The talk among poultry farmers isn't 'if' H5N1 avian flu arrives in Ontario this spring, but 'when.'
, the talk among poultry farmers in London, at the industry's largest gathering in Canada, isn't about "if" the virus arrives, but "when."
A fake chicken is used to demonstrate farm equipment at the National Poultry Show on Wednesday. Live poultry can no longer be used in shows because of fears that the H5N1 virus might spread to other farms or humans. Even a small misstep, such as forgetting to change boots or tools between barns, can result in life-changing consequences on the farm. A single case of avian flu detected on a chicken, turkey or duck farm would result in Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials imposing a 10-kilometre quarantine, before euthanizing every single animal.That fact isn't lost on farmers like Brock Wiebe, who works on his family's chicken farm in St. Marys, Ont.
Biosecurity has become such big business in agriculture that it's prompted entrepreneurs such as Mark Bevan to make a foray from health care to agriculture.Bevan is president of EthoGuard, a company that's found a flourishing business selling disinfectant, personal protective equipment, biosecurity training for farmers — even cleaning up after an avian flu outbreak.
