Avian influenza reappeared early in the South-West at the beginning of May. More than 50 outbreaks recorded in duck and chicken farms, in particular.
900,000 animals slaughtered in the three departments of the south-west since May. Farmers already worried about end-of-year production, which is essential to maintaining the economy of the sector. The epizootic had a lull in March and April, before resuming, much earlier than usual, in mid-April and early May.
