BEIJING - Some poultry farmers in the province at the heart of China’s coronavirus outbreak are having to euthanize young birds amid new rules designed to contain the disease that have paralyzed live animal transport, feed supply and slaughterhouses.
“So many young birds were safely disposed of,” said the official, who didn’t say how many animals had been killed or how. He declined to be identified because he is not allowed to talk to media. Videos have circulated on Chinese social media this week appearing to show farmers in unspecified locations burying chicks, ducklings and adult ducks alive, as well as eggs. Reuters could not verify the veracity of the videos, nor when and where they were filmed.
“Prices hit a bottom of 5 cents per duckling. Nobody knows what to do with their production,” he said.
