POULTRY TREND IN AFRICA
Compared to other regions, there is little egg trade – be it in shell or processed – in these regions. Shell egg exports from African countries are small, averaging less than 6,000 tonnes a year between 2006 and 2008. Only two countries are involved in this trade to any significant extent, South Africa and Zimbabwe

POULTRY EGG DROP DISEASES
POULTRY Egg drop may be defined as a sudden drop in egg production or a failure to achieve a normal peak in production. In the autumn of 1976 a distinct egg drop syndrome was first identified in Northern Ireland. Apparently a similar disease had been seen over a 4-year period in broiler parents in Holland. The cause has been identified as Adenovirus BC14, 127, first isolated in Northern Ireland in 1976.
It affects chickens and has occurred in Ireland, Holland, France, England, Germany, Spain, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina. Mortality is usually negligible. Circumstantial evidence suggests that the main route of transmission is through the eggs (vertical transmission) followed by latent infection during rear with viral excretion starting shortly before sexual maturity. Lateral transmission from bird to bird is slow and may be prevented or slowed for weeks by netting divisions.

INSECT CONTROL IN POULTRY
Insects can be problematic in both pasture and confinement settings, said Ralph Williams, professor of entomology at Purdue. Cattle and poultry are especially vulnerable.
