The reduction of the egg price can begin with a bird flu. Experts don't say so quickly

Washington (tnnd) – Could a bird flu vaccine help reduce the price for eggs? According to the National Chicken Council, egg closeness to make up over 77% of the poultry poultry affected by the virus. But experts say it's not that easy.

Dr. William Schaffner, a specialist for infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, tells us that in an ideal world a bird flu would help reduce egg prices.

If we could vaccinate these chickens, they could survive to lay the eggs, and then the eggs would come to the market, and then the prices would drop, “said Schaffner.

But he says it's not that easy. The United States is the second largest exporter of poultry products in the world, and some trading partners in overseas will not buy vaccinated chickens.

“Either the chickens or the chicken or the eggs that come from birds that have been vaccinated,” said Schaffner.

The pharmaceutical company Zoetis recently received a green light for a bird flu. However, CNN reports that the chicken -Caucus of the Congress wrote to the USDA and that the political decision -makers remind you that “poultry sector vaccinated – egg layers, turkey, broiler or ducks – will endanger the entire export market for all US poultry products”.

Osman Kazan, who specializes in economic analyzes at Tulane University, believes that despite this resistance to the chicken industry, we have to advance with these vaccines due to costs.

“We have to start implementing such types of developed vaccines. It will help with egg prices,” said Kazan.

But he also says for the future to protect domestic herds from future epidemics.

“There is also the possibility to improve the technology, vaccine technology, for the birds,” said Kazan.

The Congress chicken Caucus says that if the farmers cannot act overseas, the United States could have a massive economic loss in the range of 10 billion US dollars.
