A study in Emerging Infectious Diseases describes a 2019 H3N1 avian influenza outbreak among commercial poultry in Belgium. Genome analysis points to wild bird origin, and the virus caused reproductive problems and substantial mortality on farms.
The findings highlight wild bird reservoirs as a source of poultry outbreaks, but the 2019 event is past and has no clear near-term effect on feed or meat prices.

Not enough comparable past events yet for a historical read.
After 615 past disease events, SBM moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -1.8% to +1.8%), and -0.2% over 20.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
