More than 250,000 poultry were euthanized in Sonoma County, California, to contain a highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak that is spreading across the state. Several other California commercial farms, including egg layers, duck breeders and a turkey farm, also lost birds.
Separately, a California poultry processor was ordered to pay $3.8 million over child labor violations.
Culling large numbers of layers and breeders tightens local poultry and egg supply, which can support prices for poultry products and modestly reduce feed demand.
