# Poultry Industry May Bottom Out in Q3

> Guangdong poultry farms are losing money after an avian influenza H7 detection in a Dongguan live-bird market cut live chicken sales sharply. Large producer Wens reportedly loses about 30 million yuan per day, and feed sales have dropped about 50% over more than a month. Feed prices have been cut about 3%, with corn at 2420 yuan/t and soymeal at 3850 yuan/t.

## Why it matters

Lower chicken demand reduces feed ingredient purchases, which is bearish for corn and soymeal in China. Producers are cutting flocks, so supply may tighten later, but near-term price pressure on feed and poultry remains.
