- The agency established a prevention area, began epidemiological tracing, and ordered reinforced biosecurity for nearby premises under Resolution 1699/2019.
- Four recent outbreaks at commercial farms—three in the Buenos Aires area and one in Córdoba—triggered temporary export limits that remain until 28 days pass without new cases.
- Fresh poultry shipments face restrictions in about 40 markets, including China, while more than 35 destinations continue to accept products under zonification and regionalization.
- Industry group CAPIA is urging immediate strategic vaccination of long‑cycle birds to protect laying hens and proposing buyer‑specific protocols to allow exports from certified non‑vaccinated farms.
