GIS maps of the poultry farms in the UAE: Fig. 1 displays the developed GIS map of the commercial poultry farms in the UAE. It contains several layers of information; some of them are shown such as farm location, major cities, roads, villages and weather stations. Some are not shown, such as density of population.ARCGIS analysis concluded that all the registered farms are located in 11,112 km2 which represents 13.3% of the total UAE area. It is obvious that commercial poultry farms distribution is correlated to the distribution of the large cities in the country while all the farms are located in the Eastern and Northern regions where the Western region has no commercial farms at all (Fig. 2).Figs 3 and 4 display the meteorological data collected from the weather stations. Analysis included that most of wind head towards was South-West direction in both July and August. Wind speed ranged from 8.2 to 12.0 km/hr in July where it ranged from 5.6 to 13.7 km/hr in August. ArcGIS 10.0® was used to represent and analyze the collected data as shown in Fig. 4 and Tables 5 and 6. Using the ArcGIS 10.0, the following conclusions were drawn:1.The distance between RAK Poultry & Feeding farm and Degdaga farm is the least among the calculated distances among poultry farms in the country.2. Farms crossing a 20 m buffer of the roads: An analysis was carried out to find out the farms which do not comply with the 20m distance to the road. Boarders of two farms in both Dubai and Sharjah found less than 20 m away from the national highway.3. Major poultry farms are located within an area of 11,112 km2 to serve the major cities around it.4. No villages were located within 100 m of any of the studied commercial farms.5. With a 20 km buffer of the large cities, 4 farms are intersecting with inside the residential area boarders, furthermore, Al-Ain zoo is already very close to highly populated areas in Al-Ain city.6. More researches about projected cities growth will be useful for urban planning and relocation of some farms in addition to licensing new farms.The collected data are listed in many tables such as Table 4a and 4b which contain an information about a company name,annual production, litter buyer, distance to slaughterhouse and source of chicks. Most of the farms receive their chicks from Europe, USA or KSA where few of them use locally hatched chicks.It was found that litter production ranges from 600 to 27,500 tons/year; most of this amount is utilized by local fertilizer company where it is more than 10 km away from some of the farms. On the other hand, 10 companies have to send the broiler to slaughterhouses 500 to 2000 m away. Transporting such amounts of litter and live birds on the highway represents a potential risk of broadcasting pathogens on other farms sharing the same highway and in addition to the environment. At least one of the farms gives it away to local schools without treatment which imposes a potential risk of students’ health problems.Of the surveyed farms 65% are closer than 200 m of national highways or small-scale farms. One farm is located 6 km away from an animal preserve. It was found that, in some locations poultry production units started for long years before the residential areas grown to surround them and created a serious risk of bird-human epidemics like the avian flu to be easily exchanged. On the other hand transporting of poultry litter via highways to organic fertilizers treatment plant may broadcast pathogens to the poultry houses sharing around the same highway.It was found that layer of production of the surveyed farms ranges from 5-110 million eggs per year and 5-11 million birds per year. Two farms have both layers and broilers while two have either layers and hatchery or broilers and hatchery in the same site. According to historical images from Google Earth®, residential areas are growing fast and some of the farms are already within 500 or less of the poultry farms.
