Norwegian authorities detected avian influenza at a commercial poultry farm in Vestby, Akershus, requiring the culling of 13,000 birds. Separately, bird flu was found for the third time in a week at farms in Hierden, Gelderland, in the Netherlands, where about 19,000 ducks and laying hens are being culled.
Culling of layer and duck flocks in Europe tightens local egg and poultry supply and adds to feed demand. Repeated detections in the Netherlands raise the risk of wider EU spread, which could support feed-grain and meal demand modestly.
