Russia's agricultural watchdog Rosselkhoznadzor listed new animal disease reports for 2 November 2026. These include African swine fever in Spain, Latvia, Poland and Finland, highly pathogenic avian influenza in Denmark and Italy, bluetongue in Lithuania, and fowl typhoid in Cyprus.
Media reports also cover bird flu in dairy farms in Washington State and mass goose deaths on the Finnish border.
Repeated African swine fever cases in European pork producers can reduce EU pork exports and weigh on hog prices, while avian influenza alerts can prompt poultry trade bans. The list is a compilation of existing reports and is not a new supply shock.
After 117 past bearish disease events, Lean Hogs moved a median -0.6% over 5 sessions (36% higher; middle half -2.2% to +1.6%), and +1.2% over 20.
