Iraq reported an H5N8 outbreak at a commercial poultry farm in Diyala province, killing 7,250 of 43,000 birds, and Afghanistan reported H5 in rooks near Khost. Germany reported its first H5N6 detection, and Saudi Arabia reported 16 more H5N8 outbreaks.
Spreading poultry outbreaks in the Middle East and Asia raise culling and trade-restriction risk for poultry producers, which can support chicken prices and feed demand over time. Effects on grain and meal prices are small at this scale.
