption, and feed products. The program is supported through the sponsorship of elite Expo exhibitors. They include: Agranco Corp. USA, Alaso, Alltech, Aviagen, Cobb-Vantress, Diamond V, ISI-Incubator Supply, Jamesway, Marel Stork Poultry Processing, Mosaic, Pfizer Poultry Health and Val-Co.

“We recognize and thank these elite exhibit-ing companies for joining in the M2A program. M2A performed a significant part in increasing attendance and contributing to the success of the 2011 Expo. We expect M2A to be utilized again for the 2012 year and to continue to add excitement through the support of these elite sponsors,” said USPOULTRY Chairman Gary Cooper, Cooper Farms, Oakwood, Ohio.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — On Nov. 2, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack visited the Old Illi-nois State Capitol to announce the year-long celebration of USDA’s 150th anniversary in 2012.

Vilsack was in the hometown of USDA’s founder — President Abraham Lincoln — who signed into law an act of Congress estab-lishing the United States Depart-ment of Agriculture in 1862.

“Through our work on food, ag-riculture, economic development, science, natural resource conser-vation and a host of issues, USDA still fulfills President Lincoln’s vision as “The People’s Depart-

ment” — touching the lives of every American, every day,” Vil-sack said. “As we commemorate 150 years, we will look for les-sons from the past that can help us strengthen USDA in the future to address the changing needs of ag-riculture and rural America.”

President Lincoln established USDA because he recognized the potential of America’s farm-ers to find new ways to cultivate the land and that with advances in research and technology, Ameri-ca’s farmers and ranchers could provide a safe, ample food supply for our nation and the world, the department noted.

In one of President Lincoln’s only speeches on agriculture at the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society on Sept. 30, 1859, he said, “. . . no other human occupation opens so wide a field for the prof-itable and agreeable combination of labor with cultivated thought, as agriculture.”

USDA noted that it is getting

ready for a historic year for the department next year. In Feb-ruary 2012, at USDA’s Annual Agricultural Outlook Forum, the department will formally launch the 150th anniversary commemo-ration. Throughout 2012, USDA will recognize important events, such as President Lincoln’s sign-ing of an Act to establish the De-partment of Agriculture on May, 15, 1862, and the July signing of the Morrill Act to establish public land grant universities. Employ-

ees in USDA field offices across the country will also celebrate this landmark throughout 2012.

USDA has also created a web page, http://www.usda.gov/usda150. The site will give the American people a sense of where USDA has been — and where USDA is headed in the 21st century, the department said. This web page will provide in-formation about events, facts and goings-on related to the anniver-sary.

USDA celebrates 150th anniversary in 2012

MCLEAN, Va. — The Food Processing Suppliers Association has announced registered attendees of 12,732 for PROCESS EXPO 2011, which took place Nov. 1-4, 2011, at McCormick Place in Chicago.

International attendees at this year’s event totaled just more than 14 percent of visitors with the largest delegations coming from Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and Germany.

“We’re very happy with the strong turnout at this year’s show,” said Scott Scriven, chairman of the Food Processing Suppliers Association and president of Weber Inc. “Not only did we double the size of the show floor over last year’s, we delivered more than twice as many attendees to the show at the same time. When you take the economy into account and what is going on at other industry trade shows, these results are absolutely remarkable and demonstrate the industry’s en-thusiastic support of a horizontal trade show dedicated entirely to the food and beverage industry.”

“This year, special attention was placed on the attendee experi-ence at PROCESS EXPO,” said FPSA President and CEO David Seckman.”This year’s show featured a greatly expanded educational program built with input from the food processor community. Culi-nary and industry council pavilions highlighted finished products for the consumer, and mobile resources such as the PROCESS EXPO mobile app and eDaily provided attendees with more information at their fingertips.”

In 2010, FPSA announced that PROCESS EXPO was moving to a biennial show cycle. The next PROCESS EXPO is scheduled for Oct. 14-17, 2013, in the North Hall of Chicago’s McCormick Place.

The Charting the Course poultry conference was added to the 2012 IPE/IFE educational programs to help provide industry leaders with a view to the current and upcoming challenges and opportunities facing our industry,” Cooper said.

Breakout sessions will follow for the poultry meat and egg sections of the industry. The egg program will be co-sponsored by the United Egg Producers, along with USPOULTRY.

In the poultry breakout session Adriaan Weststrate and David Nelson of Rabobank International will discuss “Global competi-tiveness: Drivers and issues for the future.”

Other speakers and their topics include Doug Britton, Georgia Tech Research Institute, technology versus labor; Paul Pressley, USPOULTRY, management development and succession plan-ning; Yvonne Vizzier Thaxton, University of Arkansas, social issues including animal welfare, the environment, food safety and employee welfare; and Don Conner, Auburn University, a university research.

In the egg breakout session Dr. Ferry Leenstra of the Wagenin-gen University in the Netherlands will address Global Competi-tiveness, with a view at lessons learned from the last 10 years and drivers and issues for the future.

An additional egg session will examine the status of current production systems research. Speakers include Dr. Darrin Karch-er, Michigan State University, housing alternatives and results; and Dr. Jeff Buhr, USDA Agricultural Research Service, food safety implications of various alternative production systems.

Gene Gregory of the United Egg Producers will discuss the UEP/Humane Society of the United States agreement and what it means to the Industry; Tom Silva of J.S. West Milling Co. will speak on initial results from enriched colony housing.

The 2012 IPE will be held Jan. 24-26, at the Georgia World Congress Center. More information on the IPE and educational program can be obtained at http://www.ipeweek12.org.

Molecular serotypingand detecting salmonellaBy Dr. Jonathan FryeSpecial to Poultry Times

OCEAN CITY, Md. — Sal-monella enterica is an impor-tant human and animal patho-gen responsible for infection of more than 1 million people each year in the U.S. Many of these illnesses are thought to be caused by the foodborne transmission of salmonella from food animal products to humans. To help prevent foodborne disease, the detec-tion of salmonella is neces-sary on farms, in animals, on carcasses and on food prod-ucts destined for retail sale.

To complicate matters, Sal-monella enterica is composed of more than 2,500 different serovars (aka: serotypes), each of which may have a dif-ferent host range, virulence, or potential for becoming a foodborne pathogen. There-fore, in addition to detection techniques such as isolation and culturing, the salmonel-la collected must be further characterized by serovar, us-ing specific antiserum in a difficult and multi-step pro-cedure.

In the past several years, molecular-based tests such as polymerase chain reaction

(PCR) have been developed to improve detection and typing of salmonella. Recently, mo-lecular methods have taken a great leap forward due to col-lection of massive amounts of DNA sequence data for patho-gens like salmonella. This ge-nomic data can be leveraged to make better and more spe-cific typing and detection as-says for salmonella.

The species Salmonella en-terica encompasses a diverse group of closely related bacte-ria that can be further divided into serovars, each of which may vary in their capability of infecting specific hosts, causing disease and becoming outbreak strains. Examples include generalists like Sal-monella enterica serovar Ty-phimurium that can colonize many different animals and is virulent in a variety of hosts. However, severity of disease differs from host to host. S. typhimurium can cause gastro-enteritis in humans and other animals, usually causes no symptoms or disease in adult poultry, but can cause a high-ly invasive and lethal typhoid like bacterimia in mice.

S. Typhimurium has been isolated from many diverse food animals, such as swine, cattle and poultry, and prod-ucts from each of these sourc-es have caused foodborne outbreaks in humans. S. En-teritidis is similar in its abil-ity to cause human disease; however, outbreaks of food-borne S. Enteritidis are usu-ally associated with poultry, especially chickens, chicken eggs and their products. In chickens this serovar rarely causes disease, but it can col-

onize the reproductive tract of hens, leading to trans-ovarian transmission of S. Enteritidisto eggs and chicks.

S. Kentucky is also often isolated from poultry; how-ever it rarely causes disease in chickens and even more rarely causes foodborne out-breaks in humans, despite its high prevalence in chickens and chicken products. Final-ly, there are serovars that are often associated with a single source. Examples of these in-clude S. Newport with cattle, Choloraseuis with swine and Typhi with humans.

The reasons for these differ-ences are reflected in the ge-netic variation between these serovars, which is not well understood. Consequently, salmonella genomics is under investigation to improve our understanding of the genetic differences responsible for so many different serovars and phenotypes. We can also use these differences to develop tools for detecting, identify-ing, studying and combating foodborne salmonella infec-tions.

Genomic studies of salmo-nella began with the sequenc-ing of the whole S. Typhimuri-um LT2 genome, which was followed by sequencing of other strains and serovars. In addition to the genetic data produced by these studies, the sequences were used to make new tools to investi-gate salmonella. One of these was the DNA microarray. In order to construct DNA mi-croarrays, the whole genome sequence was used to design

URBANA, Ill. — How big of a turkey should I buy? Will a hen or a tom turkey give me more for my money? And what can I do to disguise all of the leftovers so the family will actually en-joy them?

University of Illinois Exten-sion’s “Turkey for the Holi-days” web site offers quick, reliable answers to the most common questions cooks have about preparing a traditional holiday dinner — plus links to some fun holiday-themed ac-tivities to keep the kids busy while the grown-ups are busy

in the kitchen.The web site is http://ur-

banext.illinois.edu/turkey/.There are literally hundreds

of ways to cook a turkey, ac-cording to Drusilla Banks, nu-trition and wellness educator with the U of I Extension.

“And each year, chefs cre-ate new recipes and techniques based on trendy regional in-gredients and creative cooking methods,” she said. “Some are good, some are bad, and some are downright unsafe.”

The Turkey for the Holidays web site is designed to help

busy cooks quickly find the information they need so they can avoid mistakes and prob-lems. Thawing the turkey on the counter at room tempera-ture is one of the more frequent and dangerous errors.

At room temperature, bac-teria on the turkey can grow rapidly when the outside por-tion of the bird begins to thaw. These bacteria can multiply to dangerously high levels, pro-ducing toxins that cooking may not destroy.

One of the safest ways to thaw a turkey is in the refrigera-

tor, Banks said.“We need to allow about 24

hours of defrost time for every five pounds of turkey. So a 20-pound turkey will take four to five days to thaw in the refrig-erator. But it’s easy to get pre-occupied with other things and forget to move the turkey from the freezer to the fridge in time to be sure it’s thawed out by . . . morning,” Banks said.

Thawing the bird in cold wa-ter is an alternative, but that, too, requires a bit of advance planning.

“Keep the wrapper on the turkey, and submerge it in a deep sink full of cold water,” Banks advises. “Allow about 30 minutes per pound to de-frost a turkey in cold water — and be sure to change the water every 30 minutes to keep it cold enough to prevent bac-terial growth.”

The web site also includes some recipes for leftovers and recommendations on how long is too long to keep those left-overs.

As dessert is served, it’s a good idea to put the leftover turkey and side dishes in the

refrigerator, Banks said.If roast turkey goes into the

refrigerator within two hours after it comes out of the oven, it should be good for three to four days. Stuffing and gravy have a refrigerated shelf life of only one to two days before they may start to go bad.

Many families, especially smaller households, may opt to buy ready-made dinners from a local restaurant or supermar-ket. Any carry-out leftovers should be eaten the next day at the latest, Banks said.

“You just can’t be certain how the food was handled be-fore you picked it up, or how long it may have been packed and waiting for you. By the time you pick up the food and get it home, serve it and en-joy a leisurely holiday dinner, there’s a good chance that more than two hours has elapsed.

“So if you’re buying a ready-made meal, the best rule is to buy no more than you and your guests can eat (at the holiday meal) — or at the latest, the next day,” Banks said.

GENEVA — The World Trade Organization has ruled that the U.S. Country of Origin Label-ing (COOL) law violates WTO rules.

The decision came in a ruling by a WTO dispute panel in sup-port of complaints by Canada and Mexico that COOL violates international trade rules and harms agricultural commerce. The dispute panel found the U.S. labeling law “affords im-ported livestock treatment less favorable than that accorded to like domestic livestock” and thus violates trade agreements.

The U.S. is likely to appeal the decision to the WTO Appellate Body. If the decision stands, an-alysts say the U.S. must amend the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 and the COOL regula-tions to conform U.S. law to the WTO decision, or otherwise resolve the dispute with Canada and Mexico.

Under the Agricultural Mar-keting Act of 1946 retailers are required to notify their custom-ers of the country of origin of muscle cuts and ground beef

(including veal), lamb, pork, chicken, goat; wild and farm-raised fish and shellfish; perish-able agricultural commodities; peanuts; pecans; ginseng; and macadamia nuts.

The Food Marketing Institute had praise for the WTO deci-sion and called for an end to the law.

A statement by FMI’s regu-latory counsel Erik Lieberman said, “The World Trade Organi-zation recognized what the su-permarket industry has known all along — that COOL is a pro-tectionist law designed to make it more costly and difficult for retailers to sell imported foods.

COOL has forced the industry to spend tens of millions of dollars each year on unnecessary regula-tory burdens all for little or no benefit to consumers.”

“The COOL law will need to be repealed or rewritten in order to the U.S. to meet its obliga-tions to global trading partners,” Lieberman stated.

He added that FMI looks for-ward to working with Congress and USDA to develop an alter-native system, “one that will provide useful information to consumers and put our nation in compliance with international trade agreements.”

primers and make PCR prod-ucts of each of 4,600 unique full-length genes. These PCR products next were used to construct microarrays by print-ing them onto glass slides.

These arrays were then used in various experiments, includ-ing surveying different salmo-nella serovars for gene content. These studies used the micro-arrays in comparative genomic hybridizations (CGH) analy-sis. This assay determines the presence or absence of genes in an unknown strain as com-pared to the control strain by hybridizing genomic DNA from a control strain and an unknown strain, each labeled with different colors, simulta-neously to the microarray. The ratio of hybridization signals to a gene determines the pres-ence or absence of that gene in the unknown strain as com-pared to the control strain. A

caveat to CGH of unsequenced strains is you can get presence or absence data only on genes in the control strain used to make the microarray, and can-not detect genes unique to the test strain. However, even with this limitation, the data gath-ered is very useful.

The relationships of serovars and phylogeny of salmonella had previously been deter-mined by Multi Locus Enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE) and sequencing of a few house-keeping genes. These experi-ments were done on a hand-ful of representative isolates in the Salmonella Reference Collection C (SARC). This data split the salmonella into two species, S. enterica and S. bongori, with S. enterica be-ing further divided into seven subspecies: I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IV, V, and VI.

The approximately 1,500 se-rovars in subspecies I colonize warm-blooded animals, are re-

sponsible for most human ill-nesses and thus are the focus of most research. To investi-gate the genetics behind this phylogeny, analysis of DNA through CGH was used to de-termine differences in gene content between members of the different salmonella spe-cies, subspecies and serovars in the SARC. The analysis found that all salmonella have about 3,900 conserved genes, 500 of which are not found in any of the other genuses of En-terobacteriaciea.

Salmonella enterica share an additional ~100 genes for a total core genome of ap-proximately 4,000 genes. The subspecies vary by up to 200 to 300 additional genes, and serovars within subspecies I vary by a few dozen up to a few hundred serovar-specific genes. Interestingly, when this data was used to determine a phylogenetic tree, it resulted in a tree very similar to one

previously identified by anal-ysis of MLEE data. However, through CGH, the genes that separate these groups are now defined, and many of these genes reflect the phenotypic differences between the bacte-ria. For example, when the ge-nus salmonella splits from the other Enterobacteriaceae, the 500 salmonella specific genes include Salmonella Pathoge-nicity Island 1 (SPI1), which encodes a complex secretion apparatus that enables colo-nization of the digestive tract. Salmonella enterica have an-other set of genes that differen-tiates it from Salmonella bong-ori; these encode SPI2 and the ability to invade macrophages and defend against the immune system of warm-blooded ani-mal hosts. It is almost certain that similar genetic differences like these determine variations in the phenotypes of host range, infectivity and virulence.

In addition to helping un-

derstand the genetics and evo-lution of salmonella, this re-search can be used to develop tools for typing and detection of salmonella serovars. If we use this technique to further differentiate the members of Subspecies I serovars, we can determine genes or patterns of genes that are serovar-specific. These genes can then be used as markers to identify specific serovars that are associated with outbreaks or more dan-gerous infections.

One of the goals was to de-velop an assay for determining salmonella serovar that was quicker, cheaper and more re-liable than traditional serotyp-ing. Traditional serotyping is slow (3-7 days), difficult, and expensive (~$40/isolate), and had a failure rate of about 8 percent. A collaboration with scientists at the Washington State Department of Health investigated this. The study began with a bioinformatics approach and analyzed the CGH data collected on various salmonella serovars to identify informative genes whose pat-terns of presence or absence help identify specific serovars. From this analysis, genes were selected that could differenti-ate between the 15 most prev-alent serovars of human iso-lates. PCR assays were devel-oped for each of these genes and tested on control strains. These assays were then com-bined into two multiplex PCR (m-PCR) assays for rapid anal-ysis of clinical isolates. Each assay in the multiplex yielded an amplicon of a different size that could be separated and scored by gel electrophoresis.

Testing of the assay showed that it identified more than 30 of the most prevalent clini-

WASHINGTON — Animal disease outbreaks can have major trade impacts. USDA Economic Research Service analysis of the ef-fects of the 2004 outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1-virus in Japan showed evi-dence of a willingness of Japanese consumers to substitute — for food safety reasons — processed dried egg products for fresh shell eggs.

These changes in preference af-fect U.S. exports of shell eggs and egg products.

ERS researchers divided Japan’s egg imports into shell eggs, non-dried egg products and dried egg products. Fresh eggs are the most likely to carry the virus on the shell surface as well as inside, while dried egg products are produced through heating that kills the virus.

Data on Japan’s egg imports

following the outbreak showed a change in demand in shell eggs and dried egg products. In the post-HPAI period, Japanese importing firms viewed the two products as closer substitutes for each other.

In addition, the demand for each class of products became more sen-sitive to price changes. Import de-mand for the safer dried egg prod-ucts increased and import demand for the nondried egg product and shell eggs weakened.

Despite reduced demand for shell eggs, shell egg imports still rose sixfold in 2005, due to the loss of Japanese layers to HPAI. The U.S. supplied the largest share — 38 percent — valued at $5.7 million. After 2006, as Japan’s layer flocks began to recover, shell egg imports decreased dramatically and imports of dried egg products rose.

Within the dried-egg product cat-egory, demand for U.S. exports of dried egg whites increased from 6

percent of Japan’s egg imports in 2004 to 42 percent (worth $6.03 million) in 2007.

By 2010, U.S. global export vol-umes of dried egg whites increased fourfold from 2004 (worth $13.17

million) and U.S. shipments to Ja-pan rose more than twelvefold.

The study has wide-ranging im-plications for global egg markets because it provided the first evi-dence for a possible substitution of

dried egg products for shell eggs.

rapidly. According to the Inter-national Energy Agency, world ethanol use increased by nearly 300 percent between 2000 and 2010, with consumption reaching more than 104 billion liters. Global ethanol trade nearly doubled during the same period, but at 5.9 billion liters in 2010, world trade is still a small share of total use.

World demand for ethanol is expected to continue to increase in response to anticipated economic growth, rising oil prices, and the mandates in many countries to replace fossil fuel use with renew-able energy sources. Brazil is in a good position to satisfy demand: sugarcane-based ethanol is one of the most efficient sources of biofuel per hectare, with a yield in liters of ethanol per hectare that is almost double that of corn-based ethanol, according to USDA.

The U.S. and the European Union (EU) are two of the major consuming markets for Brazilian ethanol. The U.S. Energy Indepen-dence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 requires transportation fuel producers to use at least 136 billion liters of biofuels by 2022.

The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) provision established under EISA mandates minimum use of 57 billion liters of corn-based ethanol by 2015, up from about 49 billion liters in 2010. The RFS also requires the use of at least 80 billion liters of cellulosic and advanced biofu-els (which includes ethanol from sugarcane and biodiesel) by 2022. The 54-cent per-gallon surcharge on imported ethanol is scheduled to expire at the end of 2011. If this happens, it may stimulate U.S. im-ports of Brazilian ethanol.

The EU’s Renewable Energy Di-rective sets a mandatory minimum share of renewable energy in total fuel consumption in the transport sector of 10 percent per member state by 2020. While biodiesel is the

principal biofuel used in Europe, the European Commission esti-mates that its ethanol consumption could rise from less than 5 billion liters in 2010 to about 10 billion li-ters by 2020. Several other import-ing countries, including Japan, have energy mandates that encourage the use of agriculture-based ethanol in their transportation sectors.

Expansion uncertainGlobal ethanol production, con-

centrated in only a few producing countries, may not keep pace with rapidly growing demand. Concerns about food and fuel tradeoffs may limit some countries’ ability to in-crease ethanol production, particu-larly production of ethanol from grains.

Based on USDA long-term pro-jections, Brazil’s ethanol produc-tion is expected to rise 45 percent during the coming decade to 43.8 billion liters by 2020. However, Brazil’s ability to provide the bulk of the world’s import needs will depend on its domestic ethanol de-mand, world sugar and oil prices, Brazil’s currency exchange rate and the capacity of its infrastructure to move ethanol to ports.

Growing domestic demand is certain to put pressure on Brazil’s export supply. Brazil is the world’s second largest ethanol consumer, behind the United States, and ac-counts for more than 30 percent of global ethanol consumption. Bra-zil’s domestic demand is projected to grow as sales of flex-fuel cars rise with increased income.

The world price of sugar is an important determinant of Brazil-ian ethanol supply. When the sugar price is high, more sugarcane is used for sugar; lower sugar prices favor conversion of sugarcane to ethanol. In 2009-10, drought in Brazil led to a smaller sugarcane harvest, declining stocks and high-er sugar import demand in major consuming countries such as India, China and Pakistan.

With higher international sugar prices, a larger share of the Brazil-ian sugarcane crop was allocated to sugar production. In late 2010, when the world sugar price fell to under 14 cents per pound from a 29-year high of 30 cents per pound earlier that year, the share of sugar-cane used for ethanol rebounded.

Although the ethanol blend re-quirement tends to insulate Brazil’s domestic ethanol prices from fluc-tuations in world oil prices, changes in the world price of oil affect the ethanol/gasoline price relationship in Brazil. When oil prices fall, etha-nol demand weakens. Conversely, higher world oil prices encourage increased use of ethanol in Brazil’s rapidly expanding fleet of flex-fuel vehicles.

Both real (adjusted for infla-tion) and nominal exchange rates have enormous effects on Brazil’s international competitiveness, ex-port volumes, farm earnings and processing margins for distilleries and sugar-ethanol processing mills. Brazil’s currency, the real, appreci-ated in 2009, making Brazil’s etha-nol exports more expensive and reducing the competitiveness of Brazil’s ethanol in the world mar-ket. Brazil’s ethanol exports slipped to 3.3 billion liters in 2009 and to 1.9 billion liters in 2010.

InfrastructureBrazil faces considerable infra-

structure and transportation con-straints along its ethanol supply chain. The bulk of ethanol is trans-ported from processing plants to collection centers and then to ports by truck. Adequate and modern road infrastructure is thus critical to maintain competitiveness in the industry. Poor roads impose even higher costs on farmers located in the Center-West frontier, where new distilleries are being estab-lished. The average distance from the Center-West region to export ports is more than 600 miles.

Large investments in mainte-

nance and expansion of road infra-structure are needed to keep up with the expected growth in demand and to lower delivery times and costs.

Brazil’s state-owned oil com-pany, PETROBRAS, plans to start building two ethanol pipe-lines by 2012 — a 715-mile-long pipeline from Goiás to the port of São Sebastião on the southeast coast and a 325-mile-long pipe-line from Minas Gerais to the port in Rio de Janeiro.

PETROBRAS estimates that the new pipelines, to be com-pleted by 2016, will accom-modate about 22 billion liters (doubling current transportation capacity) at about one-third the current cost of shipping ethanol by truck. The government has al-located $4.6 billion for improve-ments in port infrastructure by 2016.

Meeting demand?Several factors favor the abil-

ity of Brazilian ethanol produc-ers to increase production of ethanol from sugarcane and fill future global ethanol needs. Bra-zil has large areas of arable sa-vannas that could be brought into production of sugarcane without risk of deforestation.

Brazil’s Ministry of Agricul-ture, Livestock and Food Supply estimates the scope for cropland expansion in Brazil at 119 mil-lion hectares, with 69 million hectares in savannas and 50 mil-lion hectares from pastureland conversion. According to USDA long-term projections, an addi-tional 12 million hectares of Bra-zilian cropland will be brought into crop production during the next decade.

Technological advances to boost sugarcane yields per hect-are and efficiency gains in pro-ducing ethanol from sugarcane seem assured given the new technologies being generated by the Brazilian Corporation for

Agricultural Research.Brazil’s current yields of 90-

100 liters of ethanol per ton of sugarcane are projected to in-crease by an additional 80 per-cent during the next decade based on new technologies, including the use of crushed sugarcane stalks, or bagasse, for further processing of the sucrose con-tent for ethanol. The Brazilian Economic Development Bank has allocated $22 billion for in-vestments in 2011-14 to double the sector’s production capacity in the next decade. Plans for new investments in the construction of new distilleries will provide an additional 18 billion liters of ethanol production capacity in 2020, according to UNICA (the Brazilian sugarcane industry as-sociation).

A number of other conditions will be necessary for Brazil to fulfill a large part of future global ethanol demand. Sugar and crude oil prices will need to remain at levels that will encour-age increases in ethanol produc-tion beyond gains that can be realized through technological advances. Planned construction of pipelines and mill/port etha-nol storage capacity investments must occur. The policy environ-ment in which Brazil’s ethanol industry operates will also have a major influence on future pro-duction and investment trends.

The Brazilian government announced in April 2011 that Brazil’s National Petroleum Agency will regulate the chain of production of ethanol, includ-ing exports, to treat ethanol as a “strategic fuel” and no longer as an agricultural commodity, in an effort to provide a stable and reli-able supply of ethanol.

An easing of the government-mandated fuel alcohol content in gasoline would result in in-creased Brazilian sugar produc-tion and exports.

GARNER, N.C. — Butterball LLC recognized partici-pants of its fourth annual “Celebrate Turkey” Art Con-test during two ceremonies on Wed., Nov. 16. Butterball mascot, Buddy Butterball, along with company repre-sentatives visited participating Garner, N.C., elementary school teachers and students to announce the contest win-ners.

Butterball invited third grade student groups at par-ticipating elementary schools to create turkey-themed artwork in celebration of Thanksgiving, using the artis-tic medium of their choice. Six classes from two Garner elementary schools — Timber Drive and Polenta partici-pated in this year’s contest.

“Through programs like the Art Contest, Butterball is able to help educate students in our community about the role of agriculture in the state of North Carolina,” said Rod Brenneman, president and CEO of Butterball LLC. “It is wonderful to see the creativity and team work involved in the student art projects, much like the collab-orative team effort we experience at Butterball in the pro-duction of safe and healthy turkey products everyday.”

During the ceremonies, students from each class were presented certificates and $3 coupons toward Butterball turkeys to share with their families during the Thanksgiv-ing holiday. Winning students were awarded $20 coupons toward a Butterball turkey and will have their artwork displayed permanently in the memorabilia room at But-terball’s Garner headquarters.

To help raise awareness of the nutrition and care in-volved in raising turkeys, Butterball representatives pre-sented a display of turkey feeders, waterers, eggs, baby feed and bedding. Teachers of participating classes were also presented copies of Butterball’s fun and interactive “Celebrate Agriculture” Weekly Reader learning materi-als to help them continue classroom education of proper agriculture as it pertains to healthy animals, food and consumers, the company said.

Military wives who participated in Butterball’s 2011 Thanksgiving cooking session with Butterball U judged this year’s Celebrate Turkey artwork on Tues., Nov. 15, at the company’s headquarters. Submissions were judged based on visual creativity, originality and how well the artwork incorporated the contest’s theme of celebrating turkey.

cal isolates of Salmonella en-terica, representing about 75 percent of serovars found in human infections. This testing demonstrated that the method could be further developed into a clinical assay.

To develop the assay into one that was clinically useful, modifications and improve-ments were made. First, more serovars had to be identified. Second, the assay procedure and analysis needed to be sim-plified to improve speed and reduce hands-on time. Third, the detection method and scoring had to be automated for speed and to minimize technical errors. To achieve the first goal, bioinformatics were again used to identify ad-ditional target genes for more clinically relevant serovars. To achieve the second goal, these were combined into a single m-PCR with primer sets for detecting 15 genes. Thus, set-up was much easier, with a single m-PCR reaction for each isolate that could be performed in a 96-well plate format. The third goal was reached by modifying the as-say to produce fluorescently labeled PCR amplicons that could be detected by analysis on a standard capillary DNA sequencer.

By including a labeled DNA ladder as a size standard, scor-ing could be completely auto-mated. The end result was an assay that could identify 50 of the top clinical isolate se-rovars, could be set up in min-utes with little hands-on time, could be done in a 96-well plate format making it high-throughput and had automated interpretation with a simple web program (SERO, Center for Public Health Informatics,

School of Public Health, Uni-versity of Washington) which scored the output file from the ABI 3130xl sequencer soft-ware.

The new automated high-throughput assay was named salmonella multiplex assay for rapid typing, or SMART. To test the new automated meth-od and define patterns of genes detected for each serovar, ap-proximately 10 isolates of each of the top 50 clinical sal-monella serovars were tested. The assay successfully found patterns for these 50 salmonel-la serovars. The patterns were designated as SMART codes, created by concatenating the numbers of the amplicons de-tected for an isolate.

Although a few serovars shared SMART codes, these could be successfully differen-tiated by pulsed field gel elec-trophoresis (PFGE) data. In these cases, the PFGE pattern of the unknown isolate was used to search the PulseNet PFGE database for each pos-sible serovar. A match deter-mined the correct serovar. In the rare event no match was found, traditional serotyp-ing was completed, and the new SMART pattern was as-signed to this serovar. To test the assay, a blind study was completed on all clinical iso-lates collected in 2007 by the Washington State Department of Health. The results of this blind test showed that more than 85 percent of isolates were correctly identified with the SMART codes previously defined. The majority of those not identified in the blind test were new codes not detected during the SMART code de-termination period and can be added to the database of codes. This results in a real accuracy

of > 95 percent.Overall, the SMART as-

say is automated, requires no specialized training, has minimal hands-on time, can be completed in < 24 hours and costs $1.48/isolate versus traditional serotyping which costs ~$40.00/isolate. These characteristics make the tech-nique highly useful and would reduce the number of isolates requiring traditional serotyp-ing by at least 90 percent.

Genomic information can also be applied to detection assays by using bioinformatics to identify genes or sequences specific for salmonella se-rovars associated with food-borne outbreaks or dangerous strains. In collaboration with scientists at the University of Cork, Ireland, and the Univer-sity of Delaware, we devel-oped two such assays. These were both m-PCR assays that detected all Salmonella en-terica through the salmonella-specific oriC gene, which also serves as an internal PCR con-trol. This was combined with specific PCR primers for S. Choleraesuis and Paratyphi Cto create the first m-PCR as-say. The other m-PCR assay added specific primers for S. Typhimurium and Heidelbergto the oriC internal control.

Both m-PCR assays were further developed into quan-titative real-time PCR (Q-RT-PCR) assays to improve their sensitivity and allow the use of automated real-time PCR instruments. The assays were tested on spiked food samples including milk, cooked turkey, raw turkey and cheddar cheese. Following preenrichment in buffered peptone water sup-plemented with Novobiocin and selective enrichment with

Rappaport-Vassiliadis (RV) medium, both assays could detect salmonella and the spe-cifically targeted serovars at =1 CFU/ml of milk or gram of solid food. This method of assay development could po-tentially be employed to make detection assays for any sal-monella serovars or strains of interest, such as outbreak strains.

In summary, genomic data on pathogens like salmonella can be used to make applied and practical assays for identifica-tion and typing. Through the use of advanced high-through-

put DNA sequencing methods and the application of next-generation sequencing meth-ods, ever-increasing amounts of genomic data will be col-lected and stored in public da-tabases. This genomic data can then be used to develop new assays to meet the challenges these pathogens pose to human health, animal health and food safety.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Six hundred Honeysuckle White®

turkeys have been donated to the Arkansas Foodbank by turkey producer Cargill, through a partnership between the Poultry Federation and the foodbank. This special part-nership started four years ago to help the foodbank distribute turkeys to the food pantries, soup kitchens, senior centers and other programs that serve hungry Arkansans, the groups noted.

For more than 20 years, the Poultry Federation office in Little Rock has donated more than 280,000 pounds of turkeys to numerous central Arkansas charitable organizations to as-sist delivery of Thanksgiving meals to the hungry.

“Once again, Cargill’s gen-erous gift of turkeys this holi-day season has such a positive impact within the Central Ar-kansas community,” said Mar-vin Childers, president of the Poultry Federation. “We are pleased to help provide much-needed protein to our hungry neighbors, especially with a product we proudly produce. By partnering with the Ar-kansas Foodbank, who in turn partners with agencies that feed the hungry every day, we are able to use their existing infrastructure for distribution to hungry Arkansans.”

Foodbank Executive Direc-tor Phyllis Haynes said the charity relies on the federation to help with holiday meals, which may be a struggle for families that need food pantry help.

“We are so grateful for the

partnership with the Poultry Federation,” she said. “As you know, the number of people needing help has grown since the economy faltered, and childhood hunger is a serious and growing problem in Ar-kansas. The federation’s gen-erous gift of turkeys will ben-efit families that really need the help.”

Honeysuckle White is a partner with Feeding America and partners with them to help feed 2 million people in need. More information, assistance in turkey preparation, includ-

ing holiday meal planning, as well as kids’ activities can be obtained at http://www.honey-sucklewhite.com.

In 2010, Arkansas ranked third nationwide in turkey pro-duction raising 28 million tur-keys and producing more than 548 million pounds; with a production value of $340 mil-lion, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statis-tics Service.

More information can also be obtained from the Poultry Federation at http://www.the-poultryfederation.com.

AMERICANEGG BOARDHOTLINE

AEB Hotline appears regularly in Poultry Times and provides an update on programs and services provided for egg pro-ducers by the American Egg Board. Details on any item mentioned may be obtained by contacting AEB at 1460 Re-naissance Dr., Park Ridge, Ill. 60068. Phone: 847-296-7043.

l AEB recently conducted another successful Good Egg Project Community Break-fast alongside Northwest Egg Farmers. More than 700 peo-ple in need were fed in Seattle. More than 400 people gath-ered at the Filipino Commu-nity Center to enjoy a hearty breakfast and Good Egg Proj-ect activities while another 374 women received the remain-ing food at their local shelter nearby. Attendees commented on how grateful they were for the food and how much they enjoyed the Good Egg Project pledge sign, Incredible Egg chair and Chef Jeffrey Saad, which are always big hits.

The Northwest Egg Farmers made the event a true success by donating more than 70,000 eggs to Feeding America, in-cluding more than 60,000 eggs to Seattle’s largest food bank, Food Lifeline, and 10,000 eggs to Second Harvest in Kenneweck, Wash.! Food-Line’s CEO Linda Nageotte expressed sincere gratitude to have the support of their local egg farmers in the fight against hunger, especially providing foods that contain high-qual-

ity protein, like eggs.l This year, eggs basked

in the media spotlight. Since July, news about the lower cholesterol egg has taken over long-lead magazines and has even made experts, such as Dr. Oz, bust the cholesterol myth and expand on the many health benefits of eggs, as demon-strated in the Sept. 12 issue of Time magazine. AEB’s News Bureau impressions totaled more than 405 million, exceed-ing its goal by 84 percent.l Chef Jeffrey Saad and

eggs continue to be a per-fect match. Saad is currently filming Season 3 of Cooking Channel’s “United Tastes of America,” and is publishing a cookbook, “Jeffrey Saad’s Global Kitchen, Recipes with-out Borders,” set to release March 2012. Eggs appear on the cover of his cookbook and have their own chapter, “Eggs: The Protein Powerhouse,” along with 10 recipes.l Every two years, AEB

surveys the U.S. egg proces-sors to update their listing in the Buyers’ Guide. This year’s edition is available with a new section dedicated to egg product nutrient figures and specifications and is specifi-cally made available for food manufacturers, bakeries and foodservice operators to easily obtain the product and com-pany information to meet their purchasing requirements. This listing is also available online at AEB.org/food-manufactur-ers/egg-product-buyers-guide.

The Associated Press

MONTPELIER, Vt. — A folk artist expanding his home business built around the words “eat more kale” says he’s ready to fight root-to-feather to pro-tect his phrase from what he sees as an assault by Chick-fil-A, which holds the trade-mark to the phrase “eat mor chikin.”

Bo Muller-Moore uses a hand silkscreen machine to ap-ply his phrase, which he calls an expression of the benefits of local agriculture, on T- and sweat shirts. But his effort to protect his business from copycats drew the attention of

Chick-fil-A, the Atlanta-based fast-food chain that uses ads with images of cows that can’t spell displaying their own phrase on message boards.

In a letter, a lawyer for Chick-fil-A said Muller-Moore’s effort to expand the use of his “eat more kale” mes-sage “is likely to cause confu-sion of the public and dilutes the distinctiveness of Chick-fil-A’s intellectual property and diminishes its value.”

Chick-fil-A, which trails only Louisville, Ky.-based KFC in market share in the chicken restaurant chain in-dustry, has a long history of

guarding its trademark, and the letter listed 30 examples of attempts by others to co-op the use of the “eat more” phrase that were withdrawn af-ter Chick-fil-A protested. The Oct. 4 letter ordered Muller-Moore to stop using the phrase and turn over his web site, eat-morekale.com, to Chick-fil-A.

Muller-Moore, 38, of Mont-pelier, says he won’t do that.

“Our plan is to not back down. This feels like David versus Goliath. I know what it’s like to protect what’s yours in business,” he said.

So he has enlisted the help of Montpelier lawyer Daniel

Richardson and the intellectual property clinic at the Univer-sity of New Hampshire School of Law’s Intellectual Property and Transaction Clinic.

“Bo’s is a very different statement. It’s more of a philo-sophical statement about local agriculture and community-supported farmers markets,” Richardson said. “At the end of the day, I don’t think any-one will step forward and say they brought an ‘eat more kale’ shirt thinking it was a Chick-fil-A product.”

Chick-fil-A spokesman Don Perry said the company does not comment on pending legal matters.

Muller-Moore, who de-scribes himself as a folk art-ist who earns a living working as a foster parent for an adult with special needs, said he started using the phrase “eat more kale” in 2000. A farmer friend who grows kale, a leafy vegetable that grows well in Vermont and is known for its nutritional value, asked Muller-Moore to make three T-shirts containing the phrase for his family for $10 each.

A few weeks later, the friend told Muller-Moore that people kept asking for the shirts. The phrase helped him get his silk-screen business going, which he later expanded through the Internet. Now, he prints “eat more kale” on hooded sweat-shirts too. And he has the words printed on bumper stickers that are common throughout Cen-tral Vermont.

Five years ago, Muller-Moore said, he received a

similar cease-and-desist let-ter from Chick-fil-A, telling him to stop using the phase. A pro bono lawyer traded a handful of letters with Chick-fil-A on his behalf. After the letters stopped, Muller-Moore assumed the issue had been decided in his favor and kept making the products.

But as his business grew, Muller-Moore decided to pro-tect the phrase that became his unofficial trademark. He filed an application last sum-mer with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect “eat more kale.” The applica-tion is pending.

Vermont Law School profes-sor Oliver Goodenough, who specializes in intellectual and property law, said the kale ver-sus chikin fight reminded him of a case two years ago when a Morrisville micro brewer that makes a beer called “Vermon-ster” ran afoul of the Monster energy drink company. That case was settled when the makers of Vermonster agreed never to go into the energy drink business.

Goodenough said there was little likelihood consum-ers would confuse kale with chicken.

“This looks a bit like an ex-ample of over-enthusiasm for brand protection,” he said. “There are (law) firms in the United States that take this over-enthusiasm for brand protection seriously and be-lieve the more they can scare away the better. If folks aren’t deeply committed to this and it’s a funny byproduct, maybe they won’t fight it.”

Vt. artist: I’ll fight Chick-fil-A for my kale

WASHINGTON — USDA’s Food Safety & Inspection Service is proposing a new rule that will allow establishments to label a broader range of products without first submitting the label to FSIS for approval, should it become final.

Under the proposal, FSIS will continue to verify that labels are accurate, not mis-leading, and in compliance with all label-ing features. This rule is expected to benefit consumers because it will get new products into the marketplace sooner while still en-suring that they are not misbranded. Also, by making the label approval process more convenient and cost-effective, the industry, especially smaller producers, is expected to benefit from the rule.

“It is important that we make the label-ing process more effective and efficient, while still ensuring consumers have the best information available when shopping for food,” said Dr. Elisabeth Hagen, USDA undersecretary for food safety.

The rule proposes to modify the agency’s generic label approval process. Under the proposal, the generic label approval process would allow companies to use new labels or modify labels without first submitting such labels to FSIS. Under the proposed generic approval process, all mandatory label features would still need to comply with FSIS regulations.

The proposed rule is available on the FSIS website at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/regulations_&_policies/Proposed_Rules/index.asp.

The comment period will end on Feb. 3, 2012, and must be submitted through the federal eRulemaking portal at http://www.regulations.gov, or by mail to USDA, FSIS, OPPD, RIMD, Docket Clearance Unite, Patriots Plaza III, Rm. 8-164, 355 E St., S.W.., Washington, D.C. 20024-3221. All items submitted by mail or electronic mail must include the agency name and docket number FSIS-2005-0016.
