Avian flu vaccine acquisition to boost Philippines poultry

29 September, 2023

The Philippines have chosen to administer avian influenza vaccinations to poultry. They will procure these vaccines from Vaksindo, an Indonesian company specializing in animal health. Egg producers in the Philippines have reported a 20% decrease in their production, primarily attributable to the culling of over 10 million chicken layers during avian flu outbreaks. Consequently, the prices of eggs have experienced a significant surge.
