Extreme heat kills 6,000 tons of poultry in France
The extreme heat wave affecting France has hit the agriculture and livestock sectors. While 6,000 tons of poultry have died in Brittany, government officials announced that credit and compensation support will be provided to farmers.
The extreme heat wave affecting France has caused heavy losses in the agriculture and livestock sectors. French official Genevard announced that 6,000 tons of poultry have died in Brittany.
In an assessment on BFMTV, Genevard noted that poultry cannot cool down when the temperature rises above 40 degrees. He stated that such extreme temperatures trigger animal deaths.
Announcing that the government has stepped in to support farmers, Genevard said that credit opportunities will be provided for breeders to install fans and misting systems. It was stated that these credits, particularly targeting poultry farmers, aim to prepare for future heat waves.
Genevard also reported that he will meet with insurance companies this week to ensure that compensation for the sector is paid quickly. The official stressed the need to improve water storage capacities, saying, "If we do not increase our storage capacity, we will not be able to fight climate change."
France has been struggling with extreme heat conditions since June 18. While hospitals have experienced congestion due to the temperatures, 109 people died in Paris on June 26 in a single day. In some homes, hospitals and schools without air conditioning, windows were covered with thermal blankets to try to lower the indoor temperature.
