Sovereign Food Investments Ltd (Sovereign Foods or the Company) announced this morning in a SENS announcement that it has detected avian influenza (AI) at a single layer house on a farm that forms part of the Company’s broader Uitenhage operations.
Approximately 5 000 birds have been culled, which represent approximately 1% of Uitenhage’s production pipeline. Sovereign Foods’ management is currently taking the appropriate steps and following the prescribed protocols to prevent AI from spreading to other farms. The Hartbeespoort operation in Gauteng remains unaffected.
