SA Poultry Association still counting cost of avian flu on industry

JOHANNESBURG - The South African Poultry Association said it was still counting the cost of the recent avian flu on the industry.

“We haven’t put the rand value but if you look at the ones that have already been culled and the ones that are sick, we are looking at close to 30% of the egg industry. SAPA called on government to come to the aid of poultry farmers and businesses battered by the recent outbreak of avian flu.“There hasn’t been any sort of discussion around financial assistance for the affected producers. We hope that producers will be able to get some compensation but as an industry we have not yet discussed that with government.”
