The Federal Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance Service (Rosselkhoznadzor) plans to limit the movement of all poultry products from the United States through the country to Kazakhstan. This was reported by RIA News with source reference.
The material shows that the corresponding supply volume in 2023 is 15 thousand tons. The source also explained that compared to the results of the previous year, this figure was significantly higher – 23 thousand tons.
“Rosselkhoznadzor considers it necessary to impose temporary restrictions on the transit of all poultry products from the United States to Kazakhstan via Russia,” he added.
The source did not rule out that the service wants to prevent highly pathogenic bird flu from entering the territory of the Russian Federation in this way. According to him, there is currently an unstable epizootic situation with the disease in question in the United States.
Especially the World Organization for Animal Health (WHO) drew attention to this. More than 290 cases of bird flu infection have been reported in the United States this year, according to official statistics.
