Highly pathogenic H5 avian influenza was detected at a poultry farm in Kameoka, Kyoto Prefecture, after 14 chickens were found dead. Authorities have started culling about 200,000 chickens at the farm.
Japan's cabinet met on Thursday to coordinate the government response.
Culling roughly 200,000 layers or broilers is a small loss relative to national poultry output, but recurring outbreaks raise import demand for feed and sustain pressure on domestic poultry supply. Broader spread would firm Asian feed-grain and meal demand and support chicken and egg prices.
