An updated data on the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture website showed that the country, the largest source of chicken in the world, is currently investigating 6 potential outbreaks of very infected bird influenza.
Brazil sold chicken products worth about $ 10 billion in the world last year, and supplied more than 5 million tons.
“People are at a state of high alert”, referring to the cases under investigation, “Carlos Favaro, Minister of Agriculture, told correspondents of television channels who gathered outside the ministry today.
“Farmers, whether on commercial farms or dawa farms, reach when they see sick animal, and this is a good thing,” he added.
He stated that Brazil will be considered free of bird flu if it is confirmed that no new cases are injured within 28 days after the first outbreak of the disease.
But this does not mean that the export will return immediately, but rather will be Brazil in a position that allows them to negotiate with buyers to reduce the restrictions imposed under health protocols.
