Australian Pork Limited (APL) -Pork industry year in review 2014

4

T he past year for the pork industry

has been characterised as one of divergent extremes. On the one hand, our progress in building trust in our on-farm production practices, our supply chain, our consumer relationships and the popularity of our pork as food continues to gain momentum in a very positive way.

On the other hand, attacks on our industry from vegan extremists through farm invasions has confronted too many of our producers and shocked us with their tactics and fanaticism.

Production and pricingThe dynamics of pig production in

Australia are hidden in the relatively flat processed pig numbers showing up in the statistics. A cursory look at the figures shows an industry with roughly constant production numbers of around 4.75 million pigs during 2013–14, but behind that figure, our industry intelligence tells us that there continues to be rationalisation of pig farmer numbers.

The exiting pig farmers from our domestic industry are having their pig production volumes replaced by expansion in some of our larger production units, leading to a relatively flat overall outcome in production volumes.

Considering that we can normally count on Australia’s population increasing annually by between 1.5 and 2.0%, an increase to May 2014 in pig slaughters of only 0.1% would

Andrew Spencer,CEO Australian Pork Limited

indicate a tightening of supply on a per capita basis. Ex-farm gate pig pricing over the past 12 months has reflected a supply: demand relationship slightly more in favour of the producer through incremental price increases.

Given comments about expanding export volumes below, the supply situation for pork on a per capita basis seems even tighter.

The limits of supply are brought about by a hesitation within the industry to expand production, even with slowly increasing demand.

This seems to be driven by risk aversion still lingering in the industry since the producer profitability crisis of 2007–8 and the higher than average grain prices over the past couple of years limiting profitability.

Whilst present producer profitability seems to be positive, it is not at a high enough level to initiate reinvestment into the industry at rates required.

Export and importThe export/import mix has worked

in a positive direction for the Australian pork industry over the past year.

Exports are up around 12% for the year to the end of May, 2014 in volume terms. This is not coming from traditional markets such as Singapore but growth in the second tier destinations like Hong Kong, Philippines and Papua New Guinea.

Value growth is lower, reflecting the lower value per kg for product going to these countries.

Imports have dropped around 20,000 tonnes in shipped weight terms over the past 12 months. As I wrote last year, it seemed at that time that we had very high stock levels in freezers and that it would seem this would eventually correct itself.

This has happened with the imports to the end of May down at around 134,000 tonnes compared to levels consistently above 150,000 tonnes a year ago.

The impact in terms of consumption change and shifts in market share between imported and domestic product are minimal; Australian pork continuing to have a share of the ham and bacon market of around 30%.

Pork for consumersDespite the dynamics of supply,

demand for Australian pork continues to rise, particularly into the domestic fresh meat market.

Increases in our share of fresh meat have for many years underpinned the industry’s capacity to remain viable in the face of northward heading import volumes.

Per capita fresh pork consumption has increased to 9.24 kgs from 8.86 kg last year.

Our platform campaigns for fresh pork promotion are continuing to be supported: namely the ‘Get Some Pork On Your Fork’ television and radio advertising, the PorkStar food service promotions and the April PorkFest.

Bolder repertoires of food styles especially for particular market segments through a big expansion in food media over the past years have helped to expand the market to considering pork as a more mainstream alternative.

Strategic planningThe past 12 months or so has seen

the evolution of the next APL Strategic Plan 2015–2020, with consultation from pig producers all over Australia, the Australian Government and its agencies, the supply chain and other interested stakeholders.

The last five years has seen the consolidation of the industry and its balance sheets after the profitability crisis late last decade.

The next five years is planned to be a phase for opening up and looking more aggressively at the next opportunities for growth – particularly in industry value given the present limitations in our ability to adequately reinvest in industry expansion.

Included within this is an intention to look outside Australia’s borders for international marketing opportunities for premium ‘healthy, safe and natural’ Australian pork. Building an international positioning requires significant time and patience, so short term shifts in volume are unlikely; the big moves in business growth are likely to be further over the five year horizon.

Today and tomorrow’s innovationsWith the consistency and alignment

of research, development and extension (R,D&E) activities between APL and the Pork Cooperative Research Centre (Pork CRC), the Australian pork industry continues to be well served by a productive research sector.

Australia punches internationally above its weight when it comes to the CONTINUED ON PAGE 22 w

generate heat for use in piggeries and to remediate effluent streams to provide water with markedly reduced pathogen and organic matter loads for wash down purposes.

It was abundantly clear at our 2014 stakeholders’ meeting in Melbourne in November that research is alive and well in Australia and we’ve developed excellent research infrastructure and have successfully engaged very smart scientists and students to be involved in Pork CRC and APL programs.

Now the challenge is to maintain momentum. The Pork CRC and industry plan to transition Pork CRC to an alternative research model will be central to this.

I look forward to 2015 and anticipate our industry will continue to progress and prosper.

Meanwhile, here’s a summary of highlights from our four programs in the past year or so.

Program OneIn Program 1 (Reduced Confinement

of Sows and Piglets) producers and researchers shared their experiences at two Pork CRC/APL sow housing workshops in April 2014 in Toowoomba and Melbourne.

We released the manual ‘Improving the welfare of group housed sows’, in conjunction with the workshops. One of the biggest findings by researchers was that sows adapt very rapidly to mixing and reduced space and Dr Jean-Loup from Melbourne University demonstrated that if a few simple rules are followed, excellent reproduction can be achieved whether sows are grouped at weaning or 5-6 days after mating.

Our research on alternative farrowing systems continued to show that apart from being costly, they generally result in higher piglet mortality.

Systems from Europe and the UK also require considerable modification for Australian situations, especially for our summer.

The UMB pens (Norwegian), investigated by Dr Greg Cronin at Sydney University, were a classic example – they required changes to the piglet environment and nest area and resulted in considerably higher piglet mortality compared to the conventional crate.

Nevertheless, the science in the project was exceptional and the outcomes on the sow’s nesting behaviour were particularly interesting.

I think 2014 was generally a good

one for Australia’s pork producers, with prices relatively stable and most producers receiving prices above cost of production, so an okay outcome, considering it’s been a topsy-turvy year, for some sectors of our economy.

Significantly, Australian pork producers continued their transition to group housing for gestating sows in 2014, with best guestimates that 70% of producers have transitioned.

This is a critical component of our industry’s strategy to differentiate from our international competitors. I believe this change contributed to prices remaining relatively high and while feed costs were also relatively high, particularly in the north, there was room for reasonable margins and a general feeling of optimism was apparent across the industry.

Annual report

Pork CRC’s annual report for 2013-14 is available on our website, www.porkcrc.com.au and if you spend time to read it, you’ll marvel at some of the breakthroughs our researchers have made across our four programs.

I predict there are more to come in reproduction, enhancing satiety and reducing aggression in sows after grouping, diagnostics for respiratory and enteric pathogens, alternative health strategies, genetics of robustness and resilience, eating quality, grain processing, biogas production and the use of aerobic digesters and algae to

Dr Roger CampbellCEO Poultry CRC

The results suggest it may be possible to provide the sow’s behavioural needs within conventional systems and this is being followed up.

We are also attempting to develop a farrowing system index which acknowledges the needs and welfare of the sow, the needs and welfare of the piglet and needs and costs to the producer.

There is still a long way to go, but good basic research is essential to keep us ahead of the curve in what has become a contentious, poorly understood issue by welfare groups, consumers and the community in general.

Program Two In Program 2 (Herd Health

Management) we’ve seen the development of new diagnostics for a range of pathogens, progress on the selection of pigs for robustness and disease resilience and some very novel alternative health therapies.

Many of the latter have been developed and tested by researchers at DAFWA and validated in the commercial facilities of our participants.

Several discovered at DAFWA and by Eugeni Roura at the University of Queensland will be incorporated in specialty products which should be available to the industry in 2014. They are designed to enhance piglet performance and heath.

Dr Alison Collins from NSW DPI has produced some fascinating information on the build-up of Lawsonia over time in grower-finisher pigs and how this is affected by vaccination, pen hygiene and antimicrobial use.

Alison has used a quantitative PCR test developed in a Pork CRC project to measure the population of the pathogen and to link this with animal performance. It is clearly an insidious disease and it appears that there is considerable room for innovation in its management. The data should enable veterinarians to better target vaccination and antimicrobial use to minimise the impact of the disease.

Program Three In Program 3 (Healthy Pork

Consumption), there continues to be a concerted effort by researchers, processors and retailers to improve the eating quality of Australian pork. One of our Postdocs, Dr Cameron Jose from CONTINUED ON PAGE 21 w

DAFWA, demonstrated a link between ultimate pH of the loin and eating quality assessed by consumer panels.

He showed that in one supply chain the fail rate (judged as terrible or below average eating quality) of loins with low pH was some 20% higher than for loins of normal pH.

It would also appear that the ultimate pH of Australian pork is declining so we have a challenge. In other projects conducted across a number of supply chains by Heather Channon and Prof Frank Dunshea at University of Melbourne, fail rates, especially for the loin and silver side roast, remain unacceptably high.

However, the percentage of pork rated as good or to have premium eating quality is consistently higher than that which fails the consumer tests and we probably have enough information now to identify pork in the different categories and to label and/or manage it accordingly.

It is fascinating, but frustrating research and our researchers are working closely with all supply chains across Australia to enhance the eating quality of Australian pork. A study by Karen Moore (DAFWA) on immunocastration found no significant difference in the objective meat quality between entire males or immunocastrates, but in eating quality tests the fail rate was significantly higher for pork from entire males.

The results simply confirm that entire males are not necessarily conducive to improving eating quality and there is little relationship between objective measures of meat quality and consumer perceptions.

We continue to generate interesting information in our research on the human health attributes of Australian pork. In a follow up with participants in a project to look at the effects of pork on the iron status of young women Dr Samir Samman from Sydney University found that women who included pork in their diet actually consumed significantly less fast (bad) food and more fruit and vegetables than those on the control diet or those who took an iron supplement during the study.

In two other follow up studies on pork consumption by children and participants in a pork study looking at cardiovascular health and weight loss, researchers reported that consumers thought pork was as healthy as other meats, but considered its use in meals was limited by the lack of exposure compared to other meats and by the lack of information on recipes and how to cook pork.

Most also thought all fresh and manufactured pork was from Australia. We have invested in a project with

APL on how to cook pork. There is something about pork and human health and we need to get the messages out there.

Program FourIn Program 4 (Carbon Conscious

Nutrient Inputs and Outputs) the Bioenergy Support Program (BSB) at the University of Queensland, managed by Dr Stephan Tait, continues to lead the industry in the efficient and cost effective production of Biogas.

Stephan and his team also have a number of projects on maximising methane production from covered ponds, developing rapid and affordable tests to assess the efficiency with which ponds are operating and looking at alternative uses of methane.

Stephan works closely with our producer based advisory group, industry in general and the regulators and the program is a real asset for the Australian industry.

Outcomes from research on grain processing and feed manufacture continue to demonstrate there is still considerable money left on the table in how we prepare grain and feed for pigs. Tony Edwards of Ace Livestock Consulting demonstrated that using a disc mill to reduce the particle size of wheat/barley based diets from approximately 1.1 mm to 0.55 mm improved the feed efficiency of finisher pigs by 5.6%.

Our research on NIRS to rapidly determine the nutritive value of grains and protein meals has continued to demonstrate considerable variation in the DE of grains and the reactive lysine content of soy bean meal and canola meal.

For grains, much of the variation in DE is associated with growing conditions and can only be taken into account in diet formulation by using the AusScan calibrations to measure what you have.

Algae projectsWe have also invested in two

innovative algae projects. One is with Murdoch University and is based on a discovery by Jeremy Ayres (honours student) of algae species which grow in sand filtered but otherwise untreated, piggery effluent.

The other is with Flinders University to establish a demonstration site at the SARDI/ University of Adelaide piggery at Roseworthy, involving an aerobic digester and algal ponds to generate heat for use in the piggery and reduce the pathogen and nitrogen loads in the effluent so the water can be reused for cleaning and other purposes.

Research across all programs is extremely active and our researchers and students remain enthusiastic and

innovative, hence on behalf of the board and industry I thank them all for their contributions to the Pork CRC. Without them and our participants, who work closely with researchers and students, the necessary technologies and knowledge to produce high integrity Australian pork and differentiate the Australian industry would not be generated.

This year Dennis Mutton completed his first full year as chair of Pork CRC and we welcomed Affiliate Professor Pauline Mooney to the board. She replaced Professor Simon Maddocks as SARDI’s representative in March after Simon left SARDI for Charles Darwin University.

In closing, I thank my executive team for their loyalty, Pork CRC directors for their advice and guidance, the Federal Government and our participants for their continued support and input and our researchers and students for the excellent science they produced, so often in conjunction with passionate pork producers.Dr Roger CampbellCEO Pork CRC

recognition of our science and our scientists.

The natural split in APL taking the lead in productivity based R&D and the Pork CRC working in the area of ‘high integrity’ indicators like animal welfare, the environment, pork health and nutrition, and emissions management has been a great success.

With the Pork CRC due to wind up in 2019, we are looking to the future in a model which can sustain this healthy R,D&E environment post the Pork CRC. A key part of this future model will be to make it attractive for external participants such as pig production companies and major pork researchers to be closely involved.

The processes around objective setting and project commissioning in the pork industry and APL have become a template for many in the rural research world.

Involvement by pig farmers and industry specialists who understand the challenges open for addressing through new innovation have helped focus our efforts into the areas that really matter for success.

Community engagementThe past year has been challenging

for the dozen or so pig farms which have been raided by activists and had defamatory video footage place for all to see on the web.

APL continues to do our best to help manage the impact of these invasions for our members through our toolkit, engagement with the media to balance the debate around intensive farming, discussions with government around appropriate future policy to help provide the legal protection pig farmers are entitled to and policing authorities around preventative strategies.

While the vegan philosophy underpinning the thinking of these farm invaders is not supported by mainstream society, we need as an industry to retain the trust of our consumers and the community that we are doing the right thing and acting consistently with how they would want us to produce their pork.

We envisage that over the next years, it will be a positive move for our industry to improve the overall transparency of the way we farm pigs and the production practices we use. This could be achieved through opening up our farms more regularly to visits, web based camera technologies, case studies and independent scrutiny.

We’ll be working with industry leaders to discuss the best way for us to maintain this trust through greater transparency.

The Australian pork industry has for some years been recognised for its leadership in facing up to challenges to its success as opposed to entrenching ourselves in the past. We have no intentions of shifting away from this cultural lynchpin and seek to profoundly understand the needs of the consumer and the community in directing our ways for the future.

Our government partnersThe Australian Government as

a major funder of APL (through the matching of our levy funded research and development expenditure) acts as a major investor in the Australian pork industry. As such, they have rightly an acute interest in the returns on that investment for the Australian tax-payer. APL works hand in hand with government to ensure that our activities are completely aligned with the interests of the nation and its communities.

The conditions under which the Australian government partially funds APL are outlined in our Statutory Funding Agreement. Regular meetings with government representatives ensure that there are “no surprises” in where that funding is going and what outcomes are generated, in meeting the conditions of the agreement.

One of those conditions is the conducting on a three yearly basis a Performance Review of APL’s activities and conduct. One of these reviews was conducted in the 2013–14 year by ACIL Allen Consulting and showed that “There is ample evidence to suggest that APL is a strategically focused and well organised organisation that is accountable to producers, industry and Government”.

Government at a national and state level also substantially contributed to the development of the APL Strategic Plan 2015–2020, and its launch at Parliament House, Canberra on 28 August 2014.

APL operationsThe success of the APL

Performance Review is a small demonstration of the expertise, dedication and achievement of the APL staff in Canberra and other sites around the country. Most producers are not able for one reason or another to see the work that we do on their behalf. APL’s staff, like the pig producers they work on behalf of, are proud to belong to a leadership industry for rural Australia. Our culture strives for continuous improvement, better outcomes and recognition, consistent with how our industry operates.Andrew SpencerChief Executive Officer
