The USDA has awarded Louisiana State University nearly $2 million from a $100 million HPAI Poultry Innovation Grand Challenge to develop a mucosal H5N1 vaccine for poultry. The program funded 58 projects in total, and the virus has cost the US more than 168 million birds since 2022.
A vaccine for poultry could eventually reduce culling and flock losses that tighten chicken and egg supply. The grant is early-stage research, so it has no near-term effect on feed demand or prices.
