The outbreak of a virulent poultry disease that prompted Brazil to restrict its chicken exports has been resolved, according to the nation’s government.
The world’s largest chicken supplier has notified the World Organization for Animal Health of no further detections of Newcastle disease in poultry farms and expects importers to lift restrictions on its exports, Brazil’s agriculture ministry said in a statement.
Brazil’s top chicken exporter BRF SA jumped as much as 3.6% after the statement release.
