Japan detected its first avian influenza case of the season at a poultry farm in Kameoka, Kyoto Prefecture, after 14 chickens were found dead. Genetic tests confirmed a highly pathogenic H5 virus, and local authorities began culling about 200,000 chickens.
The government held an emergency cabinet meeting and urged farms to tighten hygiene measures.
Culling a large layer flock and the risk of further spread could tighten Japanese egg supply and push up egg prices, which may increase import demand for feed ingredients. The effect on feed grain prices is likely limited.
