the official organization representing the
world’s poultry meat producers.
In a ceremony during the OIE’s recent
76th General Session in Paris, IPC first
vice president Tage Lysgaard of Denmark
and OIE director General Bernard Vallat
signed a memorandum of understanding
and cooperation that, in effect, recognizes
the IPC as a legitimate international
organization in the eyes of the OIE.
Under the memorandum, the OIE will
look to the IPC for input when developing
on global animal health issues.
“The agreement and MOU means
that the IPC is obliged to keep the OIE
informed on its activities,” Lysgaard
said. “In turn, the IPC will be invited to
participate in the OIE’s general meetings
to give reports on what we’re doing.”
Jim Sumner, president of the USA
Poultry & Egg Export Council, who also
serves as president of the IPC, said that
official recognition by the OIE is a major
step forward for the organization.
“This has been a major goal of our
organization since the beginning,” he said.
“Having the support of an organization
with the status of the OIE, not only helps
give the IPC a more meaningful purpose to
its members, but is also the logical stepping
stone to recognition by Codex and other
organizations as a bona fide organization
that represents the international poultry
community.”
The IPC represents about 85 percent
of the world’s poultry production, and
nearly 96 percent of global trade in poultry
meat.
“Revolution feeders have consistently
provided above average weight gains.
The feeder seems to be more forgiving
