AI outbreak could hit Ukraine’s poultry export
The recent HPAI outbreak could hurt Ukraine’s poultry exports, Ukraine’s biggest poultry producer MHP said in a statement on 10 December.
Ukraine has reported an outbreak of highly pathogenic bird flu among backyard birds in Mykolaiv Oblast in the southern part of the country. The follow-up laboratory tests revealed AI RNK of the A1 type H5 subtype, which is contagious to humans. Migrating birds could have been the causative agent source. “We are anxious about the avian influenza outbreak in the Mykolaiv region. We hope, however, that quarantine measures, currently applied in the Kadybyne village, will reduce the risks of possible further transmission of avian influenza in the region. At the same time, we note that MHP does not have production facilities in the Mykolaiv region,” said Iryna Vannykova, spokeswoman for MHP.
