According to the World Organization for Animal Health protocol, as there have been no cases in commercial birds, Brazil maintains its status as an H5N1-free country.
The Ministry of Agriculture estimates a growth of over 24%, or 75.5 mi tons. The result will stem chiefly from in soybean, corn, and cotton crops. “The domestic market, exports, and productivity gains should be the top drivers for the next decade,” the ministry reported.
According to Brazilian authorities, sanitary measures are being implemented to contain and eliminate the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) outbreak.
Considering the emergency in the country and cases confirmed in at least four states, control and containment will be intensified, the Agriculture Ministry reported. Brazil’s commercial poultry remains unaffected, however.
The government reassured that the country maintains its status as free from highly pathogenic avian influenza according to the World Organization for Animal Health.
