A Long Island farm has been forced to euthanize over 100,000 ducks after a detection of bird flu among their flock. The drastic measure aims to prevent the spread of the highly contagious virus, affecting not only the farm but also the broader community and poultry industry.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
This unfortunate event highlights the critical need for improved tracking and prevention methods in agriculture. Technological advancements could support better monitoring of livestock health, reducing the likelihood of such large-scale culling. Enhanced data collection and real-time health tracking through sophisticated apps could provide early warnings and more effectively manage outbreaks. Digital solutions can significantly contribute to maintaining animal health and food security.
