Highly pathogenic avian influenza was confirmed at a chicken farm in Asahi, Chiba Prefecture, the second poultry outbreak in Japan this season. The prefecture will cull about 40,000 egg-laying chickens and has barred transport of 5.62 million chickens at 49 farms within a 10-km radius.
Culls and movement restrictions tighten local egg supply and may lift Japanese egg prices, which can increase import demand. The scale is modest relative to global supply.
