Taiwan's Council of Agriculture confirmed H5N6 highly pathogenic avian influenza in several poultry flocks, bringing the total to nine outbreak sites and 3,747 birds culled across five counties and cities. The authorities banned poultry transport for seven days and ordered a seven-day slaughter halt from noon, with white broilers exempted to keep the bulk of market supply intact.
The outbreak and movement restrictions tighten local supply of non-broiler poultry and reduce throughput at slaughterhouses, which can lift local poultry prices and push buyers toward imports. The white-broiler exemption limits the overall supply impact and keeps feed demand broadly stable.
