Ostrich Meat Trade Interrupted by Flu Outbreak

April 19, 2011January 25, 2023 Lakshmi Yajurvedi

An outbreak of avian influenza on an ostrich farm in Oudtshoorn, Western Cape, South Africa had led to a ban on all exports of the product..  South Africa accounts for over 80% of the world’s ostrich meat production.  In an attempt to control the outbreak, 5,000 birds have been culled.  If the infection is contained, ostrich meat exports may resume next month.
