Major Poultry Trading Partners Recognizing Ontario A-I Control Zones

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says some of our trading partners are recognizing both of the avian influenza control zones set up in Ontario.

Those zones surround the two infected locations - a turkey barn near Woodstock and a poultry farm southwest of Kitchener.

The CFIA says partners such as the European Union and the United States are expected to re-open trade in poultry products outside those two zones shortly.

The Agency has also completed scientific testing on the H5N2 viruses found in Ontario.

The CFIA says the two in Ontario are nearly identical to the strain in B-C and matches the strain isolated in Washington State.

Although all premises having poultry on site within those two control zones have been placed under quarantine, the CFIA says only the first two infected premises have shown any sign of the illness.
