# Limitations of current avian influenza compensation - Food & Agribusiness

> Article examines limits of current avian influenza compensation schemes as outbreaks grow larger and more frequent. The US poultry industry lost 128.8 million birds to HPAI and preventive culling between April 2015 and March 2024, with the 2023-2024 epidemic following only two years after the 2022 outbreak. Vaccination and compensation policy are under debate.
