The United States, Canada and Mexico have entered an arrangement to enhance collaboration on avian influenza. Meatingplace reports that along with their poultry and egg industries, the countries signed the agreement this week to work toward harmonizing procedures for responding to possible future detections of the virus. The agreement recognizes that the spread of the virus by migratory birds is perhaps one of greatest challenges facing the global poultry industry, according to the countries. They say as partners in the North American Free Trade Agreement, they must harmonize their methods for dealing with avian influenza to keep their poultry production systems safe and sustainable, and to minimize trade disruptions that can result from avian influenza detections in commercial poultry.
