Indea-MT adopts sanitary measures after confirmation of avian influenza in subsistence birds

The Mato Grosso Agricultural Defense Institute (Indea-MT) began adopting sanitary measures on Sunday (08) after confirming a case of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (IAAP) in a domestic subsistence poultry farm in the municipality of Campinápolis.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa), the focus is located outside the state's industrial poultry production regions, which reduces the risk of impact on the production chain.

Indea teams are already in the municipality to inspect all properties within a 10-kilometer radius of the affected area. The actions determined include:

• Implementation of a sanitary barrier to prevent the movement of animals, people, vehicles and materials that may be contaminated;

• Sanitary slaughter of all birds on the property;

• Complete disinfection of the affected area.

Indea reinforces that there is no risk to human health from consuming chicken meat or eggs, and that these foods remain safe for consumption.
