SAO PAULO, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Brazilian food processor

BRF, the world's largest chicken exporter, said it

earned 735 million reais ($136 million) in the second quarter

despite trade disruptions caused by an outbreak of bird flu in

May, which triggered trade bans.

The company, which also processes pork and prepared food

products, said earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and

amortization, a measure of operating income known as EBITDA, was

2.5 billion reais in the period, in line with the average of

analysts forecasts.
