Interviewed by Denise Maerker, the official said already requested protocol producers their reports on the number of hens culled due to bird flu. further reported that they are expediting all necessary protocols to speed egg imports due to the scarcity of product starts recording. A direct question on whether there is shortage of the product, the official said, "begins to manifest itself and has to do with the phenomenon of bird flu (...) the issue goes beyond compliance with the law, and not just speculation, the market contracted and increased demand.

Mexico-11 million slaughtered poultry from bird flu in Jalisco

MEXICO CITY, Mexico, Aug. 21, 2012. - The Government of Mexico announced the start of the second stage of poultry vaccination before the outbreak of avian influenza AH7N3, which has led to the culling of nearly 11 million birds.

The National Service of Health, Food Safety and Quality (Senasica) announced in a statement that the second stage will begin this week on farms in the region of Los Altos, Jalisco, and provides for the application of 90 million additional doses to 88.3 million applied in the first phase.

Additionally, we have a reserve bank of 53 million vaccines and viral seeds for greater production if necessary, according to the director of Senasica, Enrique Sanchez Cruz.

He also revealed that as of this month begins the repopulation of laying hens and will be around five million birds that enter monthly empty poultry units in which the agency intervened.

He explained that this move will gradually restore egg production that was before the outbreak of avian influenza.

To eradicate the virus from poultry farms, SENASICA, working with producers, has made stamping 10.9 million birds from 19 June to 20 August.

In making an assessment of the first phase of combat the outbreak, Sanchez explained that this figure must be added corresponding to the measures applied by the poultry before the announcement of the presence of the virus to the authorities and the subsequent voluntary sacrifice made by own poultry farmers to protect their flocks.

To date, there have been sampled in 438 production units in 45 municipalities of Los Altos, and only 43 of them (commercial farms posture) have tested positive for AH7N3 virus.

The official reported that the program has strengthened epidemiological surveillance in the area and have been tested on farms in 22 of the 32 states of the country, with negative results.

For now, the outbreak is localized exclusively in the highlands of Jalisco, said.

The bird flu epidemic has caused an increase in the price of eggs and chicken meat in the domestic market, so that the authorities are considering reducing import tariffs on these products at competitive prices.

Sanchez said the measures in support of the Secretariat of Economy to normalize the supply of eggs, has issued two weeks ago the health requirements to be met by producing countries that want to market their product in Mexico at this juncture of AH7N3.

The National Poultry Union reported today that the increase in the price of a kilo of eggs is due primarily to the depopulation that caused the outbreak of avian influenza in Jalisco and the increase in the prices of corn and soybean meal used by the poultry industry to feed the birds.:tiphat:

Mexico Slaughters 22.3 M Birds to Prevent Spread of Flu

Published September 12, 2012
EFE

Mexico's poultry farmers slaughtered 22.3 million birds between June and August to contain an outbreak of avian flu, and they immunized 140 million other birds, the National Food Health, Safety and Quality Service, or Senasica, said.

The final tally of birds destroyed to prevent the spread of the AH7N3 avian influenza virus has been completed, the Senasica said.

The avian flu outbreak started in June at poultry farms in the Los Altos region of the western state of Jalisco.

No new avian flu cases have been reported in the past three weeks and affected farms are being restocked with "flocks of between 4.5 (million) and 5 million birds each month," Senasica director Enrique Sanchez said.

Mexico releases final count of birds culled to prevent bird flu

Poultry farmers in Mexico have culled nearly 22.3 million birds between June and August 2012 and immunized 140 million birds, in order to control the outbreak of avian flu, according to National Food Health, Safety and Quality Service, or Senasica.
Senasica noted that it has completed the final count of birds culled to prevent the spread of the AH7N3 avian influenza virus.
Senasica director Enrique Sanchez said that no new avian flu cases have been reported over the past three weeks and affected farms are being restored with flocks of between 4.5 million and 5 million birds each month.
The restocking of farms is likely to boost egg production to about 2,700 tons every day, with output rising gradually as new hens are added, Sanchez said.
In June, the authorities detected the virus in cities of Tepatitlan and Acatic in Mexico's largest chicken farming state Jalisco, where 11% of the country's poultry meat and 50% of its eggs are produced.
In order to prevent the outbreak of the disease to other parts of Mexico or other states, the country initiated a national emergency plan. The government ordered vaccinations from Asia and is developing its own vaccines to fight the flu. Strict controls were also been put in place on the transportation of poultry, poultry products and other animals :tiphat:http://confectionary.food-business-...t-of-birds-culled-to-prevent-bird-flu-130912?
