EU Monitoring Report on #avianflu (Sept-Nov 2025) now online: www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajourn... 🦃Turkeys were most affected, and France reported 30+ outbreaks in vaccinated ducks 🐦Most poultry outbreaks came from wild birds, with reduced farm-to-farm spread compared to past epidemics

EU Monitoring Report on #avianflu (Sept-Nov 2025) now online:  www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajourn... 🌍Europe saw unusually high HPAI in wild birds, found in both dead and healthy-looking animals 🕊️Along the West European migration route, several countries reported large crane die-offs

#AfricanSwineFever bites! Carcass removal works to contain the spread, thus @enetwild.com has released a review of methods to find and date wild boar carcasses zenodo.org/records/1759... as well as recommendations for carcass detection and dating in different environments zenodo.org/records/1759...

A nice presentation by the one and only Temple Grandin. A nice quote …. @efsa.europa.eu at #EuFarmWelfare2050
