In a decision issued on 15 July, the national chief veterinarian revoked the order to keep poultry captive due to avian influenza, but captive feeding and watering will continue to be mandatory, the National Food Chain Safety Authority (Nébih) announced on its website.

The agency stresses in a statement that it is important that keepers also comply with minimum disease control conditions, thus minimizing the risk of re-emergence of bird flu in the country.

he relief may have been due to the favorable development of the epidemic situation, as the Nébih laboratory has not detected any new infections in domestic, wild or captive birds since 5 June. (MTI)
