中國發現首例人H7N9亞型流感病例以來，盡管家禽業沒有發生H7N9禽流感疫情，但仍然受到重大沖擊，中國官方16日推出穩定家禽業生產的扶持政策，要求加大對家禽養殖的財政補貼和信貸支持，以保護畜牧業生產力，最大限度減少農民損失。
Beijing (CNS) -- Financial subsidies and credit loans should be granted to the country's poultry sector to minimize losses caused by the strain of H7N9, the agriculture ministry said on Tuesday.
Losses in chicken-related farming and enterprises nationwide have exceeded 16.7 billion yuan ($2.7 billion), according to the National Poultry Industry Association.
Fearing bird flu, many consumers have stopped eating chicken and eggs, which resulted in big drops in prices and sales.
The ministry asked local governments to combat the flu and support the poultry sector at the same time.
Other supporting policies include monitoring enterprises' purchase agreements and sending veterinarians to instruct farmers.
The ministry also confirmed that poultry products available at markets that have certificates of quarantine are safe.
