Epizootic Rabbit Enteropathy (ERE) casts a long shadow over the expansion of rabbit meat production, particularly in Europe and North Africa. This highly contagious and often fatal intestinal disease can devastate rabbit farms, causing mortality rates of 30-80%.
The lack of a definitive cause for ERE makes it a challenging opponent. While some studies point towards a potential bacterial culprit, the exact mechanism remains elusive. This hinders the development of effective vaccines or preventative measures.
The economic impact of ERE is significant. Outbreaks can lead to substantial animal losses, reduced farm output, and lost income for producers. This discourages investment in the rabbit meat sector, limiting its overall growth potential.
Addressing ERE requires a multi-pronged approach. Further research is crucial to identify the causative agent and develop effective control strategies. Additionally, improved biosecurity practices and farm management techniques can help minimize disease outbreaks. By overcoming the hurdle of ERE, the rabbit meat industry can unlock its full potential as a sustainable and healthy protein source.
