Avian influenza cases were reported at farms in Afyonkarahisar, prompting quarantines and the culling of about 2 million laying hens. Wholesale egg prices rose by about 6 TL per unit, with a 30-count tray up roughly 180 TL.
The loss of about 2 million laying hens tightens Turkish egg supply until replacement flocks reach laying age, supporting egg prices. For feed buyers, lower layer numbers reduce near-term demand for layer feed ingredients such as corn and soybean meal.
