The FACE July 2025 animal health update reports 1,580 avian influenza outbreaks across 36 countries, including 579 on farms, captive sites and backyards. It also lists 2025 African swine fever cases in European wild boar, led by Poland with 2,416 and Germany with 1,651.
Continued ASF spread in European wild boar keeps export restrictions on EU pork at risk, which can weigh on European hog prices and feed demand for pork. Avian influenza outbreaks in poultry can cut demand for feed grains and meal.
