Question 16162 — breeding

Summary

Mr. Marc Chavent draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture, Agri-Food and Food Sovereignty to the imminent risk of the spread of African Swine Fever (AFF) on the national territory. To date, several outbreaks of this highly contagious disease have been recorded near the French borders. Pig industry professionals are concerned about the capacity of farms to cope to the possible appearance of an outbreak in France. Pig farms, characterized by animals raised in buildings and by production cycles organized around parturitions and particularly close rotations, would face major difficulties in the event of stamping out or the need for rapid evacuation of the animals. In such a scenario, the logistical, health and financial constraints would be considerable for the operators concerned. Without support, many of them could find themselves materially unable to manage a health crisis of this magnitude. This situation raises fears of the repetition of certain difficulties observed during previous animal health crises, particularly when unsuitable practices or delays in the implementation of management measures may have contributed to the spread of the disease. Also, he asks what measures the Government intends to implement in order to protect itself against the risk of spreading FPA.
