In JANUARY 2017, up to now, the OIE has issued 18 alerts of Avian Influenza from different countries in the world. From November 2016 to January 2017, the incidence of avian influenza is increasing and in China there had been human deaths too. BIOSECURITY is a must and each poultry producer should be strict in that matter. No compromise on this subject.
