Russia's agricultural regulator Rosselkhoznadzor published its list of animal disease notices for 5 November 2026. It covers highly pathogenic avian influenza in several European countries and Chile, African swine fever in Serbia and Estonia, Newcastle disease in Brazil and Hungary, and foot-and-mouth disease in South Korea.
Media-sourced reports include a fourth Newcastle disease outbreak in Brazil's Santa Catarina state and a human avian flu death in Washington State.
Disease notices for poultry and pork producers can trigger import bans and shift trade flows, supporting feed ingredient demand where exporters are cut off. Effects on grain and meal prices are usually modest unless a major exporter such as Brazil is hit by a large outbreak.
