The local poultry industry could face another devastating avian flu outbreak and need to use vaccinations urgently to avoid a catastrophe.

The South African poultry industry is calling on the minister of agriculture, land reform and rural development to step in to avert another avian flu outbreak after the local poultry industry was devasted by the H7N6 strain last year.

“In the wake of a year marred by significant losses, including the culling of 9.5 million birds, the industry is sounding the alarm for immediate intervention to avert another catastrophic outbreak,” he says. He says despite the industry’s willingness to comply, no company has yet met the rigorous requirements for the avian flu vaccination, underscoring the urgency for practical solutions.

Breitenbach says drawing on international examples, such as France’s successful vaccination of 21 million ducks, the industry emphasizes the tangible benefits of widespread vaccination in curbing HPAI outbreaks.
