The South African Poultry Association backed the Department of Agriculture's decision to keep importing poultry from Brazil despite a Newcastle disease outbreak in Santa Catarina, notified on October 20. Imports of fresh poultry meat, hatching eggs and day-old chicks may continue under existing veterinary certificates with disease-control conditions, such as six-month and 10km freedom requirements for meat.
Continued Brazilian poultry access keeps South African supply steady, limiting import-driven demand for chicken feed ingredients from that channel. Disease-related export exclusions for affected zones are a modest supply risk for Brazilian chicken exports.
