Avian influenza has been reported in 26 countries across Asia, Europe and the Middle East, according to the OIE. Vietnam culled over 100,000 birds, and India's Navapur district euthanized more than 340,000 birds, while Bulgaria culled about 259,000 birds.
Widespread culling in major poultry producing countries reduces bird numbers and feed demand, supporting chicken prices while lowering meal and grain use in affected regions.
