USDA confirmed HPAI in one commercial egg layer operation in Stanislaus County on October 28 and in backyard flocks in Sacramento and San Benito counties on October 29, November 2 and November 3. The disease has spread from the San Joaquin Valley to the Sacramento Valley and the central coast within a week.
Losses of laying hens reduce egg supply and can tighten demand for poultry-based feed ingredients, while spread into commercial flocks raises the risk of trade restrictions on California poultry. The effect on feed grain prices is likely small given the regional scale.
