Newcastle Disease outbreak contained

After confirming an outbreak of Newcastle Disease at a commercial poultry farm on 17 July, Brazil has taken significant steps to fully reopen its market and resume the export flow of poultry meat and products.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) informed the outbreak was contained the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) on July 25. As a result, the official document registered with the international entity was updated on 26 July, indicating no ongoing virus outbreak in the country.

This update allows the Brazilian government to await the lifting of suspensions by importing countries, paving the way for the full resumption of poultry meat exports.

The follow-up report published on the WOAH website states: “The epidemiological investigation conducted by the Official Veterinary Services in the peripheral and surveillance areas did not identify animals showing clinical signs compatible with Newcastle Disease.”
