The biosecurity risks associated with the importation of chilled or frozen meat and meat products derived from chickens (Gallus gallus) or ducks (Pekin ducks, Anas platyrhynchos domestica or Anas peking, muscovy ducks Cairina moschata, or a hybrid of these known as mulard or moulard ducks) have been examined.
From an initial list of 116 organisms/groups of organisms possibly associated with chickens and ducks, a preliminary hazard list identified 47 organisms/groups of organisms that required further consideration. Of these preliminary hazards, 14 were identified as hazards in imported whole chicken carcases, 6 in imports limited to chicken meat, 16 in imported whole duck carcases and 10 of these were identified as hazards in imports limited to duck meat.
Following a risk assessment for each of these hazards, options to manage the risk associated with the following hazards in chicken meat have been presented: Newcastle disease virus, highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, infectious bursal disease virus, and Salmonella arizonae. For imported whole chicken carcases, risk management measures have also been presented for avian paramyxovirus-2 and exotic strains of infectious bronchitis virus.
Options to manage the risk associated with the following hazards in duck meat have been presented: Newcastle disease virus, highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, duck hepatitis virus, derzsy’s disease virus (muscovy ducks and their hybrids only) and Salmonella arizonae. For imported whole duck carcases, risk management measures have also been presented for avian paramyxovirus-2 and duck virus enteritis virus.
