New avian flu outbreak hits Brazil’s free-range poultry farms

The Agricultural Defense Agency of the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso stated that the detection of the virus on a free-range poultry farm will not disrupt the state’s poultry industry operations.
Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply has confirmed a case of avian influenza at a small-scale farm in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, where poultry are raised for personal consumption only. The test result for the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) virus was officially verified by the Federal Agricultural Defense Laboratory (LFDA) in Campinas, São Paulo – the authoritative institution for laboratory analysis of sick poultry samples.
According to the Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Defense (Indea), consuming chicken meat or eggs poses no risk to human health, and such food products are safe for consumption. In an official statement, the institute noted: "The emergence of the virus on a free-range farm will not impact poultry industry activities in Mato Grosso."
A total of 30 Indea staff have been deployed for the epidemic control effort, who will conduct 24-hour on-site surveillance at the affected farm. To curb the spread of the virus in the impacted area, the institute has set up sanitary barriers to restrict the movement of animals, materials and equipment.
In addition, all poultry currently on the premises have been culled as a preventive measure. The facilities housing the infected poultry will undergo thorough cleaning and disinfection, and monitoring and inspection operations have been launched for all properties within a 3-kilometer radius of the farm.
