South Korea confirmed a highly pathogenic H5N8 bird flu outbreak on a duck farm in the southwest of the country, according to the OIE. The outbreak led to the culling of about 19,000 ducks.
The cull is small relative to national poultry output, so the direct price effect on feed demand is limited, though it signals ongoing regional HPAI risk.
