Hundred 100,000 quails die from flooding in a typhoon Saitama Hidaka October 16 13:09
In Hidaka City, Saitama Prefecture, overflowing river water has temporarily flown into quail breeding facilities, and half of the entire population is drowning and killing 100,000 birds.
At the quail breeding facility in Shinbori, Hidaka City, Saitama Prefecture, the water of the nearby Korai River overflowed, and three buildings were flooded from 1 meter to 2 meters in height.
The facility raised 200,000 quails on top of each other to produce eggs, but the lower quail drowned and died, causing damage to 100,000.
In addition, the belt conveyor that transported the quail was damaged by flooding, and in the morning of the 16th, employees and others were able to manually carry out the quail.
The facility had been inundated about 25 years ago, but the inundation of this time is unexpected and the recovery is expected to take about six months.
Yuichiro Motoki, the manager of the company, said, “We couldn't cope with flooding far beyond our expectation. I wanted to survive even a little, so half are willing to survive. I will do my best for recovery.” It was.
