The period posing an increased risk of intro- ducing these avian in- fluenza strains will be when these migratory birds return to Australia from the northern hem- isphere, between Sep- tember and November 2022.

That said, avian in- fluenza outbreaks in poultry in Australia – including the Victo- rian outbreak in 2020 – have been due to strains of avian influ- enza that are closely re- lated to low path strains already circulating in Australian wild bird species, and have not been caused by an im- ported strain from Asia or elsewhere.

Aussie poultry sizzlers
AUSTRALIAN poultry producers are among the most efficient and hygien- ic in the world.
A result of the continued evolution of the product range is Aussie Pumps’ new Sizzler hot wash.
quality Italian triplex pump with ceramic pistons.
innovations can help pro- ducers save money, operate more efficiently and in the most hygienic manner.
The ‘need to clean’ is constant and of paramount importance to the quality of the product they produce.
Designed in Australia, the Sizzler is a high-pressure hot-wash machine, deliv- ering 1800psi or 130 bar of pressure and a flow of 10LPM.
“Everything on the ma- chine is built for quality,” Mr Hales said.
A stainless-steel roll frame is also available, as well as foaming devices for applying sanitiser for clean- ing products through the machine.
One Australian pump manufacturer has worked with producers around the country to develop a prod- uct range particularly suit- able for livestock applica- tions.
With a maximum temper- ature of 80C, the machine has the ability to eradicate bacteria.
The machine is loaded with safety controls de- signed to protect the ma- chine and operator.
Bigger machines are available in a pressure range of 3000 and 4000psi, mak- ing them suitable for even high-producing processing plants.
Aussie Pumps, with a 1ha factory in Sydney’s Norwest business district, is proud of its new ‘Sizzler’ hot-wash machine.
The Sizzler is compact in design and easy to move, with four flat-free tyred wheels.
The delayed total stop feature brings the machine to a halt 30 seconds after the gun trigger is closed – saving fuel and preventing accidents.
The company also has a range of heavy-duty cold- wash machines with flows to 28LPM and pressures as high as 5000psi.
Aussie Pumps chief en- gineer John Hales said, “We’re conscious of the need for constant reliable cleaning equipment.”
Weighing 100kg, it is de- ceptively manoeuvrable, with an integrated handle and full stainless-steel cover.
Micro-leak protection stops the machine in case of leaks in the hydraulic circuit when the gun is shut down.
These machines are avail- able in single and three- phase configuration and are compact, slow speed and long life with minimal maintenance.
“We ensure that hygiene rules are adhered to in the easiest, safest and most cost-efficient way.”
Underneath the shiny exterior, there is a heavy- duty four-pole slow-speed 1450rpm single-phase 240V motor.
Clogged nozzle control brings the machine to a stop if the nozzle in the end of the lance is blocked, which prevents the possibility of a build-up of pressure in the system.
Poultry producers can qualify for the regular spe- cials on this equipment and could receive the 100 per- cent depreciation allowance if they make an acquisition before June 30.

Australia’s avian influenza situation
OVER the past two months, there have been over 1050 new highly pathogenic avi- an influenza outbreaks reported in domestic and wild birds across Europe, Asia, Africa and North America – this is a considerable presence of virus.
shorebirds can also car- ry HPAI, and do travel between Australia and Asia.
The following has been distributed by Australia’s chief vet- erinary officer Mark Schipp.
During the next mi- gration event – March to June – most of these birds will move north and away from Aus- tralia.
While the increased presence of HPAI over- seas does increase the risk of an exotic A I being introduced into Australia, the overall risk of this occurring is still considered to be low – waterfowl appear to be largely responsi- ble for the long-distance movement of HPAI and there are no waterfowl that migrate between Asia and Australia.
Hence, the risk of viral introduction via birds migrating to Aus- tralia is low between the Australian summer and autumn.
