Highly pathogenic avian influenza was reported in six more poultry flocks in Jalisco, Mexico, bringing that country's 2019 total to 30 outbreaks and over 1.03 million birds lost. Taiwan reported a new H5N2 outbreak and Chile reported a milder variant in turkeys.
Poultry losses in Mexico and Asia reduce local chicken supply and can shift demand toward other proteins, while also reducing feed demand from affected flocks. The impact on global feed prices is modest given the scale of the outbreaks.
