SA poultry farmers warn of chicken and egg shortages after bird flu outbreak

South African poultry farmers have warned of possible chicken and egg shortages as they battle what the industry says is the worst bird flu outbreak ever to hit the country.


 
Producer Quantum Foods said on Friday that this year it had lost almost two million chickens – worth a total of more than R100 million – because of the disease.

“The bird flu outbreak is the worst that South Africa has witnessed,” fellow producer Astral said in a trading update on Thursday.

“(It) has already caused short supplies of table eggs into the market, and it is expected that the supply of poultry meat into the value chain could be affected negatively in the coming months.”

The outbreak has cost it R220 million so far, the company said.

One of the continent’s major poultry producers, South Africa reported the first bird flu cases in commercial farms in April, according to an industry group.

Earlier this month, the South African Poultry Association (SAPA) said the country was contending with two different strains of the virus, the infamous H5N1 and a new strain identified as H7N6.

The latter was spreading through the northeastern provinces of Mpumalanga and Gauteng “at an alarming rate”, according to Astral.

Bird flu does not typically infect humans. But H5N1 is increasingly infecting mammals worldwide, from sea lions in Argentina to foxes in Finland, raising fears it could pass on more easily to humans.

The virus has typically been confined to seasonal outbreaks, but since 2021 cases have emerged year-round, and across the globe, leading to what experts say is the largest outbreak ever seen.

SAPA said the number of avian flu cases in South Africa this year was higher than in any year since the first outbreaks were reported in commercial farms in 2017.

Rugby glory: Springboks Krynauw Otto, where is he now?

In the annals of South African rugby, certain names shine brighter and Krynauw Otto is undoubtedly one of those luminous stars. Born on 8 October 1971, in Belfast, Otto’s journey through the world of rugby is a story that encapsulates triumph, resilience, and life-altering challenges.

KRYNAUW OTTO: THE BEGINNING
Krynauw Otto’s rugby odyssey began as a 19-year-old when he made his provincial debut for South Eastern Transvaal in 1990. He later donned the jersey of Northern Transvaal, eventually securing a spot in the senior side in 1993.

A pivotal moment in his provincial career came in 1998 when he played a crucial role in the Blue Bulls’ Currie Cup victory, a testament to his growing prowess as a lock.

RUGBY WORLD CUP
Otto’s journey to international recognition reached its pinnacle in 1995 when he earned his first cap for the South African national team during the Rugby World Cup against Romania at Newlands in Cape Town. This was a defining moment in Otto’s career, making him a part of the esteemed Springbok fraternity.

However, the crowning jewel of Otto’s career was undoubtedly the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Although he only played in two pool games and the quarter-final, Otto’s presence was felt throughout the tournament.

INJURY
Otto’s journey was not all sunshine and glory. In 2000, tragedy struck when he suffered a subdural haematoma in the left frontal area of his brain during a match against Australia. This life-threatening injury forced Otto into early retirement at the age of 28, leaving him to ponder the uncertainty of life beyond rugby.

Despite the adversity he faced, Krynauw Otto’s indomitable spirit led him to find a new purpose beyond the rugby pitch. While his playing career was cut short, Otto found solace in coaching and later transitioned into the corporate world.Currently serving as the commercial head of the New Reclamation Group, a recycling-focused company, Otto has carved out a successful post-rugby career.

RETIREMENT
Otto remains deeply passionate about the outdoors, with a penchant for wildlife photography and spending quality time with his family. His two children, Krynauw and Mineke, provide him with ample inspiration and joy.
