Exceptionally hot weather over the past month, which has seen temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees Farenheit, was responsible for the death of an estimated one million chickens last week.


Trade association Confédération française de l’Aviculture (CFA) has asked the government that breeders be given financial relief within the framework of emergency farming provision.


The CFA underlines that the heatwave is slowing down the growth cycle of poultry which could lead to a scarcity problem by the end of August or at the start of September.
