The BAI, an attached agency of the Department of Agriculture (DA), said no positive highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) case was reported from Jan. 4 to 10.

The bureau said there has been no ongoing bird flu case since the completion of culling, depopulation and surveillance activities within a one-kilometer radius of previously affected areas.

This is the first time since February 2024 that the country has not recorded any active bird flu case, the BAI said.
