The WOAH (formerly OIE) report analyzes animal disease notifications submitted through WAHIS for 2021 and early 2022. It covers African swine fever, high pathogenicity avian influenza, and SARS-CoV-2 in animals, plus aquatic animal disease reporting.
The report warns that COVID-19 disruptions may have left gaps in the reporting data.
Global surveillance gaps make it harder to judge how far ASF and avian influenza are spreading, which adds uncertainty to feed demand from affected livestock and poultry sectors. The report itself is unlikely to move prices on its own.
