Table 8.

Probability of HPAI and LPAI introduction into a commercial poultry holding via non‐wild bird pathways, separating third country trade and intra‐EU movements (for brevity, some categories have been grouped; relevant explanation of the probability scores is reported in Appendix F and summarised in Sections 3.4.13.4.10)

Live poultry (poultry for breeding or production (> 72 h old); day‐old chicks and hatching eggs) Extreme unlikely (live poultry and day‐old chicks); very unlikely (hatching eggs) Unlikely Unlikely (hatching eggs); Non‐negligible (live poultry and day‐old chicks)
Meat and eggs for human consumption Very unlikely Not relevant (meat); Very unlikely (eggs) Very unlikely Not relevant (meat); Very unlikely (eggs)
Semen Non‐negligible Not relevant Non‐negligible Not relevant
