						 | The Poultry Site

> Weekly protein digest reports eight new US HPAI commercial flock confirmations, bringing the total to 121, including 1.7 million layers in Nebraska. Severe outbreaks in the US and France are tightening global egg supplies, with Midwest wholesale large-egg prices above $3 per dozen in March and French wholesale shell-egg prices up 69% year on year.

Continued layer losses keep global egg supply tight and support egg prices, which weakens layer flock rebuilding and modestly reduces feed grain demand.
