More than 2.7 million chickens have been culled in South Africa due to highly pathogenic avian influenza, mainly affecting commercial layer flocks. The industry says poultry meat demand and supply are at breakeven after a July flare-up linked to biosecurity breaches during civil unrest in KwaZulu-Natal.
Culling of layers and breeders tightens domestic supply of poultry and eggs, supporting prices for chicken and related feed demand in South Africa. Producers are holding flocks longer and slaughtering later, which partly offsets the supply loss.
