Chair’s Report Teaching remains a cornerstone of the PRC and the abilities of the graduate students at both the MSc and PhD levels are a solid indicator that we are continuing to excel in this area. Their passion and enthusiasm when discussing their work is contagious.The quality of students at the PRC is a reflection of the excellent teachers and inspiring learning environment at the PRC. The students’ excellence is also reflected in awards they receive nationally and internationally including awards from the Poultry Science Association during their Annual Meeting last year.

During the past year, the Poultry Research Centre (PRC) continued to face the challenges posed by the ongoing economic climate where financial resources are increasingly difficult to obtain. The staff of the PRC has again shown that they are willing and able to meet these challenges with hard work and diligent management. On behalf of the Advisory Board of Directors, I want to thank you all for your efforts.

Congratulations are in order for Drs. Jianping Wu and Mirko Betti for having been granted tenure by the University of Alberta. In addition to rewarding their individual efforts, this achievement shows the success of the original concept of the PRC which included the addition of value-added poultry product research and researchers to the existing group. Their research and teaching abilities have contributed to the overall success of the PRC and will give us momentum as we prepare for the future.

The departure of Dr. Fasenko for a new academic position in the United States left the PRC without an embryologist. To fill the gap, the PRC established an international collaboration with Dr. Sander Lourens from Wageningen UR Livestock Research. Dr. Lourens visited the PRC in the fall of 2010. During the visit, he met with representatives from hatcheries in Alberta, gave seminars to PRC researchers and guests, taught an undergraduate course, and met with graduate students. Dr. Lourens and the PRC researchers developed a plan for future research and educational collaborations.

At the end of 2010, one of our original Advisory Board members, Lloyd Johnston, passed away. Lloyd was always a very capable and enthusiastic supporter of the PRC and the concept of industry support for research. His advice and guidance will be greatly missed in many parts of the industry.

Now that the PRC has established a framework of success based on collaborative funding from industry, university and funding consortiums, it is vital that we do not lose this momentum as we head into the next five years. Governments are no longer willing to be the sole supporters of research and are going to expect to see solid commitments from all industry participants before they come to the table. I urge all of our members to encourage the organizations which they represent to continue with their excellent support for the Poultry Research Centre.

“It takes a village to raise a child.”

It takes a community of dedicated individuals from the university, industry and government with a vision for a sustainable poultry industry in Alberta and Canada to create a successful partnership that will take the poultry industry into a bright and prosperous future.

In 1986, 25 years ago, a group of poultry industry stakeholders and leaders agreed that they needed to unite their efforts to create a better future for the poultry industry in Alberta. As a result, they established the Poultry Research Centre. What has started as a small group of three researchers and four technicians has grown to a collaborative community of almost 90 researchers, graduate students, and staff who conduct research, provide learning opportunities for students and professionals, and transfer knowledge. With industry, funders, government and university leaders on the PRC Board of Directors, the Centre is aligned with industry needs and priorities and well supported financially.

In October 2010, the PRC Board directed the PRC to engage the poultry industry and poultry stakeholders in discussion on R&D strategic priorities for the next five years. In February 2011, the PRC organized an R&D Industry Priorities Forum to learn about industry issues and to discuss opportunities, priorities and research needs that could be addressed through research at the PRC. The priority themes focused on consumer confidence, enabling and supporting sustainable production systems, developing or producing enhanced value-added products (food and

2010-2011 was very productive for the PRC Team: the team attracted over $2.5 million dollars for research, conducted 37 research projects and trained 41 graduate students, 16 Post Doctoral Fellows and Research Associates. Our researchers and students published 34 research papers in peer reviewed journals and delivered 43 presentations at scientific conferences as well as 99 presentations at scientific and industry meetings. Drs. Betti and Wu obtained 3 patents for innovations. To read more about our research results and learning at the PRC, see the PRC Annual Report.

We were very honoured this year by two Awards established at the Poultry Research Centre. Our Chairman, Don Copeland, and his wife, Mary Ann Copeland, established a Graduate Student Travel Award. This award will enable a graduate student to travel to share research findings with poultry stakeholders. Thank you, Don. Thank you, Mary Ann. We are grateful and humbled by your generous gift.

The Alberta Chicken Producers funded a Graduate Award in honour of Lloyd Johnston, former General Manager of the Alberta Chicken Producers, who passed away on December 22, 2010. Lloyd was a member of the PRC Board, a strong supporter of the Centre and a valued colleague and friend to many of us at the PRC. Every year, over the next 7 years, one student with first class academic standing will be recognized for excellence in research and learning by the Lloyd Johnston Award.

Thank you to the PRC Researchers, Students, Staff and collaborators for all your hard work in searching for real solutions to the very real challenges facing our poultry industry and in creating an inspiring environment for research, learning and sharing knowledge.

Thank you to our Board of Directors for their guidance in staying relevant to what is important.

…. And the CPRC Award goes to….

Dr. Clover Bench Joins the PRC Team

In June 2010, Kathleen Vail received the 2010 CPRC scholarship supplement. CPRC, in cooperation with NSERC, is offering a supplement to recipients of NSERC postgraduate scholarships. Kathleen started her MSc program in September 2009 under supervision of Dr. Lynn McMullen. Her project is investigating physiological responses of Listeria monocytogenes to environmental conditions (oxygen level, temperature, osmolarity, pH) commonly experienced during meat processing.

The Chair of the Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutritional Science, Dr. Erasmus Okine, announced the appointment of Dr. Clover Bench, Assistant Professor (contract), Applied Ethology as of September 1, 2010.

There is increasing public scrutiny concerning the impact that modern production systems have on the health and welfare of food producing animals. With the recent appointment of Dr. Clover Bench, the PRC is now better positioned to take on some of these emerging issues.

Recent Graduates: We are very proud of our recent graduates and we wish them all the best in their future careers.

Ms. Jacky Chan (Dr. Mirko Betti) completed MSc project titled “Protein functionality in turkey meat”. Jacky’s research focused on pale, soft and exudative (PSE) condition in turkey meat known to affect meat quality and production of processed foods.

Jacky studied the biochemical, functional, rheological, and textural properties of proteins in turkey breast meat at different pH levels under fresh and frozen conditions. She reported that meat with low and normal pH had similar properties suggesting similar extent of protein denaturation.

Jacky also reported lower water holding capacity in meat with low pH. However, the high pH meat had similar or better functional properties than normal pH meat. When high pressure processing was applied, the water holding capacity and gel forming ability of low pH meat have improved.

Ms. Deborah Yu (Dr. Wendy Wismer) completed MSc project titled “Consumer and sensory perceptions of black bone discoloration in broiler chickens”.

Deborah interviewed consumers and Canadian poultry processors to understand the overall perception of bone-in chicken. She reported that food safety, eating quality, price, health and convenience were revealed as the most important values associated with chicken meat. Black bone discolorations did not greatly influence consumer acceptance of broiler meat, nor did it appear to negatively impact the poultry industry as complaints were reported rarely.

Modifying broiler bone growth rate through dietary treatments did not significantly alter the sensory properties of the meat or reduce the incidence of discoloration.

Mr. Jacob Hamidu (Drs. Leluo Guan and Dan Barreda) completed PhD project titled “Biological Factors Affecting Poultry Embryo Quality” .

Jacob investigated reduced embryonic performance in commercial broiler and turkey incubation. He studies physiological, cellular and molecular changes arising from genetic selection, parent flock age and or egg storage on embryonic metabolism, cell viability and gene expression in two poultry species. Jacob measured Embryonic Heat

Production to evaluate metabolic status of two turkey genetic strains (Nicholas and Hybrid) and four flock ages (30, 34, 55 and 60 weeks).

Jacob’s research has showed that embryos of older flocks had higher Embryonic Heat Production than all other flock ages suggesting that embryos from older flocks could be overheating during the later part of incubation.

The Embryonic Heat Production concept could assist incubator manufacturers and hatchery managers tailor incubation temperatures to increase embryo survival.

Jacob also monitored Embryonic Heat Production in two Ross 308 broiler breeder egg storage over 4 days and 14 days to assess the impact of long-term egg storage on embryonic metabolism. He observed that an increment in egg storage duration can cause activation of apoptotic cell death mechanisms at the blastodermal level, which can be one of the molecular mechanisms that led to the reduced daily embryonic growth and metabolism observed in 14 d stored eggs.

The results of the thesis suggest that there are molecular and cellular implications of long-term egg storage that could lead to reduced embryo quality and lowered hatchability.

Therefore, longer storage of eggs should be minimized if possible.

Mr. Sen Li (Dr. Jianping Wu) completed MSc thesis titled “Reduction of allergenicity of egg white proteins by fermentation” Egg is one of the major food allergens that affects 1.6~3.2% of the infants and young children population. Sen Li applied lactobacilli or Aspergillus oryzae fermentation to reduce the egg white allergenicity. Egg whites were fermented by Lactobacilli sanfranciscensis, Lactobacilli sakei, and Lactobacilli delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii individually for 96 hours; and Aspergillus oryzae for 120 hours. Sen Li reported that the allergenicity of egg white was significantly reduced (~50%) by Lactobacilli delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii after 48 hours of incubation and almost eliminated by Aspergillus oryzae after 24 hours of inoculation. In addition to slight modification of ovomucoid (the dominant egg allergen), no substantial protein degradation was observed during fermentation.

This Year'’s Highlights (cont.)

Yuliya Hrynets (Dr. Betti) completed MSc Thesis titled “Protein isolates from mechanically Separated Turkey meat”.

Consumer preference has shifted over the years from purchasing whole birds to poultry parts such as breasts, thighs and wings. The remaining edible material tissues are extracted through mechanical separation to produce Mechanically Separated Turkey Meat, a finely ground, paste -like product.

A new technology, based on acid solubilization with the aid of citric acid and calcium chloride has been developed to recover proteins and remove fat and pigments from Mechanically Separated Turkey Meat to make the resulting product more acceptable for the production of furtherprocessed meat products.

Consumer prefer cut-up and value-added poultry meat products over a whole bird. To meet the new demand, broilers have been selected for rapid growth, high breast meat yield and high feed efficiency; however, high breast yield broiler flocks have poor body weight uniformity.

Variation in broiler body weight uniformity decreases production efficiency for processors as their automated processing equipment requires carcasses to be within a narrow body weight range.

Sahar Navidghasemizad - PRC Graduate Student Assistantship

Erica investigated if pullet feed management and hen nutrition can improve breeder flock uniformity, chick quality and broiler uniformity. She observed that feed treatments had a significant effect on female body weight and carcass trait uniformity at 22 weeks of age, with sorting and scatter treatments having the highest uniformity estimates, compared to limited daily, skip-a-day and fibre-dilute programs. Feed and premix treatments did not affect traits after 22 weeks or age as individual caging at 22 weeks of age unified female body weight uniformity across all treatments. Feed treatments did not affect the uniformity of age at sexual maturity, first egg characteristics or production parameters. Premix treatment resulted in decreased shell uniformity and increased uniformity of one

Research Highlights Can beta-glucan replace salt in processed meats? McMullen is attempting to control listeria in ready-to-eat Food scientist Mirko Betti may have scored a major victory in the battle to reduce sodium in processed meats while maintaining their texture.

Betti and his team found that beta-glucan can be used to partially replace sodium in processed chicken breast meat while maintaining the texture consumers expect.

Sodium is a common additive used in the meat industry for its ability to add texture and flavour. However, recent studies have increasingly shown a link between the overconsumption of sodium and increased risks of hypertension and cardio-vascular disease.

In an attempt to reduce sodium and eliminate phosphates, which some producers have been using in processed meat products to reduce sodium, Betti and his team tested betaglucan derived from oats in temperature assisted high pressure processing of reduced sodium ground chicken breast meat.

The processing method, which is a relatively new technology, combined with the beta-glucan substitution, lead to a reduction of more than half the sodium content while maintaining the meat’s texture. Indeed, in laboratory experiments, sodium was reduced from 2.5 per cent of the processed meat to one per cent with 0.3 per cent betaglucan.

meat products via interventions such as post packaging pasteurization, a technology that could be more cost effective and readily adopted by small to medium sized processors.

McMullen and her students have also used cultures of lactic acid bacteria to control Listeria in fresh meat products.

When combined with antimicrobials, the bacteria are able to prevent the growth and even kill listeria. This finding is significant for industry because most current chemical or microbial interventions simply prevent growth.

Application of these of intervention strategies will help to reduce incidents of foodborne illness and will provide industry with validated tools to produce safer products for consumers.

Exploring the health benefits of egg proteins New research at the Poultry Research Centre on the bioactive proteins contained in eggs is generating encouraging results.

Ovomucin, the primary contributor to the viscous nature of egg whites, is showing promise as an anti-viral, anti-tumor, macrophage-stimulating and cholesterol lowering agent. In addition, the protein is a rich source of sialic acid and can therefore be developed as an infant dietary supplement to enhance brain development.

The addition of beta-glucan adds anti-oxidant properties to the meat, the first time this has been done. Beta-glucan has Dr. Jianping Wu of the University of Alberta has developed a been shown to reduce heart disease by lowering cholesterol new method to extract ovomucin (patent approved), which he is using to explore the full potential of the protein. At the levels. same time, Dr. Wu is also actively engaged in researching Researcher develops novel approaches to fight bioactive peptides, specific protein fragments, as they may listeria positively affect human health.

early stages of their production cycle. Conversely, tibia and femur bones had a higher calcification rates in embryos from hens in the mid to late stages of their production cycle.

The pressure on Western Canadian wheat supplies from strong global demand, the growth of bio-ethanol sector and Femur and tibia bones were thicker in embryos from mid production hens as compared to early and late hen ages. increasing input costs is driving up the cost of wheat. This This suggests that concepts of chick quality may be more may force Western Canadian livestock and poultry complex than believed. producers to look at alternative, lower cost feedstuffs to take the place of wheat.

An increased ability to mount an innate immune response

Making the most of feed sources

Triticale has a comparative advantage over wheat in terms of input costs. Since it is a minor grain and has limited applications for human food, there is less competition for local supplies and so triticale could be a cost-competitive, alternative feed grain for broilers. There is however limited data regarding nutrient digestibility in modern triticale varieties for broilers.

Dr. Eduardo Beltranena from Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development and his research team compared nutrient digestibility among samples of 4 different varieties of triticale (‘Bunker’, ‘Alta’, ‘Pronghorn’ and ‘Tyndal’) and 2 mixed samples of Canadian Prairie Spring wheat.

The research team concluded that nutrient digestibility in the triticales was equal or better than that in the wheat samples. They also suggested that, subject to availability and cost relative to wheat, chicken producers can consider triticale as a viable alternative to wheat in broiler diets.

No thanks…I’m too hot to eat

may be particularly important if growth-promoting antibiotics are removed from the broiler industry.

Working together….your blueprint for success A Team of researchers led by Dr. Carney together with hatching egg producers and hatcheries are striving to identify best management practices that support high rates of hatchability. The project has completed the first of three years by collecting on farm data from 14 flocks.

The Alberta hatching egg producers and allied industry partners participated in the Envisioning the Future workshop and the Assessing Fertility on Farm workshop.

Their strong engagement is an indication of the collective determination to reach success.

Benefits to poultry value chain participants of providing new producer incentives for improved quality

Dr. Zuidhof conducted a study to determine the impact of temperature on broiler breeder and broiler energy requirements found that weather plays an increasingly important role in feed allocation decisions for broiler breeders. Because most of the energy in breeder diets goes to maintenance of the body, a 50C change in barn temperature can influence daily gains by 50% or more! In this research we also confirmed that female broilers respond less to increased dietary protein levels. High protein levels appear to contribute more to heat stress in female broilers than males. Sex-separate broiler nutrition can be economically beneficial.

Research on novel quality traits in poultry and on identifying new ways of producing value-added poultry products has recently advanced significantly. However, questions remain with regard to the implementation of these innovations on the producer side. The project by a graduate student, Huiting Huang and Dr. Bodo Steiner, focuses on the design of an improved system of compensation measures that explicitly reward poultry producers for the supply of novel chick quality traits. The researchers are investigating an approximate market values for quality traits (breast yield, wing yield, leg yield etc.) with aim to design acceptable price premiums/discounts for each quality trait under the constraint of supply management; and to estimate the key impacts of the novel reward scheme on industry stakeholders.

Young or old…who makes the best mothers?

Antibiotic free production…at what cost?

It has been shown that the maternal diets can affect the development of offspring. A recent study by Dr. Korver evaluated innate immune function and bone development of chicks from different aged breeders. The study showed that the innate immune function of chicks appears to be most effective at neutralizing E. coli when hens are at the

Dr. Zuidhof reported that the cost of production differs very little between conventional and antibiotic free systems. In fact, strain and nutrition appeared to play a clearer role in production costs than antibiotic usage. He also confirmed that a high plane of nutrition in the first 2 weeks of the broiler cycle results in high value broilers.
