Question 9911 — breeding

Summary

Mr. Jonathan Gery draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty to the worrying situation linked to the spread of lumpy skin disease (LCD) on French territory and more particularly to the recent appearance of a first outbreak in the Rhône department. This highly contagious bovine viral disease has already led to the total slaughter of livestock in several departments, with serious economic, human and psychological consequences for the breeders concerned. It is added to other animal pathologies such as bluetongue (BCF), in a context of structural weakening of the agricultural world. Faced with this new crisis, he wishes to question the Government on several essential points. What are the current stocks of DNC vaccines available and what is the strategy planned by the State to allow rapid and sufficient vaccination of livestock in risk areas, particularly in the event of extension to new departments? What human, material and financial resources does the State intend to mobilize in the short and medium term to anticipate and respond to the multiplication of health crises in the agricultural sector, at a time when climate change and the intensification of trade are favoring the emergence of new epidemic outbreaks? Many breeders find themselves forced to completely cull their livestock. He asks what concrete measures the Government is considering to enable farmers to recapitalize their livestock, in particular by facilitating access to healthy and available animals, in a context of tension on supply. Finally, he would like to know the specific support systems, both financial and psychological, which the Government intends to put in place to support affected breeders and avoid the human tragedies which have already had too much of an impact on the agricultural world in recent years. He recalls that supporting farmers means guaranteeing French food sovereignty, preserving territories and defending their identity. He asks that the State's response be rapid, coordinated and up to the challenge.
