Federal investment to curb bird flu
The Federal Government resources announced this Tuesday will be used to fight a possible increase in highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1).
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, the credit will be directed to the Unified System of Attention to Agricultural Health (Suasa), with the objective of strengthening actions for the prevention and control of influenza aviary.
The communiqué pointed out that technical teams may receive reinforcements to carry out specific actions, including the rapid identification of suspected cases, carrying out tests and implementing sanitary measures suitable.
Apparently, the budget was released for prevention, in order to inhibit the advance of a possible epidemic. Therefore, the Federal Government considered that Brazil is free of major proportions in the commercial field, claiming that it will maintain the status of freedom against avian influenza. They also indicated that the country's poultry products are exported with food safety.
