  1. BC Poultry Premise Identification Initiative Solvej Patschke M.Sc. P.Ag. Ministry of Agriculture and Lands April 11, 2006

  2. Outline • Background • History of poultry database and identifying premises in 2004, 2005 AI • Moving Forward- Premise ID initiative • National Initiatives (CCIA/ CLIA/ traceability) • Benefits

  3. Background • Emergency preparedness has become an important initiative for poultry industry (past AI events in FV, media coverage AI around world) • Without a system in place to accurately map and identify poultry premises and barns in affected areas, emergency response would be ineffective and potential exists for much greater economic losses • Estimated 2004 AI outbreak cost BC Poultry Industry over $63 million, estimated gross economic cost of $380 million

  4. History • A database of poultry premises was created during the 2004 AI for the Emergency Response Command Centre • Database: poultry premises, testing, contact information etc. • Took time to compile information as it was not previously available in 1 database

  5. History • After the outbreak, database given back to 4 poultry boards to maintain with current information on all producers • 4 boards: Angela McKee became lead • Basic contact information recorded (address, phone, contact name etc) • 2005 AI event: database and how properties were identified needed to be improved

  6. MAL Mapping

  7. Moving Forward Premise ID Initiative • National Premise ID • Canadian Livestock Identification Agency (CLIA) - Mike Dexter • Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA) – Brett McConkey • Premises “geo-referenced” – can be mapped quickly • Contact information in central database

  8. Traceability • Traceability includes 3 main elements: • Animal identification • Premises identification • Movement tracking • CLIA developed national standards

  9. Premise ID Initiative BC Assessment Jurol / legal addressfor parcel Parcel = Premise Barns = Sub premises National Premise ID BC7WP27L9

  10. Premise ID Initiative • CCIA- Premise Location Allocator • Premise Attributes: • Legal land description / Jurol • Contact information • Type of Premise (Farm, barn, hatchery, rendering plant etc) • Location of barns (x,y) - orthophotos

  11. Information secure • Access controlled

  12. Premise ID Initiative • Industry-led initiative (government supported) • Goals: • To accurately, efficiently and uniquely identify all regulated BC poultry premises and barns while working towards full chain traceability • To instill confidence in our stakeholders regarding our preparedness in a foreign animal disease situation

  13. Premise ID Initiative- Objectives • To have a central database that contains accurate premise and barn identification and contact information for all regulated BC poultry premises and barns • To ensure the process and database is concurrent with national initiatives (CCIA/ CLIA) • To assign a national alpha-numeric ID to all premises and barns • To physically identify the premises and barns with highly visible signage with the national Premise ID

  15. Premise ID Initiative • BC Poultry Industry Biosecurity and Emergency Response Strategic Plan (2005-2007) • Goal 2: the BC poultry industry has an emergency response management plan in place to handle an infectious disease outbreak, by 2007 • Requires all farms and other required locations to be included in a “database” by Dec 31, 2006

  16. National Initiatives • Ontario / Quebec / Manitoba • National Hog Identification and Traceability System – once systems in place and functional, program will become mandatory in 2008

  17. BC Poultry Premise ID Initiative • Want to pursue opportunities to include Specialty birds / backyard flocks • A complete poultry database is critical to reduce response time, key in limiting impacts of an animal disease outbreak • Only as good as the “weakest link”

  18. Benefits • Quicker mapping of quarantine area • First 24 hrs are the most important • Provides quick response to limit disease spread • Provides timely testing to move birds to market • Minimizes down time • Other emergencies- floods, water quality issues
