Taiwan's "Agriculture Commission" announced yesterday (10th) that in response to the severe international avian influenza epidemic, taking into account quarantine risks and industrial needs, it is expected that it will be imported into the United States, Canada and France chicks and fertilized eggs for a period of 6 months from next month to solve the urgent problem. Today (11th), Chen Jizhong, the chairman of the Committee of Agriculture, emphasized that if imports cannot be imported, the chicken farming industry on Taiwan will have no chickens available, and the opening of imports will be discussed by expert meetings to ensure that the epidemic and food supply are safe.
Yesterday, the "Committee of Agriculture" stated that the international wave of highly pathogenic poultry influenza (abbrian flu) has severe epidemics. The epidemic has spread from Taiwan's main imported chicks, fertilized eggs and chickens. The United States, Canada and France, which supply Taiwanese young poultry and fertilized eggs, are also unavoidable. Therefore, taking into account the quarantine risks and industrial needs, the project imported chicks and fertilized eggs from the United States, Canada and France for a period of 6 months.
Chen Jizhong explained in an interview that the countries and regions where Taiwan imported chicks and chickens include Canada, the United States, and France. Among them, the United States and France have avian influenza epidemic, but Taiwan's chicks and fertilized eggs rely on "outdoors". If they cannot be imported, all Taiwanese chicken farming industry farmers have no chickens to use. Therefore, while ensuring the prevention of avian influenza epidemic, through special projects, the chicks can supply the chicken farming and laying hen industries on the island, and the supply of food security is safe. This has been discussed by a meeting of scholars and experts.
