The USDA reported highly pathogenic avian influenza in Greeley County, Kansas, affecting 37,500 birds, including a commercial game bird flock in October and a poultry flock the prior week. Across Kansas this year, detections have hit nine or more counties with an estimated 468,000 birds affected, and 34 flocks nationally tested positive in the past 30 days, impacting about 2.74 million birds.
Losses of layer and turkey-type poultry tighten supply of poultry meat and eggs, supporting prices for chicken and egg markets and marginally affecting demand for poultry-based feed ingredients. The scale remains modest relative to national flocks, so the price effect is limited.
