Japan: Impact of Miyazaki HPAI Detection Remains Limited
On January 24, 2017, Japan's Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) implemented quarantine restrictions on a Miyazaki broiler farm raising 170,000 birds in response to a detection of H5N6 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). While Miyazaki prefecture is the largest producer of broiler meat in Japan, the depopulated flock represents one tenth of one percent of the national flock. Barring further HPAI detections within the 10-kilometer radius restriction zone, quarantine restrictions should be lifted on February 17, 2017.
