In P?guilhan, in the Comminges, near Boulogne-sur-Gesse, bird flu struck earlier this week in the duck farm of the Castex family.
The gavage room, empty since before the holidays, welcomed more than 800 ducks, Monday morning, respecting the delays of reintroduction compared to the reported case in Bezues Bajon, the neighboring Gers. "On Tuesday morning, we found dead ducks," says Fr?d?ric Castex, national president of the Syndicat des Producers of Foie Gras and a member of CIFOG (Interprofessional Committee of Foie Gras). The analysis carried out by the DDCSPP (Departmental Directorate of Social Cohesion and Protection of Populations) confirmed the presence of the very virulent virus. On Thursday, 840 ducks were killed. It's dramatic. It will take 80 days with the disinfections before being able to reintroduce other ducks ". Fr?d?ric Castex deplores "an economic loss that will not be offset by State aid and a heavy file to mount".
