South Africa's agriculture department reports 92 HPAI H5N8 detections since the first case in June 2017, most in Western Cape, including commercial poultry, ostriches and wild birds. The department is weighing vaccination of specific bird groups and is enforcing bans on moving live commercial chickens from affected farms.
Culling and movement bans cut South African poultry supply and may raise domestic chicken prices and imports of feed grains. A vaccination program could ease losses but may restrict export trade.
