France has raised its bird flu risk level to “moderate” due to the rising number of avian influenza cases in neighboring countries. The new measures aim to safeguard poultry farms, with the country also reporting four outbreaks since the summer. To prevent further spread, France has initiated its second vaccination campaign for farm ducks, building on the success of last year’s efforts. The enhanced precautions aim to mitigate the potential impact of bird flu on the nation’s poultry industry.
