The Government of Canada committed nearly CA$2 million to four poultry industry organizations to develop insurance tools protecting producers from avian influenza losses. The funding was announced at the National Poultry Show in London, Ontario, on April 4.
The projects are aimed at managing financial risk and improving access to disease information.
Better insurance coverage can keep Canadian poultry producers in production after an outbreak, reducing the risk of prolonged supply shortfalls. The impact on feed and commodity prices is minor.
