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 3.4.1–3.4.10)
Pathway | Third country trade | Intra‐EU movements | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
HPAI | LPAI | HPAI | LPAI | |
Live birds, including birds as pets, bird of prey, pigeons or others | Extreme unlikely | Very unlikely | ||
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 |
Feathers, skin and down | Extreme unlikely | Not relevant | Very unlikely | Not relevant |
Feed | Extreme unlikely (non‐negligiblea) | |||
Bedding | Extreme unlikely (non‐negligiblea) | |||
Manure | Not relevant | Non‐negligible | ||
Pharmaceuticals | Extreme unlikely | |||
Other animal by‐products | Extreme unlikely | Not relevant | Extreme unlikely | Not relevant |
