Finland's Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has added highly pathogenic avian influenza in cattle to the list of animal diseases under state surveillance. Suspected cases in cows must now be reported to a vet immediately.
The virus has not been found in Finnish cattle, and in an outbreak, animal movements would be restricted and milk would have to be pasteurised.
This is a regulatory surveillance step with no current supply effect, since no infections have been detected in Finnish cattle. It has little direct impact on feed commodity prices.
