Imports to Argentina, Peru and Hong Kong restricted. Outbreak of a low-pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) virus is under control, the Chilean State Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG) reported Wednesday.
The importing of Chilean turkey meat has been restricted in Argentina, Peru and Hong Kong, due to an outbreak of bird flu in central Chile.
The outbreak, of a low-pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) virus, is under control, the Chilean State Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG) reported on Wednesday.
“Regarding shipments of poultry and its products from Chile to various markets, the SAG has been notified of restrictions only on the part of Argentina, Peru and Hong Kong,” the SAG said in a statement.
The three nations made that determination after an outbreak was detected on August 27 in a turkey pen at the Sopraval company, located in the Los Nogales commune, Valparaíso, 120 kilometres west of Santiago.
