# SA poultry industry on flu watch | SA

> South Australian authorities say they are confident existing measures will prevent and contain any spread of avian influenza from Victoria. The H7N7 strain was first detected at a free-range egg farm near Lethbridge and has since reached at least six farms, with more than 400,000 birds euthanised. Several countries have imposed temporary bans on Victorian poultry imports, and SA has found no known links to its industry.

## Why it matters

The outbreak remains contained to Victoria, so the immediate supply impact on the national poultry market is limited. Any spread to SA would tighten supply further.
