Bird flu: Argentina halts poultry and egg exports

With the export ban, the further spread of bird flu must be stopped. Because bird flu did not spread through the consumption of meat and eggs, producers were able to continue to sell their products in Argentina.

A case of bird flu was previously reported at a poultry farm in Río Negro state. So far, only cases of wild animals and pets have been reported in Argentina. The sale of live birds was already banned last week. If the disease is transmitted to commercial livestock, it can cause great economic losses. About 740 million chickens are slaughtered each year in the South American country. Last year, Argentina exported US$383 million worth of poultry meat.

The largest wave of avian flu ever documented is now spreading across several continents. Bird flu, also known as bird flu, is a contagious disease that mainly affects waterfowl and other birds. Experts fear that the H5N1 virus is increasingly adapting to mammals and may therefore become more dangerous to humans.
