Ghana's agriculture ministry reported a highly pathogenic H9N2 avian flu outbreak at a commercial layer farm in Brong-Ahafo, which killed 4,225 of 16,822 hens. The farm sits on the Ivory Coast border, and poultry movement controls were imposed.
H9N2 usually circulates as a low-pathogenic strain, so a highly pathogenic case is unusual and could prompt wider flock losses and trade restrictions. Feed demand impact is currently local and small.
