Show Notes

Chicken exports are returning to normal after a bird flu outbreak in Otago last year.

Last December, New Zealand experienced its first confirmed case of avian influenza on an Otago egg farm and thousands of chickens were culled.

While the outbreak was contained to the Hillgrove farm, measures were taken to prevent further spread, including surveillance and temporary suspension of chicken exports.

The Country's Rowena Duncum explains further.
