Church Brewing: where the customers are the congregation and the choir | SaltWirePARIS - France started vaccinating ducks against bird flu on Monday to try and stem the virus that killed millions of birds around the world, a move that prompted the United States to impose trade restrictions on French poultry imports.
The ravages caused to its flocks and fear that the virus could mutate into one transmissible to humans prompted the government to launch the nationwide vaccination campaign, making it the first poultry exporting country to do so. In total, some 64 million ducks will have to be vaccinated over a year for a total cost of 96 million euros , of which 85% will be financed by the state, producers said.
More and more governments have been looking at vaccination as a way to contain the highly contagious bird flu. However, trade barriers such vaccination can prompt have made large poultry exporters reluctant to inoculate their birds.
