Moving flocks and poultry products through control zones

To help prevent the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in Canada, there are movement restrictions into, out of, within or through a primary control zone (PCZ).

Restrictions by other countries vary based off control zones. See the consolidated list of restrictions imposed by foreign countries.
