A non-peer-reviewed preprint found that pigs can be infected with a cow-derived H5N1 virus but do not spread it to other pigs. The study was led by researchers at Kansas State University.
The finding suggests limited transmission risk within swine herds, so it has minimal effect on hog supply or feed demand. It is a research result rather than a market-moving event.

Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
