Avian influenza has been confirmed on six Victorian farms, including three egg farms with highly pathogenic H7N7, two turkey farms with H5N2, and an emu farm with H7N6. Victoria extended its poultry housing order to 26 September for Golden Plains Shire control areas.
Authorities say the strains pose no public risk and the poultry and eggs are safe to eat.
Culling and movement restrictions cut Australian egg and poultry supply and trigger import bans from several countries, which supports local chicken and egg prices. Feed demand from affected layer flocks may also fall.
