Question 12265 — breeding

Summary

Ms. Marine Hamelet alerts the Minister of Agriculture, Agri-food and Food Sovereignty to the reappearance, in April 2025 in Tarn-et-Garonne, of a fatal viral disease affecting guinea fowl, known as “disease X”. This pathology, already reported in 2004, hit certain farms hard before disappearing from the national territory in 2015. Despite this history, no health protocol no specific measure has been put in place since then, no vaccine has been developed and no support or compensation measures are planned for affected breeders, whether in the farming or industrial circuits. However, since the end of 2025, this disease has also been observed in the chicken farm of a farm in Tarn-et-Garonne already affected in guinea fowl, confirming a risk of extension to other species and the possibility of wider distribution within poultry farms. Classified as an orphan disease, “disease X” remains unlisted by the ministry's services, which prevents any official recognition and deprives breeders of any economic or logistical support in the event of an epidemic. She would like to know the Government's position on this subject and the urgent measures it intends to take in order to act quickly, fill this gap. crawl space, put in place a monitoring and management protocol and support guinea fowl breeders - and now potentially poultry breeders - facing a proven risk of health and economic crisis.
