New Zealand's broilers bird flu free
Biosecurity New Zealand has confirmed that New Zealand's broilers, poultry
raised for their meat, are avian influenza free.
The survey, New Zealand's first national survey of broiler poultry, was
completed as part of the country's surveillance programme and international
effects to learn more about the bird flu and its movements.
The
survey on layer hens is due within a few weeks. Biosecurity New Zealand
is also planning checks on domestic birds, such as ducks and geese plus wild
bird populations.
New Zealand's Poultry Industry Association expects the
survey results will help boost the country's poultry meat and eggs
exports.
