Japan's agriculture ministry confirmed a highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak at a farm in Asahi, Chiba Prefecture, raising about 40,000 egg-laying hens. Authorities are culling the flock, and this is the country's second outbreak of the season after a Kyoto case the previous day.
A single 40,000-hen cull is small for global supply, but repeated outbreaks in Japan add to regional egg and poultry supply pressure and may increase Japanese import demand for eggs and feed.
