FESASS organized a workshop on controlling African swine fever and HPAI, held on October 14, 2022. Participants called for rapid diagnostic tests, and Diagnostics for Animals reported that more than 1,660 tests are listed on its website.
The workshop covers testing and control methods without a new outbreak or supply shock, so it has little direct effect on feed or meat prices.

Not enough comparable past events yet for a historical read.
After 615 past disease events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -1.8% to +1.8%), and -0.2% over 20.
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.
