China bans Brazilian poultry imports over avian influenza
BEIJING, May 30 (Reuters) - China banned the imports of poultry and related products from Brazil over an avian influenza outbreak, the customs administration said in a notice released on its website dated May 29. Brazil, the world's largest chicken exporter, confirmed its first outbreak of bird flu on a commercial poultry farm in its southernmost state earlier this month, triggering a slew of international trade bans. The Brazilian government had previously asked top buyer China to restrict its embargo to poultry products just from the city where the outbreak occurred.

Argentina halts Brazil poultry imports after bird flu outbreak
BUENOS AIRES, May 16 (Reuters) - Argentina's state sanitation agency Senasa on Friday ordered a suspension of imports of products and byproducts of avian origin from Brazil, the world's largest chicken exporter that hours earlier confirmed its first outbreak of bird flu on a commercial poultry farm. "After the confirmation from Brazilian authorities, Senasa requested the productive sector strengthen biosecurity measures in its establishments," the agency said in a statement, adding the measures would be in place until Brazil is certified as free of the bird flu.
