The 2022-26 HPAI outbreak has now hit more than 1,000 US commercial flocks, passing that mark on March 31 and 1,001 on April 1. Most losses have been turkey flocks, with significant layer, broiler and duck losses as well.
Continued poultry losses reduce bird numbers and feed demand, mainly in turkeys and layers, which is modestly bearish for poultry feed demand and supportive of chicken and turkey prices.
