AVIAN INFLUENZA OUTBREAK IN THE WESTERN CAPE
Quantum Foods shareholders are hereby informed that an outbreak
of highly pathogenic avian influenza (“AI”) has been confirmed
at two of its commercial layer farms in the Western Cape.
The outbreak has only been confirmed at two layer houses but as
a preventative measure, management has decided to depopulate the
two sites in totality. This affects 9% of the Group’s current
national table egg supply. This outbreak occurred despite
stringent bio-security measures in place at all Quantum Foods
farms. Everything possible is being done to ensure that the
outbreak is isolated and contained. The affected sites will be
quarantined and depopulated. Egg production capacity which is
currently not in use will be utilised to mitigate part of this
loss of production.
Shareholders will be informed of any further significant
developments.
