New outbreak of bird disease in SC. The risk now is to the neighbors
Poultry production in Brazil is on high alert. On Tuesday, the third Newcastle disease outbreak in Brazil was confirmed at a commercial turkey farm in Nova Erechim, in western Santa Catarina.
A bird flu outbreak in Brazil has prompted maximum alert in the country's poultry production. A third case of Newcastle disease was confirmed at a commercial turkey farm in Nova Erechim, Santa Catarina state, which supplies MBRF, the company behind the Sadia and Perdigão brands. The Brazilian Agriculture Ministry has established a 60-day sanitary barrier in four municipalities, covering the areas where the three confirmed cases are located.
The outbreak has already led to export restrictions from China, Saudi Arabia, Chile, Malaysia, and Mexico, with concerns that the virus could spread to other major poultry-producing states, potentially leading to further trade restrictions.
