Chicken farms and the reality of food production in Britain | Letters (The Guardian)
|

Richard Griffiths and Will Raw respond to an article by George Monbiot in which he argues that industrial poultry farming is killing our riversGeorge Monbiot is wrong in his belief that chicken farms harm rivers (Besieged by lobbyists, will UK ministers protect our ecosystems? No, they'll chicken out, 23 July). Our farms have no direct contact with the soil and operate under permits issued and regulated by the Environment Agency, giving transparency on how manure is managed on site and where it goes when it leaves.The chicken manure produced in the UK is used either for energy generation or as a fertiliser by other farming sectors. Each destination has full traceability, and manure will often be transported across the country to be used where it is most needed. Continue reading......

BMO Says Return Of Mexican Cattle Is "Clear Positive" For Two Beaten-Down Meatpackers
Following the USDA's announcement that it will begin lifting the year-long ban on Mexican live cattle imports on Aug. 24, BMO Capital Markets senior equity research analyst Andrew Strelzik called the decision a "key positive" for publicly traded meatpackers Tyson Foods and JBS.
The restrictions were imposed to combat the New World screwworm, a flesh-eating parasite that threatens livestock. Restoring Mexican cattle flows should gradually ease tight U.S. supplies, improve slaughterhouse utilization, and support beef-processing margins.
"A combination of recent beef plant closures and the recovery of Mexican cattle imports should create a path to U.S. beef packer margin improvement," Strelzik wrote in a Monday morning note, identifying a potential new tailwind for Tyson Foods and JBS.
Strelzik outlined more color:
Combination of recent beef plant closures and recovery of Mexico...

Industrial chicken farming accelerating spread of diarrhoea bacteria, study finds (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Intensive nature of modern chicken farming creates ideal conditions for campylobacter, allowing bacteria to evolveIndustrial chicken farming is accelerating the spread of the world's most common bacterial cause of diarrhoea, scientists have found.The study found a dramatic increase in the exchange of campylobacter strains between wild birds and chickens as farming has intensified, creating the ideal conditions for the bacteria to mix, spread and acquire new traits. There has also been a rise in antimicrobial resistance traits in circulating strains, raising concerns that serious illness in people will be more difficult to treat. Continue reading......

Am I a chicken-shop lefty? Here′s what a French fast food row taught me about politics | Coco Khan (The Guardian)

Feathers are flying over the halal chicken chain Master Poulet opening a branch in gentrified Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine – it's an issue of wealth and class we know only too wellHow do you like your progressive politics? Are you net-zero left or anti-identity politics left? A “legalising drugs” kind of radical or someone whose public sector solidarity includes police? Nato or Nat-no? The reputation for infighting in lefty spaces – where policy disagreements harden into personal tests of morality – needs neither introduction nor encouragement.But reading about the left-on-left battle at Master Poulet, a French chicken chain that just opened its first UK branch, I found myself mulling a question that felt more than a little personal: am I chicken shop left?

US To Resume Mexican Cattle Imports After Yearlong Screwworm Ban
Authored by Kimberly Hayek via The Epoch Times,
The United States said on Friday it will end a ban on imports of Mexican cattle implemented more than a year ago to combat the New World screwworm (NWS), a flesh-eating livestock pest that has already made it into Texas and New Mexico.

In its announcement, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said it would coordinate a phased reopening of southern cattle ports beginning Aug. 24.
USDA officials said the United States will first start taking Mexican cattle again at Douglas, Arizona, with two more ports in New Mexico to follow.
The reopening will be staged and depends on Mexico sticking to its New World screwworm control plan. Officials called the move safe to begin now.
Ports in Arizona and New Mexico sit farther from the heaviest infestations in Mexico, livestock traders noted, which low...
