Communications and Disclosure:

Communications is a core CFO value. All communications reflect on CFO’s regulatory role,

image and business. As such, CFO will strive to provide relevant, honest, accurate and timely

information to stakeholders about its performance and to make clear disclosures in all public

reports. CFO is committed to communicating openly about its operations without

compromising regulatory, proprietary and confidential information.

Forward Looking ,“Safe Harbor” Statement:

This presentation may contain certain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking

statements speak to conditions only as of the date on which these statements are made. CFO

cautions stakeholders not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements as a

number of factors could cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events to differ

materially from the targets, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in the forward-

looking statements.

PRODUCTION AND DEMAND, AND PRICING

37

Ontario has been experiencing accelerated growth in 2016

Feed

Chick

2016 is based on allocations to A-140

38

Chicken has been gaining market share from other

meat proteins over time

Most of the recent gains have been due to supply

challenges in beef

Chicken

Beef + Pork

39

The cattle herd declined in 2014 and began expanding in

2015 from historically low levels

Beef supply has began expanding in 2015, herd

expansion takes 3-4 years

Chicken is expected to grow above historical

norms, but at a moderating rate as beef supply

normalizes

40

2017 Outlook: moderating growth

• Growth in imports is

primarily driven by

growth in Imports

Labelled Fowl and

the Duty Relief

Program

• CFO is working

closely with CFC in

its efforts to control

broiler chicken

imports

41

Domestic production has been growing but losing market

share to imports

42

CFO focuses on improving intelligence on market demand

Data Source: Direct Link

Data for foodservice dollar and volume

sales for chicken

Foodservice Channel

Data Source: Nielsen MarketTrack

Data for retail dollar and volume sales for

the following categories:

o Fresh protein meat (chicken, beef, pork,

turkey, all other)

o Frozen chicken products

Retail Channel

*Estimated by Restaurants Canada

~62% market share* ~38% market share*

CFO has provided thought leadership to CFC stakeholders by providing

insights on all material consumer channels

CFO actively works to influence CFC stakeholders in setting allocations that

meet market demand

Actively Preparing for AI outbreaks: Business Continuity and Disease Insurance

Providing a highly effective rapid response system to manage

incidents and emergencies for Ontario’s poultry industry

70

International AI Assessment

71

• Over the past 50 years, one new or variant disease every year in North America

• In last 2 years, 41 outbreaks of H5 and H7 avian influenza (AI) in 20 countries

• Proof that outbreaks are associated with biosecurity breaches. Its not random!

Risk management is critical for the sustainability

and profitability of the Ontario poultry industry

FBCC Disease Recovery Initiative

“Sustaining the Poultry Industry in the face of Infectious Disease Outbreaks utilizing Movement Permits and Risk Transfer Programs”

• Federal government’s Agri-Risk Initiative supports research and development of new risk management tools

• FBCC just received conditional approval for a non-repayable contribution of up to $298,800 to explore business continuity and insurance options for Ontario

• Final approval pending for July 1 start up, based on finalizing contribution agreement

73

Project Benefits

• Incent farmers to report disease

• Incent farmers to accelerate C&D

• Encourage biosecurity compliance

• Avoid large unbudgeted costs

• Protect a secure food supply through business continuity

74

Two Key Project Objectives

1. Expedite approval of CFIA movement permits during reportable disease outbreaks through alignment of industry biosecurity standards

2. Identify potential AI insurance options for farmers by assessing disease risk in Ontario and holding industry consultations

75

Biosecurity Activities

1. Farmer consultations on AI risk and biosecurity protocols

2. Industry wide consultations

3. Review and align biosecurity SOPs across industry

4. Develop and simulate recovery planning protocols

76

http://www.worldpoultry.net/Health/Articles/2015/10/Keeping-the-Avian-Influenza-virus-out-2695663W/

Insurance Activities

1. Producer consultations

2. Review previous Ontario insurance studies

3. Update/create commodity specific Loss Quantification Models

4. Model disease scenarios

5. Conduct actuarial analysis on disease modelling outputs

77

Food for thought

• Do you feel adequately prepared to face an AI outbreak on your farm or in your vicinity?

• Have you made any changes to your biosecurity plan, SOPs or related practices since last spring’s Avian Influenza outbreak in south western Ontario? Please indicate what they were?

• What are your SOPs for self-quarantine in case of a suspected serious infectious disease on your farm?

• How would you compare your biosecurity standards with the suppliers and service providers who come on your farm?

• Do you currently have AI insurance? Have you ever had a policy? If not why not? Do your feel current available insurance products are sufficient in coverage? Do you feel premiums are appropriate?

Latest developments on sustainable chicken production

A world without antibiotics?

81

USA Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

(CDC)• 23,000 death/year due to AMR

• 2,000,000+ illnesses caused by AMR

Human Deaths in Europe and Cephalosporin use

in Poultry• 1,518 additional deaths

• Increase of 67,236 days of hospital admissions

AMR is a One-Health Issue

• Science lost the leading mandate

• EU - 2006 – removed use of all

antibiotics for growth promotion

• EU - 2011 – recommendation to

restrict preventive use

• UK O’Neill Report (May 19, 2016)

82

With international recognition, mandate switched from science to politics with increased media attention and legislative recognition

83

2. Restrictions on certain types

of highly critical antibiotics.

Too many antibiotics that are

now last-line drugs for

humans are being used in

agriculture; action should be

taken on this urgently by an

international panel.

3. We must improve

transparency from food

producers on the antibiotics

used to raise the meat that

we eat, to enable consumers

to make more informed

purchase decisions.

Animal Agriculture Three Key Recommendations

84

Learnings for Chicken Farmers of Ontario

• 200 delegates and speakers from 27 countries

Poultry Summit Europe 2016: A world without Antibiotics?Wake up time to improve hatchery to meet welfare and ABF Production

86

Poultry Summit addressed SIX KEY CHALLENGES of the poultry

industry, offering themed insights from a customer/consumer, scientific and industrial perspective:

1. Genetic Selection, Breeding and Early Feeding

2. Biosecurity

3. Stress Reduction on the Farm

4. Diet Optimization

5. Animal Welfare and Sustainability

6. Consumer Acceptance

A world without antibiotics?

Value creation – From Feed to Food

• Cobb geneticist

• To meet consumer demand for raising without

antibiotics, need to focus on selection for intestinal

health and nutrition

• Research on response to disease challenges

• 3-5 year window for improvements

• Wake up time to improve hatchery to meet welfare and ABF

production

• Hatchery – Superior conditions fundamental in antibiotic

free production

• Temperature, light, water, feed, stress free

• Time in hatchery is now 40% of lifespan87

Genetic Selection, Breeding and Early Feeding

Temperature

• Uniform

• Overheat, direct relationship to smaller, poor navel

• Research – lower incubation (100F) = 64% improvement organ

weights

Light

• Light schedule during incubation positively impacts bone development

• Light during and after hatch is important

Stress free

• Feed, water and light available

• Minimum handling and noise as hatch cradle is transport basket

allows rest

• More space and more hygienic

88

HatchCare and Viscon provide superior conditions

fundamental in antibiotic free production

89

HatchCare and Viscon provide superior conditions


90

• Egg shells separated from

chicks increased hygiene and

space

• Immediate access to feed and

water with

95% crop fill

• Chicks stay in hatch cradle for

delivery

• Less handling reduces stress

and increase hygiene

• 4 grams/chick

HatchCare incubators provide superior conditions


• Time of hatch and access to feed and water impacts on gut

development

• First hours of life important for intestinal growth and

development; longer you wait, the less impact nutrition will

have

• Villi length and crypt depth grow exponentially; negative

impact also exponential

• Improve immune development; when feed and water not

available, yolk is burned for tissue growth instead of immunity

• Shift from yolk lipids, to building based on carbohydrates and

protein 91

Science supporting value of early feed and water

92

• HatchCare in 4-6 hatcheries;

2 hatcheries supply 40-60%

• Chicks eat during transport

• Chicks cost 20% more

• 10-15% farmers hatch on farm

• 12-15% heavier - farm, 10% heavier -7 days, 5% heavier - processing (saves

1-2 days); farmer report less antibiotic use

• Several farmer hatchery Co-ops have arisen to control chick inputs; more

integration - “farmers independent and want to maintain control”

Netherlands chicken production starts with quality chicks

• HatchCare in 4-6 countries - how do we promote in Ontario?

• USA – Bell and Evans, Fredericksburg, PA

• Canada – Synergy Agri Group, Nova Scotia

• PIC Poultry Health Day – June 9

5.Animal Welfare and Sustainability

6.Consumer Acceptance

A world without Antibiotics?

Value creation from Feed to Food

• Improvements in hatchery biosecurity through technology

and automation

• Dead and infertile eggs removed

• In-ovo vaccination of fertile eggs only

• Chicks separated from egg shells

• Chicks remain in hatch baskets (not moved, handled or

conveyed)

• Discussed tool for farmers to self assess biosecurity; level of

biosecurity of farmers in Netherlands unknown

• Question regarding cleaning and disinfecting between

flocks; science not available (farmers in Netherlands clean

and disinfect between each flock)95

Hatchery and on-farm biosecurity are key to reduce

challenges when growing without antibiotics

• Salmonella testing in all broiler flocks in Netherlands at 4

weeks (mandated by processor) – slaughtered at end of day

• Norway – Salmonella positive broiler flocks are culled and not

processed

• Campylobacter in Canada (PHAC research)

• remains number one cause of foodborne illness; linked to

Category 1 resistance

• most important source of contamination appears to be barn

and farm environment, particularly in barns that were

improperly cleaned and disinfected, had insufficient

downtime between flocks and poor biosecurity practices

96

Increased pressure for on-farm monitoring and control of

Salmonella and Campylobacter

97


2.Biosecurity


4.Diet Optimization




Value creation from Feed to Food

• Feed additives have been used for the last 30 years in

poultry

• reduces pathogenic bacteria

• modulates and increases beneficial gut microflora to

take their place

• improves health and performance

• Research to improve availability and impact of various feed

additives

Animal welfare and sustainability important to balance

when raising birds without antibiotics

98

Diet optimization is an important tool to raise birds without

antibiotics

• Tesco Approach: Outcome Measures (OMS) – move towards

use of outcomes derived from animal based measures in

both farm and slaughter situations

• % mortality, leg culls, hock burn, pododermatitis
