“The import of poultry or poultry products can also pass the virus and the hypothesis that wild birds are to blame is groundless.”
Gao Fu
“However, if bird flu results in a permanent reduction in world poultry production, an increase in red meat production might eventually be required, resulting in increased feed consumption in the long term. Domestic demand prospects also remain strong due to increasing livestock production and expanding ethanol production. These developments should support increased corn consumption well beyond the 2005-06 marketing year.”

“If it gets into the wild birds and then it gets into the domestic poultry, then we've got a very direct contact between humans and infected birds.”
Joe Johnson
“One was a regular virus like we have seen in poultry in Turkey before.”
Ruben Donis
“Exports of poultry products are expected to be the first category to suffer due to the breakout of bird flu in China.”
Huang Xin
“The virus is transmitted by live birds. It's not in the poultry meat and it's certainly not in eggs.”
Hugh Pennington
“It's possible that live poultry may also carry bird flu virus.”
