A research team at LSU led by Mariano Carossino received nearly $2 million from USDA APHIS under its HPAI Poultry Innovation Grand Challenge. The project aims to develop a poultry vaccine that gives earlier and stronger protection against H5N1.
A practical poultry vaccine could eventually reduce flock losses and supply disruption, but this grant is early-stage research with no near-term effect on feed or poultry supply.
After 645 past disease events, Lean Hogs moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.8% to +2.1%), and +0.9% over 20.

After 615 past disease events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -1.8% to +1.8%), and -0.2% over 20.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
