Brasília – The decision to suspend imports of chickens and their genetic material from the United States will not be detrimental to the Brazilian poultry industry, says Ariel Mendes of the Brazilian Aviculture Union. “For security reasons these firms have genetic material in various countries. When there is a problem in one country they just export from some other place,” he explained.
Last year, 60% of the chicken genetic material Brazil imported came from the US.
