MANILA, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- The Philippines has imposed a temporary ban on the importation of wild and domestic birds, including poultry products, from the Netherlands following a recent outbreak of bird flu, the country's Department of Agriculture (DA) said Thursday.
The suspension covers poultry meat, day-old chicks, eggs, and even semen used for artificial insemination of breeders, the DA said in a press release.
Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel said Dutch veterinary authorities reported to the World Organization for Animal Health on Oct. 8 an outbreak of H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Aa en Hunze, Drenthe, on Oct. 6, which infected domestic birds.
