The Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) and Singapore Food Agency (SFA) implement strict measures, including inspecting imported birds and testing migratory birds. Poultry imports are restricted to approved sources, with bans imposed if H5N1 is detected. This may cause fluctuations in poultry supply. The food industry is encouraged to diversify imports to ensure resilience during outbreaks. Currently, 30 countries are approved to export poultry to Singapore.
