The DLD order on temporary suspension of the importation or transit of live poultry and poultry carcasses from Indiato prevent the spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (Subtype H5N1)

According to the announcement of the Government Gazette dated 22 January 2024, the suspension for the importation or transit of live poultry and poultry carcasses from India has expired on 22 April 2024. However, India has no self-declaration for the recovery of country freedom from Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza from WOAH. Therefore it is necessary for Thailand to prevent the entry of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) disease into the country. By virtue of the Animal Epidemics Act B.E. 2558 (2015), the importation or transit of live poultry and poultry carcasses from India is temporarily suspended for a period of 90 days after the date of publication in the Thai Royal Gazette.
