Ray Nickel, spokesman for the B.C. Poultry Association Emergency Operations Centre, said farmers and operators are using the lessons they learned over the past year to better prepare for potential outbreaks this fall."After the onslaught from last year, we had a very quiet summer, which we were quite thankful for," he said in an interview Thursday."We're fully expecting to have increased pressure here, particularly the next month to two months," he said.
Almost half of the birds culled were in B.C. from 104 flocks that have been infected since April 2022. Nickel said biosecurity and emergency management measures introduced after a devastating avian flu outbreak in 2004 helped to control similar outbreaks in 2009 and 2014 in B.C. There has also been co-ordination with B.C.'s Agriculture Ministry to better prepare farmers for an influx in avian flu cases, Nickel added.
Agriculture Minister Pam Alexis said in a news release Thursday that avian flu can be devastating for farmers, the local economy and the food supply.
