Malaysia has suspended all imports of cattle and buffalo from Thailand over lumpy skin disease, which has reportedly spread to more than 41 Thai provinces. Authorities are stepping up border monitoring to stop smuggling.
Forty-two imported cattle in Kedah have been infected so far.
The import ban redirects regional cattle trade and tightens supply to Malaysian buyers, with limited effect on global feed or grain prices.
After 356 past disease events, Live Cattle moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -0.8% to +1.1%), and +1.1% over 20.
After 266 past disease events, Feeder Cattle moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (59% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.7%), and +1.7% over 20.
