Brazil is aiming to officially declare itself free of bird flu within the next 28 days. This announcement follows the country’s successful efforts to control and monitor the spread of the virus.
So far, all detected cases in Brazil have only been found in wild birds, not in commercial poultry farms. This has helped the country maintain its poultry exports, which are crucial to its economy. Brazil is the world’s largest exporter of chicken meat, and avoiding outbreaks in farmed birds has prevented trade restrictions from major international buyers.
According to Brazilian agricultural authorities, if no new cases are found over the next four weeks, the country will meet the international standards to regain its bird flu-free status.
The government continues to monitor bird populations closely and encourages farmers to follow strict biosecurity measures. Achieving bird flu-free status will not only protect the poultry industry but also support Brazil’s role as a global leader in food exports.
