# Spread of avian flu noted in China, Korea, Europe

> H5N6 avian flu spread through birds in China's Sichuan province, leading to the culling of 38,000 poultry in Mianzhu. Macau halted poultry imports from mainland China after H7 detections and quarantined a man with H7N9. Hungary, Poland and France also reported more H5N8 farm outbreaks.

## Why it matters

Culling in China and import bans from Macau reduce local poultry supply and trade flows. The effect on feed prices is small, but ongoing spread across several regions keeps supply risk elevated.
