Brazil confirmed Newcastle disease on a turkey farm in Santa Catarina on October 18, 2026, which could halt chicken shipments to China due to existing trade arrangements with Beijing. The farm was placed under quarantine, and the Agriculture Ministry is monitoring 133 establishments in four municipalities.
