Here is an update of our poultry house as we have great plans of introducing poultry project within our programmes.
We hope that by the end of this month,when we have introduced the first phase,bought all the poultry keeping equipment and all the necessary feeds.
Then it will be wow to train young people about poultry keeping

"By October 2024, almost 4,000 #greenhouses were destroyed, #orchards were bulldozed, & almost all #cows, #sheep & #poultry were eliminated. By April 2025, more than 80% of Gaza’s #farmland had been destroyed..."

We have hope that this week,we will have our poultry house finished and ready to provide shelter to the birds after the provision of all the necessary poultry house requirements like drinkers and food troughs.

Can anyone tell me what kind of chickens these are?

"#Kosher consumers in the #UnitedStates may have to rethink their #RoshHashana brisket after a fire devastated one of the country's largest #koshermeat processing plants. The fire has put more than 600 people out of work in a town of under 3,000 residents.

The fire on Tuesday that destroyed most of the #AgriStar #Meat and #Poultry processing plant in #Postville, #Iowa means that there will most likely be a shortage of kosher meat ahead of the #HighHolidays, and the meat and poultry that is available will be more expensive.

"The damaged facility means a significant portion of kosher #beef and #chicken slaughtered and sold in the #US will not enter the kosher supply chain. Kosher consumers will feel the impact of the tightening supply with reduction of availability," #Rabbi #MosheElefant, CEO of #OUKosher, which provides kosher certification for the plant, said in a statement."

Excerpt: "What Works Under Solar Panels

Sheep and Poultry: #SheepGrazing is well-established at solar sites, they benefit from shade, don't damage equipment, and manage vegetation. #Poultry also do well. Larger animals require reinforced racking; goats and pigs may interfere with wiring.

#Hay and #Pasture: Shading reduces yields, but shade-tolerant species (#orchardgrass, #WhiteClover) maintain reasonable productivity.

#Vegetables: #LeafyGreens, #brassicas, and some #herbs tolerate #PartialShade. Sun-loving crops should be planted between panel rows.

Fruit: Most fruit crops need full sun. Currants and gooseberries are more tolerant. Start small to observe actual impacts." [Raspberries do well in partial sun]."

The H5N1 virus can be fatal to roaming cats and dogs

“Pet cats and dogs which come into contact with sick birds could capture H5 bird flu themselves and all mammals are susceptible to H5 bird flu, so that includes our pet cats and dogs...And it’s generally good practice to keep your pets away from wildlife anyway.” >>
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/jun/29/h5n1-bird-flu-australia-risk-to-pets

Keep your cat/s locked inside and your dog/s on a leash.

There seems to be great concern for Australia's introduced mono-culture of canines (cats and dogs) rather for the incredible irretrievable endemic bio-diversity.

Extreme #heat wave in #France kills hundreds of thousands of #poultry

https://news.mongabay.com/short-article/2026/06/extreme-heat-wave-in-france-kills-hundreds-of-thousands-of-poultry/

Record temperatures have been causing mass poultry deaths in western France since June 22, Reuters reported. The heat wave, with temperatures exceeding 40° Celsius (104° Fahrenheit), is also behind the drowning of 40 people. Météo-France, the French national weather service, wrote in a statement that June 24 and 25 were the hottest days recorded in France since records began in 1947.

The spotted-tailed or tiger quoll is mainland Australia's largest carnivorous marsupial.

Conservation:
They face significant threats from habitat loss, feral foxes, and dogs.

Threats:
* loss, fragmentation and degradation of suitable quoll habitat through land clearing, change in fire patterns and logging

* loss of potential den sites such as large hollow logs

* foxes and cats which prey on quolls and also compete with them for food
feral cats can also spread diseases which affect quolls

* persecution by humans, who have often blamed quolls for the loss of stock and poultry. >>

From poultry flu to wild bird flu - H5N1

* "Every outbreak of bird flu in Australian from 1976 to 2024 has arisen on a large, commercial poultry farm."
https://poultry-research.sydney.edu.au/bird-flu-must-knows/

* A suspected bird flu case was detected on mainland Australia

"Australia had been the last continent free of this deadly strain of bird flu."

"Infection usually happens after close contact with infected poultry — for example, chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese – or contaminated environments."

"In the US, for example, since the arrival of this virus they've had to cull and destroy over 200 million chickens."

"In February 2025 the H7N8 strain was detected at multiple poultry farms in Victoria's north-east." >>

I just received an email newsletter from #MDACF regarding #HPAI. It's not looking good...

From the memo [in PDF format]:

"Avian Influenza (HPAI) Notices:

Due to the continuing US outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in domesticated and wild birds and in dairy cattle, Animal Health Officials from all six #NewEnglandStates are united in advising the following for agricultural fairs, competitions, exhibitions, shows, swaps, or other in-person events that encourage the gathering or co-mingling of birds and/or cattle:

Avian species

The New England State Veterinarians strongly discourage the exhibition of domestic and wild waterfowl species and may recommend delaying or canceling domestic fowl or poultry shows. If events are held, best practices for biosecurity should be implemented. Waterfowl exhibitions are currently banned in MA through April 30, 2026, which may be extended.

Bovine species

The New England State Veterinarians strongly discourage the exhibition of any bovines, including both dairy and beef cattle, that have been present in any state at the time that state had a current outbreak of HPAI in cattle.

Bovines that have been shipped from currently affected states in 2026 should not be allowed on the premises of New England fairs or shows. Moving to or from an affected state for any reason will void any New England Fair and Show Season Official Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (OCVIs) that have been issued for such cattle for the remainder of the 2026 season.

The states currently affected by HPAI in cattle can be found on the USDA website..."

#Molecular characterisation of novel #reassortants of the G57 #genotype of low-pathogenic avian #influenza #H9N2 virus isolated from #poultry #farms in #Malaysia

Source: Archives of Virology, https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00705-024-06159-4

Abstract
In late 2017, Malaysia reported repeated outbreaks of low-pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAI) H9N2 infections in commercial poultry flocks. Two H9N2 viruses, A/chicken/Malaysia/Negeri Sembilan/UPM994/2018 and A/chicken/Malaysia/Johore/UPM2033/2019, which were isolated from breeder and layer flocks in Peninsular Malaysia, were characterised in this study. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that both viruses were multiple-genotype reassortant strains with genes originating from Y280-like (HA gene), F/98-like (NS, NP and PA), G1-like (M and PB2), and Korean-like (PB1) lineages, indicating that they belong to a novel genotype that is divergent from the G57 lineage of Chinese origin. Both isolates were predicted to have a dibasic cleavage site (333-PSRSSRGLF-341) in the HA gene cleavage locations. Thus, the novel Malaysian H9N2 strain is a Y280-like virus resembling H9N2 isolates from Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, and Cambodia. This virus is of the G57 lineage but has a novel genotype of the PB1 gene originating from a Korean-lineage H9N2 virus, which has not been detected before in the region.

Two H9N2 viruses, A/chicken/Malaysia/Negeri Sembilan/UPM994/2018 and A/chicken/Malaysia/Johore/UPM2033/2019, which were isolated from breeder and layer flocks in Peninsular Malaysia, were characterised in this study. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that both viruses were multiple-genotype reassortant strains with genes originating from Y280-like (HA gene), F/98-like (NS, NP and PA), G1-like (M and PB2), and Korean-like (PB1) lineages, indicating that they belong to a novel genotype that is divergent from the G57 lineage of Chinese origin. Both isolates were predicted to have a dibasic cleavage site (333-PSRSSRGLF-341) in the HA gene cleavage locations. Thus, the novel Malaysian H9N2 strain is a Y280-like virus resembling H9N2 isolates from Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, and Cambodia. This virus is of the G57 lineage but has a novel genotype of the PB1 gene originating from a Korean-lineage H9N2 virus, which has not been detected before in the region.

Abstract
Avian influenza viruses (AIVs) regularly circulate between wild and domestic bird populations. Following several high-profile outbreaks, highly pathogenic AIVs (HPAIV) with zoonotic potential have been the subject of increasing attention. While we know that HPAIV is transmitted between domestic birds, wildlife, and the environment, little is known about persistence and spillover/back at these interfaces. We integrated the test results of samples collected on and around an infected domestic poultry premise (IP) where H5N1 HPAIV was confirmed in a flock of poultry in 2022 in Southern Ontario, Canada to explore the transmission cycle of AIVs in wildlife and the environment. We sampled a captive flock of Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) that resided on site, sediment samples collected from water bodies on site, and examined samples collected through surveillance within a 100 km radius of the IP from live wild ducks and sick and dead wildlife. We found serologic evidence of H5 exposure in the captive mallards that resided on site despite no evidence of morbidity or mortality in these birds and no PCR positive detections from samples collected at two different timepoints. Genetic material from the same H5N1 HPAIV subtype circulating in the domestic birds and from low pathogenicity avian influenza viruses were detected in wetlands on site. The results of live and sick and dead surveillance conducted within a 100 km radius confirmed that the virus was circulating in wildlife before and after IP confirmation. These results suggest that biosecurity remains the most critical aspect of minimising spillover/back risk in a virus that has been shown to circulate in asymptomatic wild birds and persist in the surrounding environment.
