In C?te d'Ivoire, "bicycle chicken" mainly comes from Burkina Faso.
Cases of H5N1 avian influenza have been reported on Burkinabe farms. Nearly 50,000 chickens have died since February on a farm in Koubri about forty kilometers from Ouagadougou. Consequently, C?te d'Ivoire has decided to ban the import of poultry from Burkina Faso. Kouakou N'Guessan, president of the General Union of Consumer Ivory Coast (UGC-CI), justifies this decision.
Ivory Coast depends largely Burkinabe chicken. The "bicycle chicken", it is African Chicken, 60% comes from Burkina Faso. The chickens are imported live, so if there is suspicion of avian influenza, it is better to take the lead for us not to be surprise.
