Agriculture Allows The Import Of Live Birds From Several Countries

The Public Authority for Agriculture Affairs and Fish Resources issued a decision allowing the import of all types of live birds, hatching eggs and one-day-old chicks for broiler and laying chickens, from Kazakhstan, Italy, Croatia, the Philippines and Finland, after the authority confirmed that these countries are free from bird flu.
 

Today, Sunday, spokesman for the authority, Talal Al-Daihani, said that the authority, in turn, imposed a temporary ban on the import of all types of live birds, hatching eggs and one-day-old chicks for laying and broiler chickens from Lithuania, Estonia and the Kingdom of Lesotho, due to the emergence of bird flu in them.

Al-Daihani stressed the need for all consignments, according to their type, to be subject to the conditions and controls issued by the Authority’s Animal Health Department, which are in accordance with the procedures of the World Organization for Animal Health and the procedures stipulated in the veterinary quarantine regulation in Kuwait and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.

He added that consignments infected with any of the epidemic and contagious diseases will be rejected after examining the samples in the authority’s laboratory, provided that the importer is instructed to return the infected birds and animals to the destination from which they arrived at his own expense without the authority bearing any responsibility.
