Fresh bird flu crisis looms - Shooting UK

Despite radical measures by the French government, the most deadly form of bird flu, High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza, or HPAI, has continued to tear through poultry units in the country’s northwest. The latest figures show that there have been 256 proven positive cases in the country since August this year. This puts the country on track for a new record worst ever bird flu season. Particularly worrying for the UK shooting community is the continuing heavy concentration of cases in gamebird rearing areas. France’s largest gamebird producer, L’envol de Retz, is based in Loire Atlantique, a department which has had 12 cases. This alone would be cause for concern. However, even more worrying is the situation of Gibovendée, another large supplier based near Chambretaud in Vendée. This area has had nearly half of all of France’s cases of the disease and is under the most severe restrictions as vets and civil servants struggle to stifle the outbreak. An outbreak, which took hold slightly later in the year last year, caused extreme disruption to gamebird supply with many shoots operating either a curtailed shooting calendar or no shooting at all as a result. Many UK reared birds begin their lives in France either as chicks or as fertilised eggs supplied for hatching. The crucial stages of gamebird production are still a few months away and there is still time to bring the outbreak under control, however there is little to suggest that progress is being made. Gamekeeper Kevin Hart told Shooting Times that he is concerned about the prospects for the season ahead. Kevin said: “A lot of shoots were very short this year and we all know of cases of shoots closing down and keepers being laid off as a result. There are also shoots which have been mothballed in the hope that problems will be resolved this year. If there isn’t a good supply of birds this year the result could be catastrophic.”

What is the potential impact of bird flu for the 2023 season?

The supply of game birds from France to the UK was heavily disrupted in the spring due to import restrictions and lack of supply arising from an exceptionally severe outbreak of bird flu in northern France. Game bird production in France is centred on the Pays de la Loire region, particularly the departments of Vendée and Loire Atlantique. Both of these departments have already begun to record bird flu cases. Since the first of August, which is considered to be the new bird season in France, Vendée has recorded 12 cases and Loire Atlantique has recorded two. While these cases may drop off as winter progresses, it is more typical for case numbers to increase as weather becomes colder and more migrating wildfowl arrive. The French government has now raised the risk level for bird flu from ‘moderate’ to ‘high’. Explaining this decision, Marc Fesneau, Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty, said: “In a context marked by unprecedented persistence of the virus in the environment and strong migratory activity of wild birds, it is essential to strengthen preventive measures.” Dominic Boulton of Aim to Sustain and the Game Farmers Association told Shooting Times: “It is far too early to make predictions about the impact Avian Influenza (AI) will have on our supplies of eggs and chicks next year, whether from domestic sources or overseas. The situation is being monitored closely and we are liaising with our colleagues in France and with DEFRA to make sure that every effort is made to avoid a repeat of the problems we saw last spring. Whether there are shortages or surpluses will depend as much on demand as it will on supply.” Concerns continue to be raised in the shooting community of the impact of AI, both on this season but also in the long term. Anti-shooting campaign groups have used the issue to lobby against game bird imports, gamebird releases and against wildfowling. In the UK, the picture continues to be very concerning with 109 cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza recorded since the start of October.
