Growing Demand for Global Poultry Products to Drive Market Growth
Poultry products, including meat and eggs, constitute widely consumed animal-source foods globally. The consumption of these food items, alongside other animal-source foods, has witnessed rapid growth over the past few decades. This surge in demand can be attributed to factors such as population expansion, urbanization, and increasing incomes in developing countries. Chicken, characterized by its affordability, low-fat content, and minimal cultural and religious restrictions, stands out as the predominant type of meat consumed.
Vaccination is a primary method of preventing Marek's disease outbreaks in poultry flocks. Vaccines stimulate the bird's immune response without causing the disease, protecting against the virus. Different types of Marek's disease vaccines are available, including live attenuated, vector, and recombinant vaccines.
Asia-Pacific: Anticipated to Grow with Highest CAGR by 2032
The Asia-Pacific hosts a burgeoning poultry industry, with China, Japan, and India emerging as key players in the market. Incidences of Marek's disease outbreaks have been documented in these countries, consequently driving an elevated demand for Marek's disease vaccines. Additionally, governments and industry stakeholders are proactively instituting measures to manage and prevent disease outbreaks, encompassing comprehensive vaccination programs and stringent biosecurity protocols.
Furthermore, some of the top companies operating in the market include Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH, Ceva Sante Animale, Hester Biosciences Limited, etc.

‘There is a theoretical expectation that some types of vaccines could prompt the evolution of more virulent (“hotter”) pathogens. This idea follows from the notion that natural selection removes pathogen strains that are so “hot” that they kill their hosts and, therefore, themselves. Vaccines that let the hosts survive but do not prevent the spread of the pathogen relax this selection, allowing the evolution of hotter pathogens to occur. This type of vaccine is often called a leaky vaccine.’

News
My flock has contracted Marek's Disease.
Since 2019, after I brought home Lyra and Wren, my flock has been a closed flock. Meaning I take biosecurity very seriously, and opted to not bring any new chickens in or allow other poultry-keepers access to the yard where they are kept. The only birds that were added from 2019 until now have been from hatching eggs. There are a select few diseases that can pass from mother to egg, but not Marek's.
But within the past few weeks one chicken displayed symptoms of leg weakness and became unable to walk. I brought them indoors and started treating for vitamin deficiency, since that is by far the most common cause of sudden lameness in poultry. But she didn't get better, and then Lyra started walking unsteadily, and I knew something else was wrong. I suspected something was wrong with my feed and sent off a sample to get tested for mycotoxins, and switched feeds, because I know a lot of people have had issues with that lately. But then one morning I found Moss deceased in the coop, and it all kind of went downhill from there.
Sebrights are known for having extremely low resistance to disease. They are very inbred. It is the reason I lost Kip to fowl pox when everyone else recovered fine. And why all but one (her unnamed cockerel "emo" son) of the members of my flock who are descended from Lyra are affected. But none of the other tiny breeds I have, Seramas or Kikirkis, are known for being particularly disease resistant either. So. I am extremely cautious at jumping the gun and saying they wont be effected.
I sent off Moss's body for a necropsy on monday and got the results today, September 29th.
Tumblr media
I do not know how this got into my flock. Our nextdoor neighbor got chickens a few months ago, but our birds don't have any direct contact. That is the only way I can think of.
There is a vaccine but it can only be administered to day old chicks. Vaccinating to prevent this was not an option.
It generally takes 4-10 weeks for the disease to develop after the chicken has been exposed, so it had to have been fairly recent. My flock has not been carrying this sub-clinically.
I genuinely don't know how this is going to go from here. There is no treatment for marek's disease. It is a virus. I have ordered a few herbal remedies with vague studies to back up some kind of efficacy helping reduce the damage the virus does and boost their immunity, but its mostly a crapshoot. The only good news I have with all this is that older birds are somewhat less likely to succumb to this disease. And the fact turkies and pigeons can't contract it.
The only birds displaying symptoms right now are Lyra, and Moss's unnamed pullet daughter.
Lyra is tentatively okay. I have crafted a sling for her, and she has been increasing in mobility over the last few days. She did not ever have full paralysis, so I am hopeful. Her daughter and Mouse, one of the younger keep-back pullets from this summers chicks, are the only casualties so far.
I'll be doing all that I can in terms of supportive care, but if any symptomatic birds get to the point I don't think they will recover from I will be euthanizing them. I will not be selling chickens anymore.
This disease has been a nightmare of mine for such a long time and now it is really happening. I am pretty crushed.

Character Profiles: The Baranim
Tumblr media
Achemi Baranim (mage/true neutral)
Age: 55
Interest: Dogs
Traits: Family-orientated/Daring/Hot-tempered/Loves the outdoors/ Adventurous/ Neat
Sexual orientation: Pansexual
Mage power: 4 (from birth) + 5 (from spiders)
Mage vice: Childishness
Achemi's past is shrouded in mystery. It's not that she won't talk about it- she just gives a different version every time. However, something in her demeanour speaks of her past as a military commander. Life in exile has not been easy, but the wastelands are in some ways safer than what she's left behind.
Tumblr media
Ansyl Baranim née Aramia (mage/chaotic neutral)
Age: 25
Interest: Dancing
Traits: Dog-person/ Loves the outdoors/ Rebellious/ Unstable/ Brave
Sexual orientation: Bisexual
Mage power: 1 (from birth)
Ansyl was married off much too young, for the sake of a political alliance which never really materialized. She's always felt like she was playing a role as a lady, an ill-fitting suit. Lost in the woods after escaping her captors, she survived thanks to her resourcefulness, before being bitten by a direwolf. The Baranim have accepted her, but only Yakon knows about her shape-shifting when the moon is full.
Tumblr media
Yakon Baranim (mage/lawful good)
Age: 20
Interest: Praying
Traits: Dog-person/Family-orientated/Vain/Animal handler/Handy
Sexual orientation: Heterosexual
Mage power: 2 (from birth)
Mage vice: Vanity
Yakon's very sensitive about the scars left-over from the skulling disease he suffered as a child. He was almost glad when his twin was disfigured after a direwolf attack- although he would never admit it to himself. Used to live in the shadows of his mother and Marek, he was the first surprised when Ansyl took a liking to him. Although he's the least magically gifted Baranim, he's the most spiritual, and is the one in charge of appeasing The Beast.
Tumblr media
Marek Baranim (mage/lawful neutral)
Age: 20
Interest: Babies
Traits: Family-orientated/ Angler/ Loves to swim/ Loves the cold/Nurturing
Sexual orientation: Heterosexual
Mage power: 5 (from birth) + 2 (from spiders)
Mage vice: Sloth
Marek hides his soft side under a layer of arrogance and self-righteousness. He's grown up with an acute sense of missing out on what the world has to offer, and is somewhat embarassed of his ignorance. He loves his family more than anything, but he knows, and his prophetic powers have confirmed, that he needs to leave them to make a life of his own.

growing up w chickens, and a lot of different breeds, and also a lot of books about chicken breeds, and also hanging out with like middle aged men at livestock shows as a child, means that i have a weirdly encyclopedic knowledge of chicken breeds and their characteristics. weird when i'm with friends who don't know this and in the presence of chickens and i start spitting facts about how, yes, silkies are so soft and sweet and docile but they are really too susceptible to mareks disease and it's too heartbreaking to keep them. and the ones with silly hats are polish and boy are they sort of dumb. and oh yes the round ones are orpingtons and they are truly the golden retriever of chickens, so sweet and silly and loyal and recognize faces

Candled again last night, so far so good! All 19 eggs left looked like they’re developing normally, which is a lot of babies! Most of them were wiggling around, thankfully including the only 2 Hedemora eggs and the baby in the last blue Favaucana egg!
In a fit of paranoia about Marek’s disease, I’m going to test the unvaccinated adult birds in my flock now. I really don’t think my flock has it, since I’ve only ever lost 2 birds to illness. But just to be sure, and to know what to do to protect my new chicks, I’m testing them. If they’re positive I’m going to try vaccinating the chicks myself - not ideal, but better than losing them.

Hi! I know you know a lot about chicken genetics and different breeds and I had a question. What's up with those naked chicken pictures I see online sometimes? I don't mean plucked ones or naked-neck breeds, they're full alive and just... Wandering around naked with almost no feathers. Is that a specific breed? Or just random chickens with a genetic mutation or disease?
Its genetics and there are a few genes that can cause nakedness such as homozygous frizzle (also called frazzle/wooly) since it makes the feathers incredibly brittle and sparse. There is also some slow feathering genes (that can cause retarded feather growth) that can prevent a chicken from developing feather follicles these are a bit rarer and usually only found in industry chickens though (there are exceptions).
The ones you see online though are likely scaleless, you know how there is a gene that causes snakes to have no scales? Its basically the same, feathers are just modified scales after all. Scaleless chickens have no feathers, foot scales, or spurs. Scaleless is a recessive gene and while it has appeared in some birds spontaneously most of the ones you might have seen may have been genetically modified for research. For example they used scaleless chickens in a mareks study and found that mareks doesnt need the presence of feather follicles to still cause tumor development in the birds. Other studies usually deal with how the birds could possibly be used in agricultural systems but really they tend to not thrive very well for obvious reasons.

In a weird limbo where I don’t want to cull Blaziken and his offspring because last time I brought new birds into the flock, they brought in fucking Marek’s disease. At the same time. His comb edge turns purple and so do his sons. Which is almost constantly an instant cull for me and makes me hesitant to keep his (very beautiful) daughters. Augh.

Hello! Do you have any tips for picking a good peafowl breeder? I’m wanting to start keeping them soon and I would like to get healthy birds from someone who focuses on temperament and conformation.
Well, I have bad news, most people are not focusing on either temperament or conformation and the number of people that actually take their birds to vets and monitor their flocks for any diseases is... low.
That said, you can ask questions (some of them are US specific):
Are you NPIP certified? The answer should be yes. NPIP certification is like the barest minimum of health every breeder should have; in most states testing is free and positive cases of pullorum are almost non-existent. However, in some states NPIP certification also requires breeders to be tested AI clean, mycoplasma clean, and there are a few other diseases that can be tested for. Some states ONLY require pullorum testing (because it can be passed through the egg), however, so make sure you know which is required if they say yes.
If they are NPIP and their state does NOT require Mycoplasma testing, ask if they test for mycoplasma in their flock. This is the single most prevalent disease in peafowl, it's a respiratory infection that cannot be cured, only treated. It IS a minor infection in most cases, causing "cold like" symptoms (mucous, breathing issues, sometimes clogged sinuses, lethargy). However, it can quickly turn fatal if there are other factors, and it is highly contagious both to other peas and any other poultry. Even if they say they test for it, I would still highly recommend getting any birds you receive tested before keeping them or letting them out of quarantine at your place.
LP-AI testing is uncommon, so if you ask about it and they say no, then that's not necessarily a disqualifier, but if they say yes (and they should have records of this) then they're probably on top of their flock's health in general too. Some states this testing is free with the NPIP certification, some states it is SUPER expensive (like here it's $25/test and must be done every 90 days) so may only be tested for with suspicion of an infection.
Ask what they do to monitor and treat worms, mites/lice, and coccidia. Some people do things on a regular schedule (which is useful for you to know what they're using, for resistances from long term use), some treat only if they find a problem. I prefer to have people treat only if they find a problem, but a schedule is useful in places where vet care is not prominent.
Ask what other health monitoring/testing they do. It may be nothing. It may be something that's a local problem; I have friends in some locales where Marek's or Gapeworm are big issues, but they're not by me so there's no good reason for me to be looking for them. Being aware of local issues is a big plus.
Ask if they can share their vet's number. If they don't have a vet's number to share, then that's not great. They may be able to take care of some stuff themselves, but imo any pet owner should at least know ahead of time where they would take a pet in the event of an emergency.
Outside of medical health care, there's general care questions you can ask.
Ask what they are feeding and why. Peafowl are game birds and should be on a high-protein feed that is cut with other things like whole grains and greens, not on a chicken layer chow and definitely not on layer chow + cat food (which is an old recipe from before there were readily available game bird chows... but still being on that means they aren't keeping up with current nutritional knowledge). Nutrition also HIGHLY feeds into proper growth and development of young birds; a poorly fed bird will still turn out looking like crap conformation wise.
Ask if you can see pics of their enclosures! Environment is also very important to peafowl growth and development, as well as mental health and stress levels. Many breeders use long, thin enclosures side by side, which is a good setup. Anything that's tall but not long is Bad, like a corn crib silo.
Ask what their breeding goals are. If all they talk about is color, they're not paying attention to temperament or type. You can ask what happens to aggressive individuals, but it's a coin toss if they answer honestly.
You can ask what they think about Spalding hybrids; if they are super into them, but are mostly focused on how it enhances the color of the bird, then again they're probably not being careful about trying to reduce use of green genetics to fix conformation problems in blues. This doesn't necessarily mean they're a bad breeder, just that their goals don't have anything to do with improving blue type for its own sake.
Ask if they have or can take videos of their birds when there are not visitors. Peafowl adjust well to caretakers they are around often, but even well-adjusted ones may stress out when there's unfamiliar people (ie, you, a visitor) nearby because they don't know if you're a predator. Being able to see videos and compare to when you purchase the bird is helpful.
All of these together can help you determine what a breeder knows and doesn't know. You may not be able to assess the answers to them, but if someone can't even discuss them at all, then the chances of them knowing enough to be picking for temperament/conformation/health is low. In that case there's a better chance they either just have birds that made babies willy-nilly, or they are breeding for color/pattern genes (which is pretty standard). There's a loooot of people in the peafowl world who either ignore obvious health issues (like stubby legs because "they're cute") or plain old just don't know enough to know it's a problem (because so much wrt peafowl health and care is still rapidly being learned with modern science and an increase in peafowl keeping).
When all else fails, you can also straight up ask: do you breed for health/temperament/conformation and if so, how, and what are you looking for/what have you worked through already?
and hey, if you've been following me for any length of time you've probably picked up on conformation notes and can have a look for yourself at their birds!

My asshole prepper aunt is having all her expensive fancy breed chickens die because she chose not to vaccinate for Mareks Disease. What a sad waste of life.

Sorry for no new art today, I was planning on completing another ask but one of my chickens got sick with a disease that I really hope isn’t mareks, even though all the symptoms are telling me that. (if you don’t know, mareks is a virus that has no cure and is evidently lethal in one way or another. You can look up the symptoms yourself if you wish). I’m really afraid that I might loose my entire flock, so I haven’t been in the best of moods. I will try to work tomorrow though...
