Poland confirmed highly pathogenic avian influenza in goose and turkey farms in Warmian-Masurian province, with about 4,000 birds dying, and lost its HPAI-free status. Африка swine fever continued to spread in domestic pigs and wild boar in the east, and bluetongue was also confirmed, prompting culling, zones and movement bans.
Loss of disease-free status and export restrictions can limit Polish poultry and pork sales abroad, pushing domestic prices lower while reducing feed demand from affected flocks and herds.
After 117 past bearish disease events, HOGS moved a median -0.6% over 5 sessions (36% higher; middle half -2.2% to +1.6%), and +1.2% over 20.
