Russia restricts poultry imports from Czech Republic

Russia has imposed temporary import restrictions on live poultry, hatching eggs, poultry meat, foodstuffs and feed supplements for birds from the Czech Republic.
The press office of the Russian Federal Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision Service reported today.
The ban is being introduced due to an outbreak of a highly pathogenic form of bird flu of the H5N1 type.
Restrictions will also apply to poultry keeping and killing equipment.
