When the number of slaughterhouses associated with a premises is restricted to one, the maximal size of the GC in the slaughterhouse transmission network is reduced to 970 (32.6%) premises.
It seems unlikely that over 30% of premises truly send birds to more than one slaughterhouse, as indicated in the network database.
Further, the spatial distribution of slaughterhouses and customers in the network database is similar to that of the overall GB population [Jason Gittins, pers. comm.].
However, we have seen that transmission via sh-linked movements is an important factor in determining final epidemic size, and slaughterhouses that are included in the network studied may also be used by poultry premises not included here.
Using an example of the British poultry industry network comprised of farms, slaughterhouses (SHs), catching companies (CCs) and integrated companies (ICs), we show how risk-based collation of the PND has potentially led to misrepresentation of between-farm connectivity.
The company, which has acquired a network of factory farms and slaughterhouses, worries federal agriculture officials and legislators, who see it siphoning business from smaller farmers.
Today, more than 300 chefs, including Mario Batali and David Chang, rely on his growing network of small breeders and slaughterhouses for their "noncommodity" meat and poultry, including Horned Dorset lamb and Highland cattle; he recently helped open an agriturismo (a working-farm B. and B). and he will soon start a food-themed Internet radio station.
As expected, the network was dominated by movement to slaughterhouse.
The three premises that use the most slaughterhouses (two using seven different slaughterhouses and one using eight) were removed from the network.
Large epidemics are up to 28 times more likely for higher levels of slaughterhouse transmission (compared to zero), implying that the characteristics of the network of slaughterhouse links are maintained even when a time component and control measures are added, resulting in connectivity between a higher proportion of premises via this route than via any other route.
