Mexico and Belgium have introduced stricter biosecurity measures after avian influenza outbreaks in their poultry sectors. Mexico's new protocol requires compliance verification by producers' vets, independent vets and the national agency Senasica.
Mexico has vaccinated birds and says H5 and H7 HPAI are under control.
Stricter biosecurity rules are a policy response that changes costs for producers but has little direct effect on feed demand or prices.
