As winter begins to settle the dangers of Avian Flu really hit home across the UK.

A state of emergency has been declared across the UK this winter by the UK Chief veterinary Office Christine Middlemiss as Avian Flu continues to spread across the country, affecting wild and captive birds alike.

Poultry farmers are being warned to be vigilant and to be prepared for what could be a potentially devastating endemic of the latest mutated strain of the H5N8 virus, which has been causing major difficulties across Europe recently.

The dangers of infection and the spread of this disease are becoming apparent through the clear impact that it is having on the wild bird population. Which are being noticeably affected and reports are increasing of multiple swan deaths being linked to this latest virulent strain of Bird flu that is sweeping across the UK.

Where are the latest Avian Flu outbreaks?

In Worcestershire, rescuers have taken care of dozens of dying birds and in Blackpool, many Swans and Cygnets have been found dead in Stanley Park. In Dawlish in Devon, postmortems have been completed on several swans and cygnets which confirmed the worst fears that the latest strain of Avian Flu H5N8 was responsible.

All of the sites affected in the UK are hundreds of miles apart, highlighting the ferocity of this latest strain. It’s believed to have been brought in by migrating wild birds travelling across Europe. This strain was responsible for the mass and widespread deaths of birds during 2016 and 2017.

To combat the fears that this virus could potentially wipe out massive numbers of chickens, turkeys, and other poultry stock across the UK, the government has declared a special Avian Influenza Prevention Zone in England, Scotland, and Wales. This zone coincides with the increase in responsibilities for farmers to manage their own biosecurity measures.

Avian Flu Outbreaks in chicken farms and broiler houses are being monitored and already tens of thousands of birds have been culled in broiler houses in Cheshire, Kent, Leicestershire, and Herefordshire.

Although most noticeable in the wild swan population this latest strain of Bird Flu has also been responsible for deaths in Pink Footed Geese, Buzzards, Curlews, Greylag Geese, and Canadian Geese, indicating just how virulent the disease can be crossing from species to species.

Although Wild birds often get the blame for spreading the disease, in most instances they are infected with the virus from coming into contact with infected poultry, which in many instances are being moved from region to region.

As always the importance of following strict biosecurity measures is a priority to poultry farmers. It’s required for farmers to keep strict distancing measures in place to prevent mixing between wildfowl and captive birds.

Across the UK in 2020, new regulations have recently been implemented affecting all poultry farmers. Regardless of whether they have hundreds or thousands of birds, all farmers are now legally required to adhere to the new biosecurity measures to protect themselves and their livestock.

Avian Influenza Exclusion zone

The most notable points of the New Avian Influenza Exclusion zone include:

• Keepers with more than 500 birds must restrict access to their site for non-essential visitors.
• Workers’ clothing and footwear must be changed before entering bird enclosures.
• Site vehicles must be cleaned and disinfected regularly.
• Make areas, where birds are kept, are uninviting to wild birds, for example removing wild bird food sources and placing netting over ponds.
• All livestock must be fed in enclosed areas
• Movement between enclosures must be kept to a minimum.
• Clean and Disinfect any contaminated areas.

In fact, if you are aware of the biosecurity measure in place on pig farms, you will see the similarity in many elements of the guidelines.

To maintain biosecurity, we would always recommend installing a dedicated agricultural incinerator onsite to ensure that farmers are able to complete many of these steps easily. By handling and disposing of fallen stock onsite rather than waiting for a collection agency removes risks of contamination spreading. Incinerating onsite removes the need for collection agencies, which can potentially bring infection onto your farms.

As such, we have already been in discussion with several of our regular customers on how to enforce biosecurity measures on-site alongside installing additional machines across more sites. In doing so, we aim to help them reduce the number of visitors and increase the speed and efficiency of disposing of any infected, fallen, and culled animals.

If you believe that you may have come into contact with or witnessed a bird with Avian Flu you must either contact DEFRA as a member of the public on 03459 335577. Alternatively, if you are a keeper of birds you should notify the APHA on 03000 200 301 as soon as possible.

African Swine Fever has continued to affect global pig farming since its return to mainstream attention in 2019. Crossing continents and impacting pig farmers in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas alike. In many instances, farmers have been left overwhelmed. In some instances they have been able to use individual site incinerators when installed to reduce visitors and prevent the risks to their livestock. However, when a catastrophe has struck and entire herds have been culled a new problem arises.

What happens when your fallen stock levels multiply overnight?

The challenge here lies in the average farmer being able to handle increased numbers of fallen stock. Occasionally, they will already have an incinerator available such as the SB or the TB to manage their average requirements but are unable to cope with the demand caused by a large outbreak.

As recognised in the UK since the 1980’s the only safe way to dispose of infected livestock is through appropriate and controlled incineration, achieving temperatures sufficient to remove all traces of the virus and releasing only cleaned gasses back into the environment. Removing the risks to the surrounding areas that burial and open burning poses.

This is where our latest project showcases an innovative approach to such a problem. The Rapid 1000, coming in at close to 9 metres in length and with the capacity to dispose of up to one tonne of waste an hour which roughly equates to 10 full-sized pig carcasses every hour and able to be in operation for 16 hours a day. This throughput is essential when dealing with animals that are potentially diseased and not fit for human consumption as speed of disposal is paramount to halt infection from spreading.

This project currently in production for delivery to Asia late in 2021 is to be installed on the back of a flatbed lorry. Providing the ultimate mobile solution, able to be used for emergency operation, travelling to sites of outbreaks and mass cullings. Whilst operating from a semi-permanent location for the majority of the time.

While not in mobile operation this machine will be established at the local port and set to manage fallen stock from multiple incoming sources. Protecting the biosecurity alongside providing a reliable solution to neighbouring farmers and local islands which do not have their own incineration facilities available.

The Rapid 1000 has proven to be the ideal solution for providing a central incineration facility for many remotely connected islands such as across the Asian and Indonesian regions. Establishing shortened journey times between sites and removing the need to export or even dump waste which has previously happened.

This installation is looking to be a fantastic development in the fight against African Swine fever and a massive step towards biosecurity for many farmers in the region.

In fact, having a well-implemented incineration plan is one of the factors that can help a farm achieve approved status. Alongside being DEFRA and APHA approved the Addfield range of incinerators enable farmers to meet the recommendations set out for handling fallen stock. In particular, giving the ability to securely store, manage and dispose of fallen stock including afterbirth and stillborn animals.

Incineration supports Red Tractor certified standards

Able to maintain site biosecurity by handling fallen stock straight away alongside the added benefit of lockable chambers for storing waste between incineration. Providing protection from vermin, and animals whilst preventing environmental contamination and the spread of disease. Removing the need for collection through using an approved on-farm incinerator removes the risks of relying upon an external agency which, as we have seen during the past year can fall prey to outside forces that could delay this from happening.

It is not suitable to bury or openly burn fallen stock, disposal must follow strict guidelines which only an approved incinerator can meet. For red tractor approval, chamber temperatures must be constantly monitored and recorded ensuring they maintain the required exhaust gas temperature of 850°C for two seconds. All of which is handled automatically through the Addfield SB as standard.

Once the incineration process is complete, commonly resulting in a remainder of an average of 3% volume to load. The ash is able to be disposed of by mixing with manure and spreading on agricultural land and is covered by an exemption from the environment agency.

Having close to 40 years of experience in supporting the pig sector Addfield are consistently called upon to supply a range of machines. The most popular being the SB which can be found on farms up and down the country.

Sustainability is one of the keywords that you will always see us using when talking about our machines. Incineration can often get a bad reputation from those that do not understand how in many aspects it can be the most environmentally friendly approach to disposing of some waste types.

Having a life expectancy of more than 20 years we are well aware of the structural sustainability of our machines but as the world moves away from traditional fossil fuels what does that mean for incineration? In the UK, Petrol and Diesel fuelled vehicles are being phased out over the next decade for electric versions. This approach is being mirrored across Europe and countries across the world. Purely electric incineration is not yet possible as you will always need combustible fuel to operate.

However, there are many alternatives to Diesel for fuel. Most commonly you will find many of our incinerators operating using LPG, Natural Gas, Kerosene and even recycling waste oil.

Biofuel has been an option that we have been investigating for some time now and are happy to announce that most of our machines are now able to be supplied with, or be upgraded to use HVO Biofuel (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) potentially the world’s purest and greenest fuel available.

What are the benefits of HVO BioFuel?

There are many reasons why you should consider using HVO Biofuel compared to more traditional fossil fuels such as Diesel or Natural gas.

The next level of sustainable HVO fuel will not run out in the same way that fossil fuel will. Crop based. The raw materials can be grown easily and without impacting the environment. In fact, the UK has more than 100,000 hectares of land just growing crops for such usage, a truly organic approach to carbon neutrality.

Additionally, HVO Biofuel is also produced from waste fats and vegetable oils providing a safe and sustainable approach for disposing of these end of life products. Creating the fuel through Hydrogenation and Isomerisation the resulting fuel is significantly less harmful than traditional diesel, cleaner-burning also means less wear and tear on the burners, reducing soot and emissions as a direct result of usage compared to dirtier ‘Natural’ fuels.

Cleaner and safer to use than traditional diesel and red diesel, HVO is a biodiesel that is 100% hydrocarbon (0% oxygen) meeting EN15940 standards for paraffinic fuels, as well as ASTM D975 19B and Fuel Quality Directive 2009/30/EC Annex II.

Using HVO lets you cut your greenhouse gas emissions by up to a massive 90%. Eliminates up to 90% of net CO2 and also drastically reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx), particulate matter (PM) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions compared to other fuels.

We are now able to provide the option of selecting these new burners when ordering the machine or even by choosing to retrofit your existing incinerator/pet cremator.

HVO Biofuel is available from a range of suppliers and delivered in exactly the same way that standard fuels will be with one extra difference. Many suppliers have signed the tankers used to deliver the fuels to be carbon neutral meaning that this really is the greenest fuel possible.

Available to be used in all of our agricultural machines and pet cremation machines if you would like to learn more about your opportunities for reducing your greenhouse gasses by 90%, going carbon neutral and sustainable operation just get in touch and we can go through your options with you fully.

The initiative is aimed at celebrating the dedication that UK farmers have shown in 2020, keeping the UK and the world fed during the pandemic before focussing on the strong future with the recovering export market. Beef is back on the table in the USA, pork will bounce back in China and the continuing growth of the Cheese market across the Gulf are but three opportunities arising for the UK produce industry. Although Brexit has brought some challenges, these will be reflected in our opportunities.

As control has returned to the hands of the Government in late 2020, the government announced its Sustainable Farming Initiative. Establishing a roadmap towards a better and fairer farming system. Providing additional help for farmers to adapt for the future. The ultimate reward here is making steps to improve the environment for generations to come.

What is the Sustainable Farming Initiative?

The Sustainable Farming Initiative is a 7-year program designed to help UK farmers to increase their efficiency, sustainability, profitability, quality and environmental sustainability. Targeted with continuing the great developments across the sector which has seen our self-sustainability leap since 2014.

The initiative has many goals that we support especially with regards to protecting the environment and improving biosecurity. Two things that have been at the heart of our operation since 1982 when we originally began working with UK farmers.

Two of the key goals so far directly reinforce the benefits of having an Addfield incinerator on-site and that is the beneficial environmental impact. Our machines are famously recognised for their clean smoke and odour free operation utilising the powerful secondary chamber to only release cleaned and safe gasses back into the environment. Alongside that is Biosecurity, as the aim is to control and eradicate many of the endemic diseases that can devastate Cattle, Pigs, Sheep and Poultry. Which having an onsite incinerator drastically reduces the risk of introducing these diseases onsite alongside providing a faster more secure method of fallen stock disposal.

There are going to be many financial benefits and incentives to farmers that are achieving these goals alongside funding to help reach these targets as more information is being published throughout the year.

At Addfield, we pride ourselves on not only bringing sustainable methods for waste disposal. We also encourage changing perspectives of those who see incineration as having a negative impact on the environment.

The Sustainable Farming Initiative is a fantastic opportunity and really supports our goal to have an Addfield machine on every farm across the UK. Enabling every farmer to manage their waste efficiently while adhering to government guidelines for a cleaner environment.

In the early days of the initial COVID19 outbreak there were reports of household cats being able to become infected with the virus. In the following months the virus was confirmed to have crossed species once again this time with more devastating consequences.

In July, mink farms across Europe including Denmark, Spain and the Netherlands were the first to report infections in their animals. Unlike most agricultural epidemics which are spread from contact with infected animals, the Coronavirus has been able to successfully infect directly from human to animal. Evidence proving the ease of this cross infection became confirmed, over 4000 miles away by American mink farmers in August 2020. Creating a massive wave of animal deaths, caused by the animals becoming infected by the SARS-CoV-2 which is the virus that causes COVID 19 in humans.

First confirmed in Utah on the 6th of August following an abnormal number of deaths on a mink farm. A biosecurity emergency was declared and sample animals sent to the ‘veterinary pathology department’ of the Utah State University.

The causes of death in the mink was similar to humans. The lungs being found to be wet, heavy and angry upon autopsy all recognised signs of Pneumonia. In fact these symptoms matched those in infected mink across Europe. The fact that this type of pneumonia was not widely found in mink until this spate of infections indicates it could only have come from the workers infecting the animals.

These outbreaks have confirmed the infection can pass from humans to mink and back again. The initial infections in Europe were traced back to workers bringing the Coronavirus onto the farm before infecting up to 90% of all animals leading to the culling of hundreds of thousands of animals during the first phase a number which has since grown into the millions.

One of the key dangers in these cross infections is that the infection can be harboured in the animals indefinitely leading to the risks of it spreading to humans being a constant threat. This requires consistent and safe destruction of all culled animals.

Mink farmers across the USA are now urgently reviewing their biosecurity facilities to ensure any outbreaks are able to be rapidly dealt with to prevent infecting staff and spreading the disease alongside protecting livestock on each farm.

The US produces more than 3 million mink pelts a year worth in excess of $300,000,000. The risk of Covid 19 infection makes these unfit for public usage and all must be safely disposed of, financially decimating the sector through additional costs and loss of earnings.

It is still unknown just how easily the virus can transfer across species although there were multiple confirmed cases in Denmark, the Netherlands as well as the USA of workers being in contact with infected mink that have since been confirmed to contracting the Coronavirus.

The virus is continuing to devastate worldwide as Denmark culls a further 17 million animals after a further mutation in the virus leads to increased cross species contamination. Tis has even led to a full regional lockdown as the virus has mutated and may be resistant to future vaccines.

As we have learned, one of the safest ways to control and overcome any outbreak quickly is through being prepared. Having an Addfield incinerator onsite is one of the safest ways to manage your daily fallen stock whilst providing an essential solution in times of crisis. In these instances farmers would be able to rapidly and safely dispose of fallen animals without risking the virus spreading any further.

At Addfield we have a recognised global heritage in treating animal viral outbreaks. Successfully helping to combat the foot and mouth outbreaks of the 1980s, BSE during the 1990s and avian flu in the 2000’s. We are currently in the process of optimising a number of our agricultural incinerators to be able to be installed on Mink farms to securely manage the infectious livestock.

Today we are looking at the A50L agricultural incinerator machine. This machine is predominately used for disposing of poultry waste on broiler sites of around 400,000 birds and above it is also used for the disposal of hatchery waste, and also potentially other animal by-products waste as well.

The machine is made up of two main sections. The primary chamber, which is the lower section and above that a secondary after chamber. The primary chamber is where the waste is loaded into and the secondary chamber is what cleans the gasses to ensure the machine is compliant to the relevant EU legislation.

This machine can be equipped with various loading systems:

• The first would be manually, loaded via the front-loading door.
• A tipper system via a chute on the top so you can load with a bin tipper system
• Hydraulic ram systems to further aid automation and to minimise manual handling of the waste.

The control panel in the front controls all of the major functions of the unit. On a day to day basis, the operator would typically load the waste. On this example machine through the top-loading chute, there is a function to open and close the hatch doors for safe loading. The entire incineration cycle is initiated from this control panel.

The operation is based on a timer system from the start to when the waste is finished and rendered to sterile ash.

Other features include a full HMI colour touch screen interface, data logging, integrated support mode, and various access rites to different features of the control system. Ash is removed from the lower chamber. And internally refractory is constructed and lined with a high thermal efficiency multi-layered brick refractory.

A highly problematic virus that has previously devastated livestock in 1986 when 180,000 cattle were found to be infected, which led to a mass slaughter of 4.4 million cattle in the UK. Following this drastic outbreak many essential changes to how farming operates have been implemented which have successfully prevented a major outbreak since.

With the latest reappearance there are important lessons to pay attention to from what has happened before that can help prevent the disease causing a problem to you and your livestock.

What is Mad Cow Disease?

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) is most commonly known as Mad Cow Disease which is a fatal neuro-degenerative disease that affects cattle. The disease can be transferred to humans who eat infected meat which can lead to the development of Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) of which there have been 177 known fatalities.

The cause of BSE is currently unknown however evidence links to contamination coming from infected Meat and Bone Meal commonly from sheep with scrapie (another neuro-degenerative disease).

The history of the disease is believed to run back as far as the 5th Century BC with several recorded instances of a disease with similar symptoms in cattle crossing over into humans.

The virus cannot be killed by general cooking which makes it especially harmful if it enters the foodchain.

What are the symptoms of Mad Cow Disease?

BSE has an incubation period that can run from months to years which makes early diagnosis very difficult. Diagnosis is generally established by inspecting brain tissue from deceased cows who exhibited physical symptoms.

The visible symptoms to look out for in infected cattle are:

• General dis-coordination – Trouble walking and getting up.
• Excess nervousness.
• Uncharacteristically violent behaviour.
• Increasing levels of sickness.
• Followed by death within 2 weeks to 6 months.

There is currently no treatment or vaccine available to treat BSE.

Variants of the disease can cross over and infect not only humans but also sheep, goats, mink, deer, elk and cats.

How to dispose of infected waste?

The only safe way to safely neutralise infected livestock is through appropriate incineration, not in open fires, which leads to spreading the contamination into the environment.

All our agricultural machines are highly secure when incinerating fallen livestock and waste. Having a primary burning chamber which achieves temperatures well in excess of those required to neutralise BSE. Followed by a secondary chamber that maintains 850°C releasing only cleaned gasses back into the environment.

We are experts in all fields of biosecurity and are able to support you and your farm across all your animal needs.

This August the first outbreak since 2001 in the UK was identified at an abattoir in Brentwood in Essex. Discovered in a total of 27 pigs as confirmed by a veterinary inspector. As soon as the outbreak was confirmed an exclusion zone was placed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF).  Although contained it is not confirmed that it has been fully eradicated within the initial five-mile exclusion zone in-place around the abattoir and the two farms currently suspected of housing the pigs.  Testing will be carried out across the region involving thousands of animals and dozens of farms. Investigations will begin with the zones originally identified to find the original source of the infection.

It is outbreaks such as these that reinforce how maintaining site biosecurity is essential. Ensuring all visitors are appropriately trained and practicing the latest Biosecurity measures alongside minimising unnecessary visitors to your site.  This is one of many benefits in managing your own incineration onsite, reducing the risk of contamination being brought onto your site and the ability to rapidly react to any incidents as they do occur.

Foot and Mouth disease commonly affects cloven-hoofed animals such as pigs, cows, sheep, goats and other cattle breeds.  The initial symptoms begin with lameness and a lack of appetite. This is followed by blistering in the mouth caused by excess salivation and between the toes and heels. These swell and burst leaving large painful ulcers in their place which can take weeks to heal. Unlike other diseases, it is not highly fatal only really being a major concern for infant animals. However, the infected animals cease to gain weight and dairy cows stop producing milk.

Highly viral spreading rapidly by breath, saliva, mucus, milk, and faeces the infection can be spread up to four days before symptoms are visible.  With sheep, the symptoms can be minimal making them extremely damaging form of contagion.  Due to the breeds affected by cross contamination, it is vital that action is taken rapidly to contain any spread.

Without a clear vaccine to protect against all strains of the ‘Foot and Mouth ‘ virus, the only consistent prevention is to ensure strict biosecurity is in place treating any outbreak quickly reducing it’s spread to prevent a country losing its foot and mouth free status.

This is due to the fact that the greatest damage comes from the impact on trade in livestock and livestock by-products. Infected livestock has to be humanely culled and disposed of potentially, crippling the supply chain and reducing the export opportunities of countries affected.

It is vital to not let Foot and Mouth disease get out of control as almost happened in South Africa in 2017 following a similar outbreak which was also restricted through strict control zones. If they had lost their Foot and Mouth Free status they would have been prevented exporting any Livestock, Game and their by-products the impact of this could have cost the South African Economy as much as 6 Billion Rand (approx. £300,000,000 GBP / $400,000,000 USD). South Africa previously lost its Foot and Mouth Free Status in 2011 only to regain it again in 2014 as such they were extremely dedicated to eradicating and controlling further outbreaks.

What are you currently doing to manage your Biosecurity and protecting your business from the costs of such an outbreak?  At Addfield all our engineers are experts in biosecurity and we can assist you at every stage of installing and maintaining your own on-site incineration.  Contact us for more information on why our machines are trusted across more than 95 countries globally.

Welcoming farmers from across the UK, Ireland and beyond it was a fantastic opportunity not only to speak to farmers that are looking to buy an Addfield Agricultural incinerator for the first time, it was also a real opportunity for our team to meet our existing customers again. Finding out how they are getting on with their machines, and gain some real-world feedback on what it is like to use our machines every day.

Possibly our busiest show yet there was barely a moment of quiet as our two teams battled to keep up with the enquiries to the stand.  Having a mix of departments taking turns on the Tuesday and Wednesday enabled our team to personally gain a different perspective on what makes our machines so successful.

Stand visitors had the opportunity to finally meet a number of our behind the scenes team members rather than just deal with our sales team and they took the opportunity to raise very interesting questions on a variety of topics.  However, it was clear that there were two key areas of interest for farmers this year, Biosecurity and Costs.

As biosecurity experts, we have always designed our machines to be the perfect solution to help farmers to prevent any costly outbreaks whilst keeping their farms prepared for any scenarios that could cause problems to how they can run their farms (see below for some links to further information on biosecurity risks)

Coming a close second was the cost. Fallen stock and waste management can be an expensive business for pig and poultry farmers whether they are managing it themselves or paying for a waste removal service. It’s a cost every farmer has to account for.  So, when the topic of conversation turned to the cost of our incinerators over the lifetime of one of our machines the fact that you can be expected to get more than 20 years of operation whilst saving up to  40% on running costs compared to other modern machines and even more when compared to some of the older machines that some of our guests currently used it was soon apparent how quickly our agricultural incinerators can pay for themselves.  As such several farmers are already planning on changing how they manage their fallen stock to match farmers around the world and start using an Addfield machine.

With the sales already received the show has already proven its value so we know we are going to be heading back in two years time. Our team are just beginning to plough through the enquiries we received during the two days and are starting to book in visits to the factory to showcase how our machines are simply built better than any other incineration machine on the market.

If you weren’t able to make it to this year’s show, don’t think you have to wait another two years to see our machines in action, get in touch with us and come to see us anytime.
