00:00The Department of Agriculture assures that there won't be a spike in the price of eggs and chickens this holiday season.
00:06This is despite the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N2 detected in a duck farm in Camarines Norte.
00:14The Bureau of Animal Industry also confirmed that there are active cases in the area
00:18where it was recorded as the second in the areas with cases following the pandemic.
00:23But if the DA clarifies, this won't affect the price of the so-called purchased goods.
00:29Meanwhile, an interim import ban was imposed on domestic wild birds and poultry products from the Netherlands.
00:37This is in the midst of the AI outbreak that is taking place in one of the cities in the country.
00:42The DA will also punish the imported poultry commodities from the Netherlands,
00:47except for those that are already in transit and have arrived in the country after the issuance of the order.
00:53The same goes for the imported poultry products before November 3.
