Column by Alvaro Garcia,
SDSU Extension Agriculture
and Natural Resources Program Director & Professor
When the first episode of
Avian Influenza was diagnosed the week of March
1, 2015 in Minnesota, the
diagnosis took everyone by
surprise.
The surprise among those
of us associated with animal
agriculture was primarily
due to the fact that poultry
production has always been
the epitome of biosecurity.
Visits to poultry farms are
by appointment only and
change of clothes and/or
protective garments and
disposable plastic boots are
the norm.
The first diagnosis in
South Dakota took place the
first week of April followed
by nine additional sites in
the same timeframe. Turkey
farms were hit the hardest in
both states. In April, officials
identified a Cooper’s hawk
with the virus in western
Minnesota, which was the
first known wild infection in
the state.
On July 10, 2015 the Minnesota DNR confirmed that
a chickadee delivered to a
wildlife rehabilitation center
on June tested positive for
Avian Influenza. For the first
time Avian Influenza has
been found in a songbird.
So far, most detections had
been in water fowl, which
seem to be immune and
thus, more likely to spread
the virus. This has led to a
concern of what might happen this fall when migratory
waterfowl head south to
their winter quarters.
Economic impact
Both eggs and turkey
production make significant
contributions to South
Dakota’s economy. In 2014,
the state’s laying hen farms
produced 752 million eggs
worth almost $63.3 million.
The state turkey farms
raised 4.5 million birds with
a total value of almost $139
million.
At the present time only
one farm of layer chickens
was diagnosed. As of the
first week of June nearly half
million turkeys have been
affected on nine farms and
nine different counties in
South Dakota.
Since Avian Influenza
affected nearly 11 percent
of the commercial turkeys
produced in the state, the
economic impact can be
estimated at close to $15
million.
To put this into perspective, Minnesota led the
country in turkey production
in 2014, with 45.5 million
turkeys and an economic
value of $866 million. As of
early May 2015, the disease
had been confirmed on 85
Minnesota turkey farms,
resulting in the direct loss of
nearly 5.7 million birds.
Oddly enough this
represents 12.5 percent of
the turkey population in Minnesota a figure only slightly
off the 11 percent losses in
South Dakota.
These dollar figures
for bird losses in the state
do not take into account
the fact that the affected
facilities will have to remain
empty while they undergo
a rigorous disinfection and
cleaning process.
An 11 percent reduction
in the population of turkeys
in South Dakota will surely
have ripple effects.
Reductions in farm supplies and feed purchases,
and employee layoffs at
farms and poultry processing plants will certainly
affect local businesses.
A 1.8 Reduction Factor
The University of Minnesota conducted this year
an emergency economic
analysis and determined
that this reduction in the
local economic output from
the poultry industry can be
quantified by a 1.8 reduction
factor.
That is to say that the $15
million resulting from direct
turkey sale losses could have
a collective economic impact
in all nine counties of $27
million.
In its analysis, the University of Minnesota also found
that each job lost in poultry,
negatively affected 2.1 jobs
in the state overall.
How this outbreak will
evolve over time, is any-
one’s guess. The losses are
substantial for South Dakota
overall, as well as, for local
businesses and communities
that support this industry.
The Avian Influenza outbreaks have shown that in
spite of very stringent biosecurity measures adapted by
the poultry industry, animal
agriculture is still vulnerable
to disease outbreaks.
This time it was poultry,
but there might be other
instances in the future where
other livestock species could
be affected by disease.
It is important to remain
vigilant and report any suspicious animal health problems (farmed or wildlife!) to
the proper authorities.
In response to the
outbreak, SDSU Extension
is taking part of a multistate approach to provide
research-based information
and resources to families.
The state is also very
fortunate to have within
SDSU the South Dakota
Animal Disease Research and
Diagnostic Laboratory which
has been very helpful up to
this point.
This lab is one of fewer
than 40 veterinary diagnostic
laboratories in the nation
accredited by the American
Association of Veterinary
Laboratory Diagnosticians.
The lab has performed
Diagnostic Testing for
Avian Influenza in over 5,000
samples in backyard birds,
commercial sites and wild
birds. This testing has been
ongoing since March 2015
and occurs on weekends,
holidays and evenings, plus
during regular hours with
emergency “on call” staff do
the testing.
The South Dakota Animal
Disease Research and Diagnostic Laboratory consults
daily with the Board of Animal Health in Minnesota and
South Dakota and has tested
samples in Nebraska, South
Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa
and Minnesota.

BROOKINGS, S.D. - Hilltop Dairy’s cow, WR-Hilltop Timber
12676, ranked first in the Home Bred & Owned (B&O) and
fourth place in the Senior Three-Year-Old Cow categories
during the 2015 Minnesota State Holstein Show held at the
Nobles County Fairgrounds in Worthington, Minn., June 19
2015.
WR-Hilltop Timber 12676 was selected from the 2,000
cows which call Hilltop Dairy home as the highest ranking
animal bred and owned by Olga and Wilfried Reuvekamp.
She produces 85 pounds of milk a day, was pregnant at first
service, ranks 16 percent above herd average performance.
The winning cow is expected to accumulate 34,530 pounds
over 305 days in milk.
The Reuvekamp’s experience showing cows began back in
The Netherlands. The couple and their three children moved
from The Netherlands to Elkton, South Dakota in 2006.
This award is a reflection of farm management and
employee motivation, said Maristela Rovai, SDSU Extension
Dairy Specialist. “Hilltop Dairy took a major step in social
responsibility a few years ago and their mission is employee’s
satisfaction and the dairy operating safely and efficiently,”
Rovai said.
She explained that Wilfried is a 24/7 Farm Manager and
based on his management practices. “Most South Dakota
dairies are family operated and a sustainable way of farming,”
Wilfried said.
He added that he has a passion for raising good looking
cows which are also high producers. He has worked hard to
manage Hilltop Dairy as an integrated farming system: with
functional installations, healthy and high producing cows,
good standards for meeting product quality, land care and
employee education and motivation.
Along with her active involvement in the dairy, Olga
invests in the local dairy industry. She serves on the AgriSafe
board, a multi-function group that addresses best management practices for employee safety; and is the Executive
Director of the Minnesota Agriculture & Rural Leadership
(MARL).
“Behind the prize there is a team where their trophy is the
awarded cow,” Rovai said. “This prize reflects the commitment and involvement of Hilltop with their employees.”
“We are all proud since all of us have been milking and
taking care of her.”. It’s a result of our time, effort and passion
for the work we are doing,” said José Cardenas and herdsman
at Hilltop Dairy.
Prior to the show, the Reuvekamp’s sent her to Zoellner
Brothers in Groton, for training the cow to lead and pose for
the show. ?iGrow
