The Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA) has welcomed the decision by Mexico's Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock to allow the import of 1-day-old chicks from Brazil. This decision comes after the acceptance of the International Zoosanitary Certificate (CSI) for the import of Brazilian poultry. The move is significant as Mexico faces challenges from avian influenza. Brazil currently supplies fertile eggs to Mexico and is now set to become a more reliable source of 1-day-old chicks. This development is seen as a major achievement for Brazil's poultry industry and its biosecurity standards.
