Highly pathogenic avian influenza is resurging in US commercial poultry, driven by wild bird migration. Cumulative losses since 2022 exceed 206 million birds, and table egg layer flocks account for about three-quarters of losses.
The USDA says detections are typically higher in spring and fall.
Renewed layer and poultry losses tighten egg and poultry supply and can lift prices, though a flock rebuild is still underway. Reduced layer numbers also lower feed demand for corn and soybean meal over time.
