(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ko Eun-ji = With the occurrence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (type H7N7) in Australia, Australian poultry, ostrich, and poultry meat imports were banned immediately on the 1st. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the action comes after the Australian Ministry of Agriculture urgently reported to the World Animal Health Organization (OIE) on the 31st of last month that H7N7 high-pathogenic avian influenza has been identified on a laying farm in southern Victoria. The targets of the import ban include live birds (chicken, ducks, etc.), poultry vinegar (chicks), poultry eggs, edible eggs, ostrich, poultry, poultry products such as chicken or duck meat. The Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Rural Affairs said this year that the high pathogenic avian influenza has increased in neighboring countries such as China and Taiwan and Europe, which has increased the possibility of disease influx along with migratory birds in winter this year.
