The presence of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) AH5N1 does not represent any risk for the consumption of chicken and eggs.

The National Service for Agrifood Health, Safety and Quality (Senasica) confirmed the circulation of the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza virus (HPAI) AH5N1 in a commercial laying farm in Montemorelos, Nuevo León, with a population of 60,000 birds.

The finding is the product of the timely notification of a producer from Nuevo León, in accordance with the epidemiological surveillance actions carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, to protect the country's chicken and egg production, within the framework of the National Device of Emergency (Dinesa), activated last June.

Immediately, technicians from the United States-Mexico Commission for the Prevention of Foot-and-Mouth Disease and Other Exotic Animal Diseases (CPA) of the Senasica went to take the corresponding samples and the presence of the virus was confirmed in the official laboratories, for which took the corresponding anti-epidemic measures.

The technicians of the General Directorate of Animal Health (DGSA) installed the corresponding quarantine and the indicated sanitary measures were applied, for which reason the depopulation, cleaning and disinfection, sanitary vacuum and sentinelization of the farm will be carried out.

Likewise, the Senasica reported that a new case was found in wild birds in Tijuana, Baja California, and in a family laying farm in the municipality of Juárez, Chiapas, with a population of 186 birds.

He said that migrations from Canada and the United States are causing HPAI AH5N1 outbreaks in wild birds in various parts of the country, for which he reiterated his urging commercial and family poultry producers to strictly comply with biosecurity measures and avoid at all costs. the entry of birds into their poultry production units.

Similarly, staff must shower before entering the farm, change their home clothes for work clothes and repeat the procedure when leaving the Poultry Production Unit (UPA).

The entry of people outside the UPA must be avoided and its facilities must be scrupulously reviewed, so that there are no spaces through which wild birds can enter.

With the purpose of contributing to protect the production of chicken meat and eggs, the Senasica invited producers, veterinarians and the general population to immediately notify any suspicion they detect, for which it puts at their disposal the telephone number 800 751 2100 and the Avise app, on iOS and Android systems.
