The Friedrich Loeffler Institute confirmed a highly contagious H5N1 outbreak at a poultry farm in Aurich district, Lower Saxony, the first major poultry farm case this autumn. Birds on the farm are being culled, a restricted zone has been set up, and the ministry is urging strict hygiene as migratory birds increase the risk.
Culling in a German poultry region reduces local meat supply and can raise demand for feed-grade substitutes if restrictions widen. The impact on global feed prices is limited unless the outbreak spreads across major EU producers.
