# The South African Poultry Association has warned that South Africa is at risk from the spread of bird flu, which has already devastated poultry in Europe, the US, and Argentina. The association has called for urgent vaccination to prevent further losses following the 2023 impact on poultry industry. The association has called on the Agriculture Department to lessen its stringent measures as farmers struggle to get approval for vaccination. Industry leaders warn that without action, food security and prices could face severe consequences.
