Bird flu has killed more than 80 million birds in the U.S. since early 2022, most of them egg layers. Highest death tolls were reported in Iowa, Ohio and California, and central California's outbreak has been particularly severe with more than 4 million birds affected.
Biosecurity practices at poultry facilities are described as critical to preventing further spread.
Sustained layer mortality keeps egg prices elevated and reduces poultry flock size over time, which can slightly lower demand for feed ingredients.
